even remember putting one in. I reformettd a month or so, ago.
I really appreciate the help

If you didn't make one try leaving it blank.

If you are using XP Pro and have forgotten the password you set then go
to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ and download the boot
disk, this will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system.

If you are using XP Home then the Administrator password is blank by
default, if you did set a password on this then use the above utility
to reset it.

OK, try this:

Go into the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Users
& Groups, Users, Right Click the Administrator, then set password. Hope
that helps some.. Peace!
