OK, I did this. Now the dialogue comes up with administrator in the username
box. It asks for a password. I don't know what it is. I tried administrator.
Didn't work. Now I can't even get into windows. Help.

I recommend you choose a password, but you don't have to. Go to start/run,
and type 'control userpasswords2' , Uncheck the password option, and follow
the wizard. This will log you on without asking for the password
