he has 2 accounts the administrator and his. I can get on his account but I need to know the password of the administrator account to install the file.

Answer #3

Unless his parents or someone else passworded the Admin Account, there really isn’t a password. I’m the only one on my computer, and it tells me I need the Admin permission all the time…I just bypass it. I have XP, tho…

Maybe call the company who loaded Win 7 in there, they must have a universal password, since they load 100’s of computers at one time when they getting them ready to sell.
