Go here and make yourself a boot disk to reset your password:

I have tried inputing an empty password during the time of installation and I cannot logon anymore.  Why is that I still need a password?  I have aleady inputed a blank one!  Apart from the solution above, is that any simplier way of doing this?
Did you read the comments carefully during the password resetting? An empty passowrd does not change the existing password. Use a non-empty password! How do you want to have it even simpler? Its already simple enough, for an operating system which suggests to be SECURE...
If you are connected to a domain then your job is simple.
Go to any server machine in the network. at the command prompt give
c:\mmc
now add new snapins. select computer manangement and give other computer(your system name).
The system will open your computer properties. go to system tools. go to local users and computers. select users. and select the administrative user. right click and reset your user password. Then you can relogoin on your machine.
goodluck
