Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / July 2007Keeps 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...... Hi Charles, In the middle of use or when returning from a period of non-use? I would say you have some sort of spyware installed unless you are knowingly doing something that requires administrative privileges.

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..... > Hi Charles, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > thanks, > > charles...... 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? > Hi Charles, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > thanks, > > charles...... My problem is similar. I recently bought a new Dell with Windows Vista installed. After about a month, it is asking me to reset password. Says I have only 5 days left. I don't remember ever setting up a password.
