Boot password, before Windows loads
OR
Login password, after Windows loads

If it is the Windows password, login as "Administrator" [without the quotes] and if you haven't set a password for this ID, it will be blank.

A friend of mine has the same problem. When windows start, you have to enter a password, but she forgot it. And there is no Administrator possibility. Please help?

If XP Home, the Administrator logon is not an option until you enter safe mode. If Pro then a Ctrl-Alt-Del will allow you to type in administrator. If Win 9X just select cancel and you are in.

1Start your computer.
2Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice when you see Windows XP logon screen.
3. When 'Log On to Windows' dialog box appears, type Administrator in the User name box.
4.Type the password in the password box, and then click 'OK'. Or you can directly click 'OK' if you do not set a password.
5.Click 'Start', 'Run', type 'control userpasswords2', click 'OK'.
6. On the Users tab, click the name of the user account that you want to reset the password for, and then click 'Reset Password'.
7.Set your new password and click 'OK' on the 'Reset Password' dialog box. And then click 'OK' on user tab.
8. Restart the computer, and then try to log on to Windows again.
Or you can use Windows Login recovery to achieve this.
