Hi Eva,
Boot tapping the F8 key as the BIOS information goes by. At the
Windows Advanced Options menu select Safe Mode. On the welcome screen
select Administrator. This is the hidden Administrator account and
assuming a password was never assigned to it click enter. From there
go to Start - Run and type
control userpasswords2
then you can select any user account and Reset Passwords.

Sound advice from Bert. Once you get back into Windows I would sugest you
make a password reset diskette.
