How to open System Properties?

I want to allocate more disk space for checkpoints. I do not want any
existing checkpoints deleted. I do not have Administrative
privileges. Microsoft Help says the first step is to open "System
Properties." How can I open System Properties?

You need to have administrative privileges to allocate more disk space. You
can open System Properties by right clicking on My Computer and selecting
Properties.

I am the sole user of this PC, yet Windows will not accept the
administrative password assigned to it in 2006.

Did you password protect the built-in Administrator account?

Yes, but I know the password. It's my guess malicious software or
other corrupt issue has changed it. I dread the thought of a clean
install.

I've never tried it but according to some sites, you can reset the password
during a repair install by pressing Shift+F10 when the Installing Devices
progress bar is displayed after the first reboot, then typing nusrmgr.cpl
(or control userpasswords2) to get access to User Accounts.
