Many users forget to put an Admin password on XP. If you boot into safe mode you can access the Admin login -- there you can change/remove any "user" passwords.
While you are at it -- ADD an ADMIN password and write it down. Then create one for your login as well.
If you are going to loan your machine, create a user login for that person that you can delete afterward, and make sure it only has "user", not "admin" rights.
