I have a desk top and laptop both set up in a pretty similar way. On
hearing that a particular visitor was en-route to stay with us for a few
days - and knowing what he is like - I decided to enter an
Administrator's password for myself and separate one for my wife so we
could still do what we wanted but our visitor would not be able to use
either machine.
It appears that in my rush to protect ourselves I screwed up the entry
of my new Administrator's password in the laptop. So - my personal
settings etc. cannot be accessed. I can get in via my wife's p/w but the
desktop, bookmarks etc. are very different.
This situation must happen regularly when people pass away unexpectedly
etc. All sorts of cases could cause this situation .... including idiots
like me not being careful.
So - is there a way to overcome this and get back to my much
loved/sorely missed set up in the laptop? Any help appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tom W.
