here we go (http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/localsamcrack2) NOTE: Must be done on YOUR comp!

I can't understand you never had a password. Maybe I'm just a creepy paranoiac, but I think every comp should have a password. I live alone, I'm the only one using my comps(4), and they all have passwords.

As mentioned, this information should only be used on your own computer.

Can you boot into safemode? If so, you may have administrator access through safemode, and can access user management from there.

I agree with slytherock.. every computer should have a password. I recommend it to all my clients as well. Not only does it prevent people from accessing the computer physically, but it can deter people from breaking in through network connections (including internet). For most of them, just having a password is enough of a deterrent to make most hackers leave you alone.
