I changed the password for the Administrator account..., now the Administrator account seems to missing. It does not appear on the "login/Welcome" screen, or in the User Accounts. Using the "Guest" account, if I open User Accounts, and then select "change a password," the Administrator account appears, but will not allow me to actually change the password. I'm sure that is because I am only able to use the "Guest account," and I do not have access to change any password for any other account. I suspect it still exists, but I don't know how to get the account to appear after the Welcome screen. Any ideas? As for my background, I was once a systems analyst/developer (using Oracle). I'm no expert with Microsoft Windows. I'm not sure I should even be posting anything here. I apologize in advance, if that is the case. jeff
