Have you tried entering no password? What other accounts besides the Administrator are on that computer?

Are you trying to log into the Administrator account or another user account?

I think you have to set a password for the Administrator account when you install XP SP2, so if you didn't install Windows on this computer/turn it on for the first time from the factory, you will probably have to seek out who did to determine what the password is.
