I have gone everywhere possible, and have had no luck to find alternative solutions. Do not have Administrator account on XP Home.1 person needs an answerI do too

In case of password loss, we could NOT help you to crack your password. I suggest to think more carefully and use both caps lock and without caps lock to type hint itself or something that you use.Also you migth created a password recovery disk that will use in case of password lost or forgotten during setup password see if you could find it.
