Are there some foolproof ways of resetting Windows XP passwords?

Are there some foolproof ways of resetting Windows XP passwords?

I have tried a few of the tools out there, and although they work okay
with Windows 2000, they appear to find Windows XP difficult.

Any real contenders?

The best method is still to plan ahead and create two admin
accounts so that you can reset any Windows password from
within Windows.

Of course, using built-in tools the the the Administrator can change any
and all passwords on any or all accounts.

I really mean when the admin password itself is lost and there is no
way of logging onto the computer.

Sorry

I gave you the link for a tool that works on WinXP, and both
John and I suggested a method to avoid such mishaps in future.
