Ok, I am assuming that you have xp.Boot to safemode.Most computers it's F8 on your keyboard.Turn off the computer then turn it on and keep tapping until you see the safemode screen.Now you can log back into the computer and go to the control pannel and remove the password off your account.Reboot the computer and go back to your account.Or try calling Dell for tech support.

try 'admin' or 'administrator'

that is a common default password for admin accounts.
