I installed Windows XP Pro just a few days ago, and I typed in the PW, which I know by heart, and windows won't let me logon with it. Is there a way I can reset/change it without having to re-install windows?

I have admin priv. I just don't wanna use my account to do everything with. Some stuff I try to keep sep. of mine. I can press F8 though and login with safe-mode. I don't know how to change it though, because windows says the one that I typed in when I installed windows isn't the correct password.

Well screw that then.. It's gonna be corrupt cuz I'm not backin' up everything on here again and spending hours reformating, and re-installing everything.
