    yes I Know I'm a total loser when it comes to pc's .

    I recently moved my pc to another house , ( came with a rather goodlooking redheaded chick :drool)
    So I've managed to install a pasword on my Xp admin account , reason being to many kids fidling around with my pc .

    I've also been having trouble with the language settings , the damn thing seems to flip from azerty to qwerty every five seconds .

    trouble is , I cant get acces to my admin account . Nice he .

    Since you guys helped me out last time , .......... would you please think of me again this time .

    !st thing I do is click start> click control panel> double click->user accounts
    then create other accounts for other people...
    and make yourself administrator or whatever...
    take it from there...:-D
    make the kids account limited...

    Is your admin account the administrator accnt? The one that only appears in safe mode? If by admin accnt you mean an account with administrator privledges you may still be able to access the hidden admin account by starting in safe mode. Hitting F8 after the flash screen and leaving the password blank.

    Wait a minute... beep, beep... back up...
    1st you said...
    "So I've managed to install a pasword on my Xp admin account , reason being to many kids fidling around with my pc ."

    Then you say,,,
    "yes wel , I can only acces the pc through a limited account , so I cant create admin accounts now ."

    OK, now I'm confused, but then the next question is...
    If it's Your computer... and you're not the administrator, then who is the administrator?

    I am the admin , I dont have the admin password . The limited accounts I can gain acces through belong to the kids .

    I know what I typed in as password , the pc doesnt seem to agree that I know it . Like I said before , I'm no good with computers , I've tried loging on a few times but I just doesnt work .

    You should have gotten that straightened out before you typed in a password. In the keyboard was azerty when you typed it in but now has switched to qwerty or vice versa, your chances of getting in are slim to none.

    Just going back...did you try starting in safe mode to see if you were offered an Administrator account that you could access by leaving the password field blank?
