This is a problem because i can't download anything so can anyone tell me what i should do? And will master resetting my computer work?

Answer 1

Your stuffed !  You are going to have to do a System recovery if you have recovery disks from the manufacturer of a windows re-install if you haven't. System restore won't work if you only have a limited account.

Answer 2

Press 'F8' repeatedly as the computer starts to get the startup menu.

Start Windows in safe mode, sign in as 'administrator' and create a new user account with admin privileges.

Restart the computer, and log in on your new account.

Answer 3

try to create new admin account...

goto control panel...

click user accounts.....create new user....

if you want to discover your admin password..

goto run..type cmd....

type net users..........it shows the available users.....select the account you want to change....

to change....
