I have somehow managed to create a user account with
limited access to software. The problem is that it is
the only user on the computer! I need to know how to get
back to an Administrator status in order to wipe out this
user. I don't believe the administrator information on
the computer was ever altered. What should I enter as a
user name and password? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
