   Try "administrator" then empty password. If not, guess you need to reset the password like someone suggest.

   Try this first:
   Boot computer and press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice when you see windows login screen. It’ll show classic login box. Now type "administrator" (without quotes) in username field and leave password field blank, press Enter and you should be able to login Windows. Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".

   If the method above doesn’t work, try to use windows password recovery tool:
   1. Download windows password recovery 6.0 from google and install it.
   2. Burn a windows password recovery disk with the software.
   3. Boot the locked computer from the created disk and recover your forgotten password.

   If safe mode doesn’t work, you can reset the password using a free Linux live CD.

   Login with the default administrator account

   Step 1: Start Windows PC
   Step 2: When you can see the Windows login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it’ll show Classic Login box
   Step 3: Type Administrator as Username and leave the Password field blank
   Step 4: Press the Enter Key and then you can be able to login the default windows administrator account which is it created by default when install windows.

   Note: When you input the key combination Please don’t put the cursor on any account. And if you change the name or password before, you cannot login by this way.

   Or try Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 to remove any admin password in one seconds!
