My father and i are growing tired of repairing my sisters computer as her and my other sister install programs whenever they pop up. So i have password protected the Administrator account. She is running XP Professional SP2.
THe problem lies with 2 things. I would like to make her and my other sister power users, we do not want them having full administrative privileges. However i cant find how to change her account and my other sisters account to power users. I only can find the option to change to limited user, which I feel is TOO restricted.
Next, her computer somehow got it into memory that it will autologin no matter what. So everytime the computer boots it boot to the administrator account without prompting for password. Where do i turn this feature off.
Finally if the passwords are forgotten, HIGHLY HIGHLY unlikely for me, but how would i retrieve them. I do not want to, or know how to hack, im asking is there a file that contains the passwords for the accounts, or some way i can gain access if something goes wrong or happens to the admin account?
