i am the administrater fro the computer and i forgot my
password. I was wondering is there anything i can do to
delete the password, ,or find out what it is?
 
Emily,

Assuming there is another account on the system with
admin rights this will work. Otherwise, I don't know what
to tell you.

Log into the user account(with admin rights) and open a
command prompt window. Type

net user administrator *

(If you renamed the administrator account use the new
name in place of administrator above.)

It should ask you for a new password. Type in whatever
password you want. Hit Enter and it should ask for
confirmation of password. Re-enter the same password one
more time and hit Enter. The password should be changed.
Now you can log in as Admin with the new password.
