    Lost Admin password, how to reset


    I am defined as an administrator, but not THE administrator the username of THE administrator is ADMIN. I need to make a change that requires administrator priviliges and "Run as adminitrator" doesn't work. Is there a was to reset the password of ADMIN? I don't think I've ever actually logged in as ADMIN. It's been a couple years agao that installed Windows on this computer and I don't remember setting up the ADMIN account. It may have already been defined as part of the installation, which I did not do. Perhaps there is a default passwrod set up initially?TIA for you help.SweetTasha.

    :)
