Hi, I have just installed a new version of windows on my lap top. Now every time I switch the computor on I get a message asking if I would like to change my password - in order to do this I have to enter the original one - does anyone know where I woud find this?! (It's not something I created!)
- The message has given me about 10 days to find it - 0r..... well, it doesnt say, but i dont like count downs!!
if anyone can help before time runs out (drum roll here
) I would really appreciate it - especially if the programme is going to do something painful like lock me out!!
thanks
