lipsofanangel Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ok so heres how it is. I have my computer set so the administrator has to sign in at the blue screen. So my brother comes on presses F8 or F10 or something. A whole screen comes up. He presses username administrator, and he gets right in on a seperate account almost like a guest account. I need my computer to be private. Please tell me how I can make it that.thanks! I want no possible way around without a password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMTNT Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Boot to Safe Mode(repeatedly tap F8 as the machine is starting up) and create a password for the built-in Administrator account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozofdeath Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 This is a problem for most users. They don't realize there is an enabled hidden administrator account. Of course as far as I know you cannot access this account remotely but they have decided to disable it in Vista because of such problems. On a good note it aids many computer techies/users because its like a universal open key when users lock themselves out. But I'm sure its happened to everyone at some point.
