  1. Admin password is not Administrator password


    Can’t find much online. basically a machine was given to me for a project and I was made an administrator with ‘full’ control. There are other admin accounts on the computer. I need to boot from an USB and when asked for the admin password I enter it and it says it’s invalid. Could an organization wide setting lock me out at this stage?
