It isn't asking for your account's password (even if that account is an administrator account). XP creates an account called Administrator by default and often hides it (certain install discs act differently). If you didn't set up a password for this account when you installed XP originally, the password should just be blank.

Try just hitting the enter key - you might not have entered in a password.
If you start getting desperate, and since you have physical access to the machine, there are ways to recover passwords - but it gets messy.
Is the machine totally dead? Are you installing a legit copy of WinXP?
