1. As windows is loading up press F8 repeatedly until the Windows
advanced
screen comes up.
2. Select safe mode (the version of windows you want to use click XP
wait until
it loads the welcome screen.
3. Select Administrator and it will log you on as administrator
without a
password (provided a password was not created in this hidden account
during
setup).
4. Go to Start - Control Panel - User Accounts.
5. Select your name and click change the password.
Then you should be able to change the password, shut down the
computer and
restart in normal mode and use the new password you just created.

If you have XP Pro on your computer:-
1. At the log in screen " ctrl-alt-delete " twice.
2. In the User Account, type Administrator
3. Leave the password blank and press enter.
(Most likely a password wasn't created in this hidden account during
setup).

If you decide to set a password it is recommended that you create a
Password
Reset Disk by clicking on "Prevent a Forgotten Password" link in the
left pane.
The Wizard will guide you through.
