i have just purchased a new computer that has Vista as the OS. I would like
to have a password on the "Administrator" account, but when I click on the "create password" button after typing in, confirming and "hinting" my desired password, I get a "Windows cannot change password" error. What am I doing wrong and/or how do I go about setting a password for my user account? Thanks in advance for all who assist. |

What version of Windows do you have? Home Basic? Premium? Ultimate?

Same problem with new computer running Vista Home Basic. My computer came
off the display shelf at Best Buy. Does this have something to do with it and how did you fix it. "SKS89" wrote:
