[QUOTE="aquaregia, post: 1493496, member: 293199"] [b]Locked out of Admin Account because set Parental Controls[/b] You can DEFINITELY be locked out because of setting parental controls. I thought I was setting them for my son's account. When I clicked them on, the box by 'Allow user to administer this computer' was unchecked. It didn't ask if this was what I wanted to do at all! This is an incredibly poor design flaw... So now I can not get into my preferences or do anything that requires a password. Lovely. So there is nothing to do but reinstall and lose what hasn't been backed up? No other options? [/QUOTE]
