Original title: Shay Lost power for 4 days. Administrator password will not work for my children's desk top computers. how do reset administrator password so their can use some apps that require my OK?

Start the computer in Safe mode and log into the built-in account named Administrator . You'll have to know the password, if any, for that account. Once in, go to Control Panel > User Accounts and change the password for the regular administrator account.Boulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional
