Question changing user name and password on administrator account
Hi!

I never created an administrator account before I let my son take over my laptop, screw with the administrative accounts so I don't have one, and now I can't download software for my camera.

Now that I've been locked out of administrator accounts, how do I accomplish the installation and further more, how can I get my admin account back and thus regain control over my own machine?

Thank you!

We can't help you with this because we have no way to verify that you actually own this computer.

O.K., I figured that might be the case. I suppose I will talk to the manufacturer and see if I can get this cleared up. I am just in a little bit of a hurry is all. Thank you anyway!
