1. Log-on using Administrator as user with blank pw. This works 90% of the time. But some people put pw's on the administrator account, so you have to use other means.
2. Reset the administrator pw to blank. This is done by using a bootable media (floppy, CD, or flash disk). Examples:
a) EBCD (Emergency Boot CD). 18MB available at http://www.simtel.net/product.download.mirrors.php?id=80024. Read more details at http://ebcd.pcministry.com/
b) There's a small Linux boot disk small enough to fit in a floppy and which resets the administrator pw to blank. Still looking for the site.
c) Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (v080526 - May 2008) written by Petter Nordahl-Hagen, available at http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bd080526.zip (less than 1.4 MB for floppy boot disk), and at http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/cd080526.zip (around 3MB for mini-CD boot disk).
