Windows password recovery?

Question

I just installed a new hard drive on my computer. Upon re-installing Windows 7, before it starts for the first time, Windows prompts me to log into the account I just created, with a password. The problem is, I didn't set any password to the account, and so I can't log into windows. I've tried "admin", "password", and several others, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Unlucky, if it's the admin account, unless you are psychic, there isn't much chance of you getting in with out hiring a specialist.
