If there is a password on the admin account then you, you'll have to format or hack the password. Otherwise, just log in as admin and make the changes yourself.

Try PC Logon it is a open source software (SW) that will let u change/reset passwords. Follow the link below:

This SW has saved me a few times.

Does anybody know what would happen if you used the WinXP repair CD and deleted C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM (the password file)?

SAM is not a password file - it is a registry hive. DO NOT DELETE REGISTRY HIVES.
