You may want to make sure that there were logging on as Admin and not as a user. Check the sign on the see if a user name shows up for the log on. Make sure your caps lock key is not on as passwords are case sensitive..
If all else fails...reloading the software is the easiest method.

Hi. Roger R has the right idea. If you have install CDs then reinstall the OS for the simplest solution. You can ASK for the passwords again but I suspect they will just shrug their shoulders.

go back to where you purchased them or be prepared to load a new OS onto them.
