- Administrator password
- Posted by on March 7th, 2004
I have a used pc & when I try to install additional
software, I get the message that I must be signed in as
the administrator. I do not have the password & can not
get it. How can I install sofrware on this pc?
Thanks

Get the password for the Administrator account from the person who sold
you the used PC. If indeed they did include a legal copy of Windows in
the sale then they are not allowed to hold your property as hostage.

Tsk, tsk. You're presuming. There's a thousand ways to take legal
possession of a computer without knowing its history.
Let's try to think of a few, okay?
Someone dies and the computer is sold or given away.
A couple is divorced and the computer is sold or given away and the last
thing on anyone's mind is the password.
A business goes out of business and the computers are auctioned/sold off.
A person gets into a car accident or does something along those lines that
scrambles their brains and no one knows the password and the computer is
sold/given away.
A computer is lost/stolen and the police/city auction it off when no claims
it after a period of time.
Your assignment is to think of another 6 or more ways someone could obtain a
computer and not know the password. Your response is required before you're
allowed to post again.
