Keeps asking for my administrator password?
Hi all,
My new Dell all of a sudden started asking for my administrator account password periodically. I am using Vista Home Premium. I don't know what I did to trigger this activity since it didn't do it just after I get it several weeks ago. Any ideas? thanks, charles......

If my account has administrative privilages, doesn't the
OS know and remember this so it doesn't have to keep nagging me? If I am going to be away from it I will turn it off so waking back up is not an issue. later..... "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ...

Keeps asking for my administrator password?
My problem seems to be similar. I recently bought a new Dell with Vista Home
Premium installed. Now after about amonth it is asking me to reset password. I have only 5 days left. I don't remember ever setting a password. What do I do?
