There is no default password.
Try leaving the password blank.

Brian;
Then a password must have been set during setup.
Could you have typed something it was not a password?
Perhaps another user?

Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.

s log

My daughter was able to log on without knowing my
password by first crtl, alt, del and then when the next
screen came up she typed administrator in the user name
and the word password in the password space and it let
her in. I wanted to know how I could prevent this from
happening. But it might work for you.

Follow the same procedure that she used.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select Administrator.
Select the option to change password.
Take precautions to not lose the password.

.Jupiter, That would work, but my password is not

password. I've changed it a few times because I suspected
she was getting on some how. All she has to do is type
administrator and password and she's in.
