Hi, can anyone help, I was updating my Ipod and Safari downloaded, I
went to uninstall and the message is" The system administrator has set
policiesto prevent this installation." Then a message appears "you do
not have sufficient access to uninstall safari, please contact your
system administrator." Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help.

Hello Christina,
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html
The link above will let you enable the real built-in administrator
account. Logon to this account and you should be able to do your
deleting. One question; you said it will "not allow me to delete
anything ---". You really mean ANYTHING ? or just "some of them "?
Please inform me of your result.

Hello Christina,
I could actually visualize you jumping up and down with joy. Just one
thing. You did not say with link works. Tell me, please.

I tried and failed...I used all the passwords I ever use and none of them
work. I tried the reset password but it does not know any of my e-mail
addresses. So I'm at a loss here I have no idea how to get into it. My main
account I use is set as an administrator account so i have no idea why it
will not perform all the administrator duties... any ideas?
Here is what may have started all this , my husband bought me this laptop
the same night vista came out , huge promotion....well anyway the first
laptop would not log on at all so he took it back at 2AM because he was
determined to have a laptop for me in the morning....well he and his friend
hooked it all up for me and i have no idea what passwords they used being so
early they didn't remember or think to write them down ,but for the most part
I could use it and had no reason to delete anything at that time but,I have
had this computer for a year now and it is so full my hard drive is bogging
down I have to eliminate some things ....I'm at my wits end and would
consider cleaning out the whole thing and starting over if that would help
....but , I have no idea what to do now

Hello Christina,
Here is a link to let you "Take Ownership" of an item. Use Method One,
the automatic way. It's a lot easier. Let me know again if it works this
time.
