Admin Password is the password that you enter while installing Windows. Do you remember it?
Can you boot in SAFE mode? Press F8 just before Windows starts, and select Safe Mode.

hey... i cannot boot even in safe mode.....

You can use Knoppix to take a backup of your data. It is a live GNU/Linux distro. Just boot from the CD. No need to install anything.

After the backup, you can then go ahead and format the hard disk and go for a clean install of Windows.

But after everything is up and running in Windows, don't forget how a Linux distro helped you when Windows crashed

THATS TRUE. And Microsoft says its illigal.

Hey you do have admin account and since you have created only one account that means your admin account is not altered S0 admin login is
"Administrator" without double quotes
and password is
"" without double quotes
yes nothing since you have not created not altered

Hey Mario..........

You can do this..............

Install XP in another Drive...........

When your computer is up and running, delete the Windows and program files folder from old drive.......

This should certainly help..........

What is illegal in this? Is taking backup of data illegal? :roll: Please explain and provide source if possible.

You should always have a copy of your winxp partition using norton ghost.

No, taking backups is not illegal.
Microsoft has recently stated that Linux violates many patents and Linux in itself is illegal.
