What kind of account do you have? Administrar, normal user?

[Force Flow]

The picture shows Administrator.

Are you logged on as that user?

[kevinf]

i am logged on as administrator and i did type a name during the windows installation so why does it say administrator as my name

[Force Flow]

Log on as yourself, not as Administrator. Your username has Administrator privledges. You can change the password of user account "Kevin" once you log on as "Kevin"

[kevinf]

but the only account is administrator

so do i make a new account called "kevin" log off of the administrator account and log on to the newly created account?

[Force Flow]

In the picture you provided, the account you have is "Kevin". That's the account. Now, the privledges are different from the account name. The account "Kevin" has administrative privledges.

So, you are saying the only account there is the account named "Kevin"?

[kevinf]

it was named administrator but changed it to kevin sorry i forgot to say that

[Force Flow]

If you create a new account with administrative privledges, you will get the rest of those options in the user profile.

[kevinf]

so do i just creat another account with admin privilages and log out and log in to the new one
