Thanks, thats one of the first things I tried. But Ill try it again, it
only gives 3 chances then says reboot

Its like it teases me. Ive tried some passwords that I realized wouldnt be
very secure, and others that might be it. Ive learned a lot from this, a
person like me trying to figure out a password will try lots of obvious
things.

Im going to make my passwords much stronger. But this bites, compUSA has
the password, or did 2 years ago,

okay its asking for the pwd now, first Ill try blank: no
2. Ill try windows no
3. Ill try password no

then I tried them in upper case, and tried ADMINISTRATOR

there is no emoticon for how I feel about this.
