My husband passed away, and now I want this computer. Unfortunately, I don't remember the password. How can I get around this?

Which Windows version?

Do you know the e-mail address with which your husband was logged on to this PC (usually google account)? Then, when the password is queried for "forgot password?", you will get an email to this address.

Google account on Windows XP? 🤔

If at all, a Microsoft account, and that was not yet available for logging in under XP.
