If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
You set an Administrator password when you first installed the computer. You have 3 choices:
1) Remember it
2) Reinstall
3) Boot to Linux, copy over the registry SAMS file, create new LM- and NTHashes, save it, and reboot.
For #3 you can also remove the obfuscated 0100 0000 in front of each entry and xor the two hashes together. Then, run an RC4 brute forcer on the result. Voila.
#1 or #2 are easier.
