How can I disable the administrator password
Hello
I've been using Windows since 1985. Just got a second Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium), computer (Dell 3000 s) and when the initial installation has started like a fool I typed a password. I don't want a password. It is a computer in the home, no one else will use it and not worth a thing on this subject hiding so the NSA can get bored to death. It is a real pain to type a password whenever he starts or goes to sleep etc. Is there a way I can remove the password (in theory, I am the administrator - might as well be with a network of one person) so I can just log on as I did without problem for 25 years? I have two other machines Win 7 and two of them just don't start - no password at all. Really appreciate some help here.
You can use this method, which has been around since Windows 2000:
1. press Windows + R key on your keyboard.
2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
netplwiz
3 click your account name.
4. uncheck the box that requires users to enter a password.
5. click on OK.
6. Enter your password when you are prompted, and then click OK.
7. make a note of your password (because you will soon forget!) -

Hello
"What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8
If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:
If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.
If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.
If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:
If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.
If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

I need help to change the administrative password
How can I change the administrative password when the computer was a gift and I do not know the password. I need the password to set anything in the computer, including the time?
Can you log on under an admin account - any admin account? If this isn't the case, then you must ask the former owner for the password.

Need to enter the administrator password before I can download the software upgrade
I found I need to install an upgrade of the software, but cannot do without an ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD ... which I don't have (or I had not one when I implemented that stand-alone pc, or I forgot whether I don't have an administrator password to use).
Can someone tell me how to find what it is, how to change it, or how to make my normal "logon" Administrator status (without having to set an administrator password, because that's the problem I have).
I tried various methods, but everyone tells me that I need the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD and so I'm stuck.
I've seen a lot of suggestions for the windows password (which I guess is different for the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD), because none of the suggestions for this work without an administrator password.
Hello Jules.
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.
1. is the issue specific to the installation of software updates?
2. what troubleshooting have you done when you say, 'I have tried different methods?Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.
This problem may occur either if the user account control settings can not correct because of where it stops installation or there is a problem with the registry keys that control the installation of a program.
I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Run this Microsoft fixit and check.
Reference:
The problems that the programs cannot be installed or uninstalled
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstallIf this does not help, use method 2.
Method 2:
Disable user account control and then try to install the software updates.

Disable UAC in Windows 8
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hyperyash/archive/2012/07/18/disabling-user-account-control-in-Windows-8.aspxImportant notes:
Control (UAC) user account can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.
Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
