Answer 1

You need to change your password under the admin account.

When you turn on the computer press F8 right after the Bios test screen. Log on under Administrator and then go to user accounts and change your password.

Good Luck!

The program mentioned Active Password Changer, is free and found here http://www.soft3k.com/Active-Password-Changer-p316.htm
