xp lost administrator password?


I have an old dell computer and the problem is that when I tried to log in to it after two months to search some files I could not log in as I have lost my password. I am searching for some important files so is there any way by which I can bypass the xp administrator password. I tried websites like loginrecovery.com etc. but I still can't retrieve my password. If someone has any idea or know about it please tell me also

Sometime it happens that you forget your password or because of some reason it does not accept your password but do not worry as there are various methods that can help you solve this problem. First method is trying hard to remember the forgotten password, or a password of another user which has the same administrative rights and another method is by trying to restore a backed up System State (in Windows 2000/XP/2003) or a ERD (in NT 4.0) in which you do remember the password. But the problem in doing so is that you'll probably lose all of the recently added groups and users, and all the changed passwords for all of your users since the last backup was made. If it does not help you then visit lifehacker.com as it can provide some good way out also…..
