I am the network administrator at a small non-profit and
we recently inherited a new Dell Deskop with XP
Professional through a merger. I changed the
Administrator to a new user account and rebooted, and it
now prompts for a password. The previous owner insists
she never had a password? Any way to get that password or
recreate an admin account? Any help is appreciated. Thank
you!

No you cannot recreate the main Admin user without a clean reinstallation
(TTBOMK). If she says there isn't a password, maybe there isn't one - have
you tried simply hitting [ENTER]?
