I have a pc that a friend forgot the xp admin pass. Rather than format do I have another option to get in?

One i've used the most is the "offline nt/2k/Xp password changer"

Check it out because it has that program on it. Just a quick warning it will not read the pass but will wipe it and put a new one. This is bad if he used XP to encrypt any directories as they will not be recoverable if you change that users password.
 
Just restart the pc and hit f8 an admin acocunt will apprea from there go to control panel/user accounts and change his password or atleats make a password reset disk from there.
 
the discussion of crackers needs to end before it starts.

resetting the password is different. its done easily, but you lose all protected/encrypted information
