Restart the system, at the boot option screen where it likely says "Previous
Version" or "Windows Vista", press F8 and select "Safe Mode". Otherwise after
your computer goes through the BIOS screen continually press F8 and pick
"Safe Mode" it takes a while, you can log into the Administrator account by
clicking the icon. No password most likely, press enter if it asks though,
once logged in goto "Control Panel" then "User Accounts" and "Change
Password" I recommend so you can actually HAVE a password on this account.
The "User Accounts" screen can help you create new accounts as well, since
this is an admin account you can create other accounts with admin
priveledges. For everyday use and everything that doesn't involve
installing/uninstalling programs and system changes I recommend using a
"Standard User" account, and maybe enabling the "Guest" account which is
restricted to really basic tasks but still has web browsing and stuff and
someone could use it without you having to give them the password to YOUR
account which would also mean YOUR documents..."Guest" is nice for GUESTS!
