  • Windows 8.0 lost administrator password

    I lost the administrator password for my lap top of Windows 8. I tried a number of ways to work around this problem. One of them involved starting in safe mode, but I was unable to get into safe mode (never seen that option). Everything I tried, install programs, and anything that modifies the system asked the administrator password. I was able to install updates for windows, but not able to upgrade to windows 8.1. In my view, the passwords are, but that's all, I discovered. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

  • Thunderbird, ask administrator password. I give him and he said: no good. How to do this?

    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.
