    Need to override past admin. p/w


    I have a Dell laptop that had windows 7 when purchased. I up graded to windows 10 with no problem, but my grandson made himself admin. and can't give me the right p/w to make changes, when needed. Any help would be appreciated. How do I get back to where I can do what I need to do.

    :)

    Uninstall problem


    Open the Admin Command Prompt:
    • diskpart
    • List disk
    • select disk # where # is the disk that contains hidden partitions
    • list par
    • select partition #
    • delete partition OVERRIDE
    • repeat steps 5 & 6 for the additional hidden partitions.
    • exit
    OR:
    if you want to clean the whole disk, after step 3 above
    Type: clean
    Type: exit

    Best thermal paste

    Most decent thermal paste is about all the same (1-2 degree difference). Without knowing the two listed, (I use MX-2), I would suggest going with the one that is non-conductive.
