Adminstrative Accounts

Our adminstrative account is locked and can not unlock it. How can I get
into the main account?

Hi Larry,

Do you mean it is in the "Lock" screen?

Do you mean that it is not accepting you password?

Please reply back with some more details, and hopefully I will be able to help you.

Yes it is on the "Lock" screen and no it does not take any of the passwords
we have had. I am totally lost.

Larry,

You can try METHOD THREE in this tutorial, or another one if you are able to, to reset the password for that account to gain access again.
