Hi

During the installation process of Windows XP an Administrator account is created. Boot into safe mode and press CTRL+ALT+DELETE twice and try entering administrator and then the password assigned to the account. If you cannot recall creating a password for this account then leave the password field blank and see if you can log in that way.
