I've forgotten the admin password to my old XP computer. All it was used for was to burn cd's plus all my music was stored on there. Is there any way to unlock this laptop or did I lose everything?

Here are some solutions:
Safe Mode Access:
Restart your computer and repeatedly press the F8 key during startup to enter Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode, you can access the Administrator account (which often has no password by default) and reset or remove the existing password 1113. This method is particularly effective if you’re using a physical keyboard to navigate the system.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete Trick:
At the login screen, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice. This may prompt you to enter the administrator username and password. If the password is blank or you’re using the built-in Administrator account, this could grant access 110.
Built-in Administrator Account:
If you’re using Windows XP Home Edition, the Administrator account is typically hidden. Boot into Safe Mode (F8) and try logging in as Administrator without a password. If this fails, you may need to use third-party tools. In Safe Mode, you can also try "net user Administrator new_password" in CMD
If this fails, you can use Ophcrack, KonBoot, Lazesoft Recover My Password or Hirens BootCD
