I am not sure if there are any other solutions, but the most direct one is to create a user on the laptop with the same user-name and password and the same access level (administrator/regular-user), as on the desktop computer. Then login as that user on the laptop and the files should be accessable. Also, with an administrator account on the laptop, you may be able to "Take Ownership" of the files on the external drive. If the files are encrypted and you don't have the password, this won't help. I don't know the effect if the two computers have different versions of Windows, a lot could depend on this. Kevin

What is the purpose of the administrator password?

The computer needs at least one account with full privileges in order to allow the installation of software. By default, the computer will come with such an account - the default administrator account. Since the account has full privileges it really needs to be protected such that only someone who is supposed to have full privileges on the machine can access it. The protection comes in the form of password protecting the account.


What happens if it asks for your password on a multiplayer server?

Depends which password. If it's asking you for your account password, then it's a scam, they're trying to steal your account. If the server is simply password protected, then you need to look into getting yourself authorised as only people who the owners allow can play on it. Try looking for their community forum or website.
