If you have a reset disk you need to follow this steps:-

1. Restart the computer.
   
2. On the Windows XP logon screen, click the user name that you want to use, and then press ENTER.
   
3. Click Use your password reset disk. The Password Reset Wizard starts. The Password Reset Wizard enables you to create a new password for your user account.
   
4. In the Password Reset Wizard dialog box, click Next.
   
5. Insert the password reset disc into the CD drive, and then click Next.
   
6. Type a new password in the Type a new password box, and then type the password again in the Type the password again to confirm box.
   
7. In the Type a new password hint box, type a hint for the password, and then click Next.
   
8. Click Finish, and then try to log on to Windows XP again.

Now you can use Windows using your own user and password which you have set.
