Retrieve Admin Password.
When I loaded Windows XP Pro on the PC last year I don't remember entering an admin password. I usually just tab through the password. Is there any way to retrieve the password?
I'm using a software that needs to run as administrator and won't work otherwise. The software is PC Tune-Up that comes with ZoneAlarm Extreme Security.

if you don't remember entering one, it might be blank. right click on the program, go to run as and type in administrator with no password

We can't discuss password recovery here as per rule 9.
Advice? Don't bother trying to run PC Tuneup. |

I have not read the rules in a very long time, but I have read them now as a refresher. Thanks.
