Craig;
There is no default password.
If no password was set, try leaving password blank.
Are you sure no accounts are Administrators?
Go to User Accounts in Control Panel and look.
Otherwise reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password
blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the account type to Administrator.
