default admin account

[BigAngry15]

Does anyone know what the default administrator account password is also what is the user name?

Um...
The administrator user name is... Administrator
The password is whatever you told it to be during installation of XP.
If you didn't install XP and don't know what the password is, go here:

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

It's a linux based floppy that can reset passwords.

I would be extremely careful about using this program to reset your Administrator password !!!

Do you REALLY need to do this? If the answer is "not really" then I would suggest that you don't.

Playing around with the "sam" password file can seriously damage your system. A total reload of XP may be necessary if it goes wrong.

Use the ID of: ADMINISTRATOR
and do not enter a password, (leave it blank).

Might get you there.....

Good Luck *Remember.......
If you don't use your head,
your going to have to use your feet.
