Any help is greatly appreciated.
Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator . You will need to know the password, if any, for this account. Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password, because you are self-employed. Boulder computer Maven

I'm trying to download Thunderbird on Windows 7. When I click "Run" it extracted and then a window "run as" appears. My choices are myself and administrator. I tried them both. Neither work. I googled how to find the administrator password. That's what I use and it's giving me a logon failure: unknown username or bad password. When I select myself under the run as a window the window disappears and nothing happens.
It seems that you have put yourself in place with a standard user account that does not have permission to download and install programs.
Set your user account as an administrator or when booting Windows to connect on the admin account.
Here's something I found on google.

How to find my homegroup password in Vista
I'm trying to set up a home network between my Windows 7 computer and my Vista computer.
I want to use the password protected sharing option but cannot find the homegroup password in the Vista computer.
Where is he?
Vista computers cannot join a homegroup. This is not to say that they cannot be attached to a network that also has computers to Windows 7, which can be found on a homegroup.

Cannot be reset CSA 5.7 Administrator password of CLI
Hello
Can someone advise me please on the following...
I need to reset the password for administrator CLI on an ACS 5.7 system runnning on a Cisco 1121.
I went through the process to boot from the recovery CD, but when you get to the option to reset the Admin password, I get the following error:
Cannot find the configuration of ADE-OS starting
Unable to proceed to the recovery of password
Leave the password utility
Can someone please advise how to solve this problem that we desperately need to enter in the CLI to change the IP address.
Thank you very much
I suggest try reinstall the ADE-OS software and / or do an upgrade to the latest version of maintenance. And then try the reset password again.
Otherwise, I would say a case of opening with TAC.
