If you in a user that is a Adminatrator you can change the password if you don't have another adminstrator account you will have to use one of the other method I describe below...
Goto the zip file on this page download it to a CD

I have used this in a Win 2000 and it worked great....
Petter Nordahl-Hagen has written a Windows NT/2000/XP offline password editor:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd...
This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 system, by modifying the encrypted password in the registry's SAM file.
You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppy disk or CD. The boot-disk includes stuff to access NTFS partitions and scripts to glue the whole thing together.
Works with syskey (no need to turn it off, but you can if you have lost the key)
Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
Caution: If used on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or later service packs on W2K, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again!
Download links:
cd060213.zip (~3MB) - Bootable CD image with newer drivers
bd050303.zip (~1.1MB) - Bootdisk image, date 050303.
sc050303.zip(~1.4MB) - SCSI-drivers (050303) (only use newest drivers with newest bootdisk, this one works with bd050303)
To write these images to a floppy disk you'll need RawWrite2 which is included in the Bootdisk image download. To create the CD you just need to use your favorite CD burning program and burn the .ISO file to CD.

Just by-pass it! Start computer in safe mode, go to user accounts in control panel and open a new Administrator account, with all privileges. Add a new password or leave it blank if security is not an issue.

Well, that's kind of why it's there. If there is a "forgot your password" option you could find out the hint and it'll tell you the password.
