gang I have seen this movie before and cannot recall how I solved.
I have a "new" laptop via a reseller. it has a factory-loaded windows 8 pro.
it works fine - now upgraded to 8.1.
however there is a huge security "hole" which I cannot live with.
Enabling the builtin Administrator account, it demands a password though the Builtin Administrator account has clearly never been 'first-run' - never setup, has no entries, it is virgin.
Checked with the reseller, and they are clueless - they say it is impossible. Its not. seen this on Windows 7 and 8
is there a solution other than deleting the partition and starting from scratch?
