Yes, no, maybe.
So, the REAL question is:
"How do I reset the Admin Password in XP?".
Try the Ultimate Boot CD free from:
TIP: Try the free Ubuntu Linux instead. I have it running on an old PIII and it's amazing!!! No anti virus and spy ware needed.

You can re-install with ANY operation system you want. Windows, linux, etc.. but you will need installation disks regardless of which one you pick.
Restoration, re-installation or original Operating System disks will do the trick.
You can download linux for free off the internet.

You need the Windows XP CD to reformat, since you will have to reinstall the OS afterwards. If you want to format without the XP CD (you will eventually need it), you can google GParted.
