Solved Win7 setup Admin Password?

[agunslinger]

When isntalling Win 7 after a few screens it asks for a "Setup Password for Account" but I THINK thats just for the user account isnt it? XP install used to specify this was specifically an administrator password. Isnt that one on the Windows 7 install end-target user password? Thanks.

Hello.



That will be the default user "System Admin." if this is what you are asking, there is another ADMINISTRATOR acct but it is recommended not to enable that acct for every-day use, it does away with all the Windows built-in safeguards.

Yes, I guess that is what Im asking. Thanks. Just wanted to be sure. XP phreased it as "Set up Administrator Password" while Windows 7 just says "Setup password for your account".

Glad I could help; it is a really good idea to use a P/W on all accts as it helps security.
