Hmmm...that would depend on several things. Is the computer a server, standalone system, networked system? I assume you are talking getting past the password prompt. There are numerous different operating systems and therefore numerous different methods of approach. Is the password you are tying to get around a BIOS password, user password, administrator password?

Without knowing those, as well as other specifics, I am afraid I would have to recommend you contact a local professional computer technician.

Computer Administrator will only show on the welcome screen when there are no other users defined. Once you create a user, Administrator will become hidden.

This will affect you in two major ways. . . 1) You will need to type out all of your Usernames when you log on. ( Including Administrator ) 2) You will no longer be able to switch between users while staying logged on. You will need to log off completely.
