Administrator) in Windows.
The default password for this hidden account is normally blank (none).
For XP Home users:
Boot the computer into Safe Mode
Do this by pressing the F8 key (several times) after the Power On Self Test
is finished, until the Start menu appears.
This will get you to the correct menu window.
Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account
and any other accounts.
(Note: Accounts are displayed alphabetically).
Use the Up/down arrow keys to highlight the 'Administrator' account.
The default password is a blank (no password required).
For XP Pro users:
You do not need to go into Safe Mode.
At the Welcome Screen, do/press the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys twice to display the
Windows logon box.
Type in "Administrator" (without the quotes), by default the password is
blank, no password need be entered.
Once your in, then:
Click Start/Run/and type in: Control Userpasswords2 and then press OK
Click the 'Add' button to create a personal account for your own use.
Note:
You can also click on the 'Advanced' tab and then click Manage Passwords,
if you really do have a password issue with an account you created during
the
XP install process.
