N0 - really stuck now

No - it is standard procedure to replace the "administrator"'s (this has to be spelt correctly, common error adminstrator, administrater etc )password -

loads of tools out there to do this - has the PC a floppy drive ?

Im pretty sure that if you boot up in safe mode F8 and then log on as admin you dont need a password and from there you can remove other user account passwords.

account name is not "admin" in XP - unless it has been renamed - earlier post implies the OP has been asked to try that ...
