[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1695240, member: 56379"] I'm sorry for being so blunt…but of course they or someone else put an admin password or some other password on the computer. Passwords don't simply manifest all by themselves. And the problem with passwords is (as we all know)…if the creator does not remember what the password is…it's very difficult to help someone in this situation. There's nothing more frustrating when trying to help someone with a computer issue…than a computer user who cannot remember userid's and passwords when you're trying to help them. They just give you that blank look…and then swear they didn't do it. Believe me…I like helping folks with their computing issues. But no matter how knowledgeable a computer person is…we cannot get around unknown userids & passwords created by a user. If this password is a big stumbling block to getting things in order. A complete wipe/erase, reformat, and reinstall of the OS may be necessary (with no passwords).;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
