Hi there
He's not trying to recover a LOST password -- he's already deleted it.
His system won't allow him to create a new one - it needs a password which he has deleted.
There could be something in the (XP) registry that requires a password - if this is true then I'm afraid its too late at this stage to do anything with the XP system.
I think you'd be better off uninstalling XP mode completely and re-installing it again.
Failing that why not attempt to restore your HOST system back to an earlier point in time (before you erased the password). The XP mode should then have your old password in it. (So long as you also restore your VHD disk).
You DO take regular backups don't you.
Cheers
