One of my friend forgot his  Windows XP password weeks ago. Then he was told to reset the password with reinstalling the Windows OS. He did this and then he reset the forgotten xp password.
Though I do not think it is a good way and reset the fogotten Windows XP password, sometimes we still need to reinstall the OS for Windows password recovery issue. Then, here I would like to share with how to reinstall the Windows xp?This pretty basic tutorial will show you the way to install a fresh copy of windows OS on your PC.
First, open your disc tray and put in your windows install disc
Then, reboot your computer with the disc in and you will see a message that looks something like this: Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.
Then, when windows finishes copying files,  saying  something like “Disc one – (#)Megabytes”
Then, delete the used partition. To do so, hit the D key and accept the warning message(s). You will now have Unpartitioned Space.
After that, install Windows to the unpartitioned space. You should see what key to press on the screen.
