| 277478 | 2004-10-02 06:04:00 | thanx for the links Terry, but my problem is that if i log on as "Administrator" it won't accept whatever password i try and use, including a blank one. to be able to create a new account i need admin priv's...which i cannnot access. |

| 277479 | 2004-10-02 06:12:00 | Your only option left is to reset the password I've used this in the past with 100% success home.eunet.no |

| 277480 | 2004-10-02 06:23:00 | Well you need to go into User Accounts and see what is there, as by default in Home Edition user account have administrative rights. As far as I can see you need to be logged to a user account, not as Administrator as such. Here's more to read :) at Symantec (service1.symantec.com) www.microsoft.com |

| 277486 | 2004-10-02 07:43:00 | Look at item 13 (snakefoot.fateback.com) and have a cruise around the install/repair section for resetting admins and users. Cheers Murray P |

| 277487 | 2004-10-02 07:55:00 | I wonder if it will work while logged on as guest I don't have a home edition machine here at the moment to try it out on. If it does work while logged on as guest it would certainly be an easier way to fix the problem of the Administrator password |
