| Guest | password 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. |
