I just restarted my computer, and when the logon screen
for XP came up, it asked me for an Admin password. I tried
blank, i tried "password" I tried "administrator" None of
it works. What can I do?

You have a few options. You can load in a Linux Boot disk and when it ask
you to change the password you can change it there, then restart into
windows.

You can buy a program called ERD Commander for around 200.00 that has a
program called lock-smith that will let you change your admin password with
no problems.

Finally you can format the computer and the mbr and reload everything and
this time pay attention to what you put in for your admin password.
