Without the XP disc you're not going to get very far. Did you buy it off the shelf and if so, did it come with a recovery disc? The files you need to reset it should be on that.
Failing that, start it in safe mode again and select the option with network support if it's there and go online and upgrade it to Windows 7. |

Adding to the above, have a look on your tower and see if you have a product key sticker attached (usually a green/blue colour). If you do you can borrow someones XP CD to reinstall windows (As long as its the same version of XP e.g XP Home edition etc)
Windows XP has a feature called the recovery console so you can use this to 'repair' XP if you can get your hands on a XP CD. The following link gives more info
