Lost Password..Can't install CD

Optiplex 270 slim case. Lost WINDOWS XP password so can't reinstall. If I get a new hard drive, how do I install Windows? Any suggestions ?
Thank you

Do you have a GX270 or a SX270?

read article but can't get into windows in any way. if I could get the computer to see the external CD it would be no problem but the SX260 bios setup only allows for network or C: drive.
I'm going to try to get a serial device that may allow me to get the cd to be seen.
I thank you anyway.
