    I have a dell inspiron 4000 and i have been using it for about a year but all of a sudden i turned it on one day and it asked for an administrator password...but i never set a password. Is there a secret for getting past this or do i have to reinstall windows or something? PLEASE HELP i need to use the computer!!!

    There is a way to fix this. If you look on the Microsoft Web Page you see that you have to make a CD which allows you to change the administrator password. Just follow the steps and you don't have to re-install Windows.
