Default WINDOWS LOGON PASSWORD HELP

I was working with my hp pavilion laptop today and shuts
it down early on. But later when I turned it on, it was
asking for a user password all of a sudden. I do not
recall setting up a password to log on to windows. Now, I
cannot log on at all. Is there a way to solve this?
maybe entering admin setup???

Thanks for anyone's help.

Hi Joel,

If you haven't set a password up for your account, when it asks for it try
to just press enter and see if it will unlock for you.
