If this has been covered before, apologies. I've tried a search.
In our small office we have an HP Pavilion Slimline acting as the main computer, with Vista.
4 accounts are set up; Master Administrator, mine, office assistant and guest.
The Master Administrator is used for adding deleting software etc, to prevent anything being added via and email or website from one one the user accounts.
There was no password set; when a password was needed, we simply clicked through. (I know, silly, but that's how it was.)
It seems that one of a succession of temps has added a password to access the Master Administrator account.
Short of backing everything up and starting again, is there any way out of this little problem?
All advice gratefully received.
