I must have given the "built in administrator account" a password, but I do
not remember doing so. There also is a password hint that makes no sense to
me.
So, my friends, where in the world is the password hidden away in this
system?
Thanks, BW

The password is encrypted so you can't get to it that way.

If you have another user account with administrative privileges, you can
log into that account and change your original user account's password
from the User Accounts applet in Control Panel. To change the built-in
Administrator account's password, from within a user account with
administrative privileges do:

Start>Run>control userpasswords2 [enter]

You'll see where you can change the Administrator password.
