Sign password??
 

Since I'm the only user, the signin password is, to me, useless
nonsense!
How do I set myself as "Administrator" ?
Is there a way to eliminate the need to go through the sign-in bit??

Control Panel User Accounts change yourself to Administrator and
remove the password.

It works a little bit different on Win8.

Win8 provides two user levels (Administrator or Standard)
If one accesses Control Panel/User Accounts and they are a Standard User
they can not change their own account to Administrator

If one accesses Control Panel/User Accounts and they are an
Administrator they can change the account to Standard user as long as
another Administrator account is present.

I.e. Only an Administrator account can change an account from Standard
to Administrator

The first account created when Windows 8 is installed is always an
Administrator account. All other accounts have to be created by an
Admin account (and only Administrator accounts can raise another account
from Standard to Administrator)
