Ok so here is the problem.
My brother-in-law bought a brand new laptop about 5-6 months ago and he had intended to use it for his work. He ended up not using it at all so me heading away to college and needing a laptop, he gave it to me.
He told me all of the passwords were one letter, and they were all the same. But it still wont let me do anything because it claims I am not the “administrator”.
So i looked up some possible solutions and I found that in this situation to restart the computer in safe mode, and make the computer as the administrator, but the only problem is when I tried that, it required a password and it wasn’t the password or user name he told me. He said he had no idea and didn’t know what to tell me.
So I have no clue, and it won’t let me install even basic things such as the new Internet Explorer or update the new I-Tunes for my I-pod.
It has Windows Xp on it, and it is Windows Vista capable but he told me he didn’t have any of the disks or anything that came with the computer. So even if I was to re-install windows, which personally I dont know if I could do, I would be afraid of ruining the computer if i didn’t do it right, but i still don’t have the disks to do this.
If there is anything I can do, or anything anyone could help me with I would GREATLY appreciate it.
AND- I have tried to leave the password field blank, and it didn’t work.
Thank You
