The tales of my travaisl are long and sorrowful…

BAdically, MY computer belched out a cloud of sulfur and brinstone, so
i am forced to use my son's computer.
Before he left for Kuwait, he set me up as a user on his computer.
Only problem is that I can't print, dpwnload pictures, or log on at work.

The problem is that I need "Administrator Privileges".
If I try to log on as Jack, I need his password. He has no idea what it is.

How do I do that?
There are two choices, "JAck" and "John".

Micman Supporting Member of TMP11 Mar 2013 8:20 p.m. PST

select JAck and leave the password blank.

What about using a password retriever program?

try one of these. Usually, these tools will set the password to blank or one you select but will not actually recover a password.
