   "Something strange has occurred with my Windows 7. We had two user   
   accounts on there: mine (which was also the Admin account) and my   
   wife's. Neither of these accounts had a password. (Perhaps not a good   
   idea, but nobody else uses our computer.)   
      
   Last night, my wife's account wasn't showing up on the opening sign-in   
   screen, but there was a blank profile called "Other User". When I logged   
   onto that and entered my wife's user account, it let us log in.   
      
   I went into Users to see if I could see what was going on, and I'm not   
   sure how it happened, but the next thing I knew, without entering   
   anything at all, it was saying that there was a password on my Admin   
   account.   
      
   So I logged back out to the use login screen and now my wife's account   
   shows up, and there's only the blank "Other User" profile showing up for   
   me. If I log into it and enter my username, it prompts for a password -   
   a password which I never created and thus do not know. So now I'm locked   
   out of the Admin account for my computer.   
      
   Is there anything I can do?"   
      
   Why do people put up with paying for this unfinished CRAP?
