I tried to set up a new account in Win8.
The whole process of accounts is terrible!
I was logged in as Administrator & wanted to change the name of the Administrator & add a new account.
What I ended up with is a new new account that is the Administrator's & no password to access it.
It asked me to type in my Email address & that was it. It made that the ADMIN account & will not take any of my passwords.
Does anyone have a solution or do I just reload Win8 PR?
I knew something like this would happen, so I never loaded any important stuff.
Why would the system let any change to the Admin account be made?
