Okay, I am trying to do the repair off the system cd-rom that comes with the
computer, because Windows is messed up right now, and my System Restores
don't go back far enough. When it asks me which instalation I would like to
repair, then it asks for the administrater's password. Well, it has been a
long time since I installed Windows, and I can't remember it. Is there any
place at all in my computer where I can find it, or reset it? If so, email me
at alexiel_animus@yahoo.com Thank you all.
