Meant to say, you don't need to log in as admin to do this, just delete the password.

not the normal safe mode log in...this is a slightly different method using the F8 in safe mode (which he got in to in his 9.21 post)

Ignoring the fact that the list you made simply doesn't make sense (asking the user to select the operating system before they even get to the safe mode list), you're still asking him to login to the admin account in safe mode. Which he said he can't do because the default account isn't enabled.

This happened to me a while ago..Simple way to do it is to boot up in safe mode..Open the control panel...go to 'user accounts'...then delete the password from the admin account!!This defp works as we've done it on 2 laptops since..good luck. this does not work, as it does not bring up admin account, just 2 users both passworded
