you dont need the administrator password for a system restore, simply boot of the restore CD.. Google Windows XP password reset DISC and download and boot that disc to reset the password. I cant post a specific software here as it may be considered soliciting..

LOL, why in the world would you buy an All-In-One desktop? One thing breaks and you lose your whole system until it's fixed. And they do break.

You don't restore your computer just because you lose a wireless connection. Most times all you have to do to get the connection back is cycle the router by turning it off and one again. You're going to lose connection lots of times in the future due to power failures, thunder storms, etc. Just cycle the router.

I'm not sure what password it could be asking for, but since you did not set one, try just hitting enter without keying a password.
