    So would this not be a legitimate reason for using password cracking software to crack your own password?

    Did you try logging in as the administrator? By default resetting the password should't remove the rights of the core account.

    There were two accounts on it and i reset both of them,cannot install/uninstall under either,which one would be considered the admin account?Neither of the two accounts mention administrator they are just two usernames...

    That sounds strange , but you can rename Administrator to anything you want but it's still the admin account and you can do all the admin stuff with it

    If it's XP home then you should be able to logon as administrator in safe mode by doing something like shift-ctrl-alt-del
