Vista - Administrator Password

Have just brought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. My sons
have decided that they want to load up software without my knowledge; this
was not what the laptop was brought for.

I decided to create an Admin Account and Family Account to stop the loading
of unwanted software, plus set up internet parental controls.

Now every time I go to change any setting, the window comes up "Windows
Needs Your Permission and type in your password." But there is nowhere to
type in the password. Even when I log in on Admin and try to make changes, it
asks me the same question and nowhere to enter the Password.

One mistake that I’ve done is not to make a “Password reset disk�

Can anyone help?????

Hi, Carbra
I don't know what you want to know,
Maybe, you want to reset the administrator account's password, right?

The only time a prompt to enter the administrator password should pop is
when you are logged on with a Standard User account? If you are logged with
an Administrator account, you should just see a prompt with a Continue or
Cancel button.

Are you sure you are logged on with an administrator account?
