Forgot my password and I'm an Admin.

XP Pro sp2.  I'm an admin on the machine and I can't remember my password.  Caln't log in as Administrator because simple login is used and no "Administrator" user icon is present.  No other users are Admiins.  Help!

Try this (http://www.getwindowspassword.com/demo.html) if you need to get in right away. It looks simple.
Boot the computer in safe mode.  This will give you the icon for administrator.  When you're in safe mode as administrator, you can go to control panel>users and take the password off of your account or change it.
