boot from xp cd, do the f8 agreement, press esc to not repair windows, delete the partition, create the partition then either do full format or quick format. once that is done, xp will continue to install til it is finished.

Say Hey!!
If all you did was forget the password use "Ophcrack" That's a freeware utility to recover passwords. If you still want to zero the HDD use "Dban" to do so. A Google search will find both.
