Built-In Administrator Account
I have a couple of questions regarding the Built-In Administrator Account
First some info.
1. I purchased my computer in January 2011
2. I am the sole user of the computer
3. I have set up two accounts with Administrator privileges. Each one has its own unique name and unique password.
4. The Account Control settings are set to the maximum level of security.
5. The Built-In Administrator Account is currently not enabled; i.e it is "Inactive"
6. Password last set was in July 2009.
7. I have the Windows installation disks that came with the computer.
8. I am using Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium
9. I have been able to locate and read several tutorials on the Built-In Administrator account including those on how to enable it and how to change the user name but I have not been able to locate a tutorial on how to change the password.
What I would like to do
1. I would like to change the password on the Built-In Administrator Account
Questions:
1. Is there a tutorial that will tell me how to do this with Windows Home Premium?
2. Do I firstly have to enable the Built-In Administrator at the command prompt and reboot before I can change the Built-In Administrator Account password?
3. After enabling the Built-In Administrator Account will it show up among the user list when I go to log into Windows?
4. How do I gain access to the Built-In Administrator Account once it is enabled if it has a password that was set 18 months before I purchased the computer and don't know what the password is?
5. After enabling the Built-In Administrator Account do I just log in as to my regular Administrator account go to User Accounts---Manage Another Account and change the password to the Built-In Administrator Account even though I don't know what the original password is?
6. Or do I have to log into the Built-In Administrator Account in order to change its password?
7. How would I log into the Built-In Administrator Account if I don't know the password?
Thanks
