There is no default password.
Try leaving the password blank.

Brian;
Then a password must have been set during setup.
Could you have typed something it was not a password?
Perhaps another user?

Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.

>>Brian, I had a question that relates to your question.
My daughter was able to log on without knowing my
password by first crtl, alt, del and then when the next
screen came up she typed administrator in the user name
and the word password in the password space and it let
her in. I wanted to know how I could prevent this from
happening. But it might work for you.

Cathy;
Follow the same procedure that she used.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select Administrator.
Select the option to change password.
Take precautions to not lose the password.

>.Jupiter, That would work, but my password is not
password. I've changed it a few times because I suspected
she was getting on some how. All she has to do is type
administrator and password and she's in.

Cathy;
Login to Administrator exactly the same way she does.
At that point you are logged in as Administrator.
Then you can go to User Accounts and change the Administrator
password.
