My friend's boyfriend gave her a computer with Microsoft
Office installed on it. They have since gone splitsville, and come to find out he is the only one with administrative privledges on it. Now she can't defrag, install any program, or basically do anything with it. Is there any way to assign her administrative privledges without his password, or bypass his password? HELP! |

Just because it has Office installed, doesn't mean this is the correct place to be posting - your question has nothing whatsoever to do with Office. Suggest you repost in a group concerned with the /operating system/ installed. |

If she doesn't have any of the install CD's she owns a doorstop ,not a
computer. Kellie wrote: My friend's boyfriend gave her a computer with Microsoft Office installed on it.

She should back up her data to another partition if she has one or to CD/DVD
and do a full install of Windows. That way she gets to assign the admin privileges. If her ex has windows CD, she will have to buy one. "Bob I" wrote in message ...
