Default re password for admin

You can give this a try:-
Windows Home XP
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 type " 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.
