If I remember correctly. In a Run box, enter "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes), and uncheck the box for "Users must enter...blah blah blah"

Now that i have done this it has taken me out of her account and i can't seem to get back into it as she was listed as a second administrator, all i can seem to do is get into the original administrators account and there's a lot of files and folders and pictures in her account please help my daughters going bananas with me !
Thanks !

Now you have thrown me a wobbly. There was no mention of a 2nd admin account in your 1st post.
I'll see what I can find out.

Does she need an Administrator account ?

Edit. Just saw your other thread. Disregard this post.
