Start your machine in safe mode, then you will have the ability to
logon using the hidden default admin account, make your changes.

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s). By design, the
only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to
reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at
the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.

Start your Notebook tap the F8 key before windows begins to load and
you will be presented with the boot menu, select safe mode, next you
will see the logon screen with the hidden admin account.
