    Default WIN 7 Users accounts

    About a year ago I made the mistake of buying Minecraft for my daughter,She got so hooked on it I had to create users accounts and parental controls to limit her playing time.
    Now she is accepted to a selective school,so the restrictions have paid off. But I'm the goose now.I can't install any program on my desktop because apparently I'm not the administrator.
    How to get rid off this,don't remember the password,the computer comes straight on without logging in but no new installation.Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Right click and "Run as Administrator" may work , but I am sure someone else will know.

    Use a windows password recovery tool. Actually the easiest ones are the type that just remove the admin password, then log in as admin and change the rights of the User account that you usually use. Check out or you could download Hiren's BootCD that contains this tool, it contains a ton of other things too, so a 600Mb download, but you can easily burn a bootable CD with it.

    Hiren or UBCD are the tools I tend to use for these things.
