Need to set up admin account?
My friend's accountant for some reason turned off password access to the administrator's account, duh?! Is there a back door log in for administrator. I still have the passwords and user, but I can't change the User accounts unless logged in as administrator and the User account set up as admin no longer prompts for a log in. It might've been turned off as Administrator. I won't know unless I can get in.
It's XP home, real base box, email and internet scabbed from leftovers, except the OS, I made her purchase, so it's legit.
I thought I had this issue before and I hit some key at windows boot screen and would prompt for admin log in.
I went over to set a up wireless router for her and found I couldn't install the software. Heck, t wouldn't let me upgrade FireFox! Geez!
Any ideas?
