Hi Pegasus,
I followed your instructions, but when I open properties windows for this or
any other folder there is no security tab. Meantime I opened "Owner" column
in the explorer, and it shows Administrators. Also, The "date Created" and
"Date Modified" show 2/12/2004, which is the about time my daughter got
refurbished replacement laptop from HP service. What do I do next?
Please let me know,
Radek

I have HP pavilion zv5000 laptop running Windows XP Pro version 2002
Service
Pack 3 with all recent upgrades. I can not access folder c:\documents and
settings\administrator. It was my daughter's laptop and she forgot windows
user password. Fortunately she had only user password, so I was able to
log
in using Administrator for the user name and blank password. After logging
in
as administrator I changed both user name and password for both user and
administrator account. I used the same user name and password for both
accounts. I noticed when I do alt ctrl del twice on the HP Logon page
after
windows start that Windows XP Pro logon window pops up with "hp" pre typed
in
the user name field. Also, in Computer Management utilities there are four
Support accounts and one of those is HP's. Is Administrator folder
password
protected by one of these Support Group? How can I find out, and unlock
it.
I found this locked folder why trying to stop AIM from loading on startup,
and to delete some icons from the right side of the Task Bar by the clock.
I
still can not figure it up. Can you help with this too please?
Thanks,
Radek
If you cannot access a folder while logged on as Administrator then you need
to seize ownership of it. Click Start / Help and look for help on Ownership
if unsure how it's done.
