Forgot Window XP Home password UBCD v.3.4, what's next?

Forgot Window XP Home password. Using UBCD v.3.4. I've tried [F3], filesystem Tools. Then a right arrow to go to page 2/2. Then I used [F6] Offline NT Password & Registry Editor 050303. The screen then prompted the messsage:


_______________________________________________________
There are several steps to go through:
-Disk select with optional loading of disk drivers
-PATH ELECT, WHERE THE wINDOWS SYSTEMS FILES STORED
-fILE-SELECT, WHAT PARTS OF REGISTRY WE NEED
-Then finally the password change or registry edit itself
-If changes were made, write them back to disk

DON'T PANIC! Usually the defaults are OK, just press enter all the through through the questions

SEP ONE: Select disk where the Windows installation is
Disks:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc NT partitions found:
1: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 38146MB Boot found


Please select partition by nuymber or
a = show all partitions, d = automatically load new disk drivers
m = manually load new disk drivers
l= relist NTSF/FAT partitions, q = quit
Select: [1] _

What should I type in next after the prompt that follows Select: [1]?

Generally in that program, the default is automatically selected when you hit Enter. You'll have to hit Enter a few times until it displays the list of users. From there select your account and use the * option to blank the password. If I recall it then asks you to save back your changes and then quit.
