How can you find out your windows password?

[Lisa L from MI]

I would like to lock my computer....you know, "log off" me as a user.........I found where to change it...but it asks for your old password and I have no idea what that would be. The computer was built for me from someone that is no longer around.

Is there somewhere I can find the existing password???

Thanks
Lisa
