Isn't the name under the picture icon when you reboot Windows 7??? Just click the icon and type the password??? I must be missing something here.

Ok, then the simplest way is to boot in to recovery mode and look in the Users directory for the name.

OR

Boot off a CD that will give you access to the Windows 7 drive and look up the name. You can use any of the Live Linux CDs, WinPE, BartPE, or the windows recovery CD. -WS
