[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1323553, member: 56379"] No one (as far as I know) said ANY computer is "hassle free"!!! Many times it's the users that make things complicated as well...as in "user error"!;) Admin passwords just don't make themselves up out of thin air!;) Is this a brand new computer...or one that is "new" to you? If it's a "new to you" computer...the previous owner may have set up an admin password. Have you tried entering no password (leave it blank)? HTH, :) - Nick [/QUOTE]
