User profile erased erroneously !!! How get data back ???

Hi,

my sister has deleted a user profile on her daughetr's laptop under XP (
using config panel -> users -> delete user "daughter-name"). Now that was the
only user on that pc except Windows own ones.
But !! no one knows pasword for user Administrator ! So cannot log onto pc
now.
Is there a default one that she could try ?

If no, how can she get back to that pc and gain access to the data ? As far
as I know these data are not encrypted in any way by windows, but are almost
surely stored in the c:\.....\daughter-name\.... folders.

Any help more than greatly appreciated ! I live in 250 km distance from her,
so can only tele-help, so concise and clear instructions needed since she is
absoluteley not computer litterate ( she only wanted to automatically log
onto the computer !!!)

TIA TIA for help !
