1) What is the default Administrator password?
default is nothing unless they change it on install
At the welcome screen press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice it will give you a Win2k login screen. in the username type Administrator and click ok. If she didn't change it you will be logged into the Admin Account and can give yourself admin privileges. I suggest also adding a password on that account so no one else can change it.

2) Is there a way that I can get rid of the restrictions
not without admin access, it may be Windows but they did some things right

3)or is there away to still be limited but be able to install programs.
only if the installer doesn't check to make sure you are an admin or if you install the files to My Documents instead of Program Files.
