Why not ask the admin?
I am not trying to be an idiot. Seriously ask the admin.

The default user set up in WinXP is always set up as an administrator, and unless a password was explicitly set during setup, there won't be one. If you go into Control Panel | User Accounts, you should be able to see the entire list of accounts and their respective permissions.
Summary: Ok...I admit that this is a very "beginner" type of question....but...for the life of me, I can't remember how to do this... I have installed XP Pro on my laptop and when I go the my friend's company ...
