Windows XP Pro login password

[bazeel]

Hi all.
My friend has just been given a system with Windows XP Pro and the password they gave him to use at login doesn't work.
I booted into safe mode hoping to login to the Administrators account (hopefully without a password) and then go on to 'set up a new user' etc.
The Admin user doesn't show at all just the original user name.
Help please. TIA
Bazeel
