    my daughter has an acer netbook running windows 7 starter, when i initially set it up for her i made it so that she would need the administrative password when ever she wanted to install anything, of course i only knew the password, well after not using the netbook for about 2 months ive forgotton the password and now the netbook can only be used under her account which is equivalent to a guest account, basically useless...is there anyway to override this? retrieve password? reset the o/s all together? i purchased the netbook as an open box item, so it came with no cd what so ever......

    I must draw your attention to the WindowsBBs Posting Rules, specifically....
    Your first recourse is to contact Acer and see if they can supply the Recovery CD which would normally have accompanied the netbook.

    Windows Starter is not available for purchase - only pre-installed.
