Re: admin password not working for lower user

If I want to add a new program or change some small thing (in the restricted rights account) I can't do it if it requires a password.
I tried to reset the password but it wont let me. I assume that I will have to establish a new admin account and delete the old one.
An admin's password will never work in a restricted user's account, or any other account, for that matter.
I suggest you switch your restricted account to an admin account.
Jane, stop this crazy thing!
