Hi

If you haven't tried that already, you could try to log on with the
original Administrator user and see if a blank password lets you in:

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local
Administrator password with one of the methods mentioned here:

Thank you very much. I used a password reset tool that was in your second
link and it worked great. Again....Thank You.
