OEM Windows XP installation

How can you acquire the password for the administrator
for Windows XP Pro when the PC was pre-installed with it?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Greetings --

Unless you had the good sense to have deliberately set the
Administrator's password via the Management Console (_not_ the Control
Panel), it's probably still blank. Failing that, ask the PC's
manufacturer if they assign a default password to the account during
installation.
