    Hi there..
    I'm a new member here, so bear with me if the question sounds stupid. I'm more of a graphics guy....

    I had heard of a very computer illiterate relative was coming over to visit my godfather so I quickly took measures that she was not going to use his computer. The first 2 times on an older PC she totally ruined. You think my godfather would've learned his lesson...
    Moving along, I put in a password to make sure she wouldnt be able to log on to windowsxp. Now she's gone back home and I would like to have the Computer Administrator account removed of its password.

    How can I go about doing so?

    Go to user accounts. Find Administrator. Backspace out the password and save.

    Course you should log in as Administrator using the password.

    Welcome to the BBS!
