[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 419581, member: 16173"] As a favour I looked at someone's Windows 7 Professional SP1 pc.....wished I hadn't! The problem was they had two user accounts; "Jane" without admin rights and "Administrator" but no password for it. She wants to install new programs which she can't under "Jane". When it booted up originally there was the user options of "Jane" or "Administrator". So I booted up from an Ubuntu 12.04LTS live disc and installed [B]chntpw[/B] under the live environment. I thought I had removed the admin password. BUT.....on booting up Windows now only "Jane" exists. There's no sign of "Administrator" anywhere, not even in Safe Mode! Somehow I've 'effed it up! Any thoughts? Cheers [/QUOTE]
