Sometimes people do dumb things.

I don't know how many people have done this before, but I have a personal computer, and it is has glitches and problems from the ground up.

I set up 2 log-on, profile, usernamey thingy's. (You can tell I'm professional ) Well I have Windows 2000 and one of the logon username thingy's is on the admin. level and the other is not.

I for some stupid(multiplied by 1000) reason thought it would be a good idea to make passwords for them, so guess what? Thats right, I forget the password for the higher security level and only remember the password for the lower securtiy level. Now I can't install or uninstall hardware and I need to fix my printer and install an internet service!

I pretty much did this:comp: and now I'm doing this

Although I didn't really destroy my computer, I screwed things up. Luckily my sister and her friend are experted with computers...to a degree. My sisters friend took a look at the computer and worked with it for a while to no avail.

So now my computer is off in some distant land to get it's hardrive replaced. At least I had good enough sense to make back ups of all my stories and pictures.

Moral of this story?

WRITE DOWN YOUR BLINKING PASSWORD!

So has anyone done anything dumber with their computer or what?

Now I feel dumb...


But then again I think my sisters friend tried that. I didn't have the original 2000 software disk anymore, and I needed a new hardrive anyways.

Is your avater laughing at me or embarrased at me?

There are ways of getting lost admin passwords. If you'd posted before sending the machine out for the replacement, You might not even have needed a reinstall.

Its a little too late now. Thats okay. I'll just keep that info in mind just in case I mess up again.
