Help - administrator password

[ekud]

Hope someone can help. I am using XP home. I cannot log into the
administrator account. I can't remember the password. I must have set one
on the instal but...... Does anyone know a way around this?

Hi,

By default, the admin password is <blank> or empty unless you set one. If
you are getting an error message at the Recovery Console on a preinstalled
machine, please see this:

Cannot Log On to Recovery Console After Running Sysprep [Q308402]

If you genuinely cannot remember a password you set *and* did not create a
password reset disk *and* do not have another account with admin priviledges
where you can reset it, then please see this link:
