xp professional admin. password

I have forgotten my administrative password on xp pro. Does anyone know what my options are? Oh, by the way, of the 4 accounts, I was the only administrator. Thanks!!

Just a quick search found this:

This article describes how to log on to Windows XP if you forget your password or your password expires and you cannot create a new one.

Note: If you have not created a password reset disk, and you have also forgotten the password for all user accounts, you cannot log on to your existing Windows installation for security reasons. This information applies to starting Windows XP typically, to safe mode, and to Recovery Console. In this case, you must perform a "clean" installation of Windows XP, re-create all user accounts, and then reinstall all your programs
