Hi
Can any one help me with the following problem?
I have a Dell Desktop running XP Home, the machine came with windows loaded
which has been no problem until now I now need to access this account,
however . the Administrators password has apparently been set when windows
was installed and my attempts to get information from Dell as to what it is
has simply had me running around in circles. Is there any way I can find
this out fron the registry or any other files
Many thanks for any help
Fred Hurrell

It usually is blank until you create a password for it.

Fred;
Try leaving the password blank, otherwise:
