It is important that you determine if the file system is encrypted. The easiest way to do that is using a Linux live DVD, here is 10.2's http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/iso/dvd/openSUSE-10.2-GM-LiveDVD.iso and look through the file system usually auto-mounted on the desktop as "C" or "Windows",you should be able to find "c:/inetpub/wwwroot" if not it could be encrypted or in a non-default location, my guess its not because anyone using XP Pro to set up a web page is smart enough to be dangerous but.... Anyway at http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ is an ISO containing a tool set to change the "administrator" password.
