Administrator Account

[Guest]

I originally setup an Adminstrator account and a User account. The
Adminstrator account inadvertently got changed to a User account so now I
have two User accounts and no Adminstrator account. Whenever I try to add
new software or make a change to one of these User accounts, it asks me for
an Adminstrator password, which it will not let me type in. I think I need
an Administrator account but cannot set one up since I cannot type in the
Administrator password to get to that point. Any thoughts??

If all of the administrator accounts have been changed or deleted, you can
log on in Safe Mode and the Built-in Administrator account will be available
to use. This account does not have a password, by default.

Restart the computer and start tapping the F8 key until a black screen menu
appears. Use the Arrow Keys to select Safe Mode and press Enter. Select the
account called Administrator. After safe mode starts, go to Control
Panel/User Accounts and change the original account back to an administrator
account.

Reboot back to normal mode.
