To cut a long story short, we have always used our PC without a password with a single user administrator password. Well I say password we just press enter as there isnt one set.
We have created a few user accounts now and they are password protected. They all work fine apart from the administrator account which will not accept the password.
Is there anyway around this- theres a lot of stuff on the desktop in that account which cannot be accessed from the user accounts, is there anything that can be done other than having to reinstall windows to get administrator privileges again?
I should also point out that this is the ONLY account which has administrator privileges
