The password is encrypted so you can't get to it that way.
If you have another user account with administrative privileges, you can
log into that account and change your original user account's password
from the User Accounts applet in Control Panel. To change the built-in
Administrator account's password, from within a user account with
administrative privileges do:
Start>Run>control userpasswords2 [enter]
You'll see where you can change the Administrator password.
