Removing Password from Administrator Account

I'm having the same problem but it's on my OWN computer. I AM the
administrator but it won't let me log in as administrator. Fortunately, I'd
set up a no password necessary account so I could still log in, but I need to
fix the issue. I type in my password, get error message "did you forget..."
and it won't let me in. I know I have the right password, how do I fix this

My brother just gave my Mom an old machine running Windows XP Professional. My brother had given his account a password. My mother doesn't need a password. It is hard enough to get her to use the machine in the first place! Is there any way to remove the password from the administrator's account so my mom doesn't have to enter it? Thanks Kent

Step one: Open the "Control Panel"

Step two: Click the "User Account "

Step three: Select the account you wanna to delete the password.
