If you didn't set any password then you simply need to press the [enter] 
key when promted to enter the password.

By default, the first account created on any XP, Vista, Windows 7, 
Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10 is always an Administrator user. Password i 
normally optional but most people create one anyway.  I always do.  
However, if there is no password then try pressing the enter key.

Hope this helps.
