Control Panel->User Accounts
You do not state what version of XP you are using. If it is XP Pro then
whom ever setup the machine will have had to enter an Administrators
password, if it is XP Home then the Administrators account is only
accessable when in Safe Mode and does not have a password set ynless
somebody has set one (ie the default is a blank password).
