Password in safemode?

We want to run spybot in safemode, but it keeps asking for an administrator password that was never set.

We logged into Windows XP Pro (not safemode) and created a password on the named account (not admin, there was no admin, just my son's account and his wife's account - assuming my son WAS the admin) to no avail. it wont take that password.

what do we do
Windows obviously thinks there's an admin password

thank you

:confused

 

Did you try leaving the password blank for the Administrator account and just hitting <enter>?

 

yes
we also tried password, admin, and various others
