Hi everyone. First time post c. maybe a silly question. I'm trying
to install TrendMicro and the installation routine keeps asking me for
an Administrator Privilege pwd. AFAIK I don't have one. I never set
a pwd. on this computer. I see where I can in Control Panel under
"users." Is the problem as simple as my just entering a pwd. and that
becomes the administrator pwd? Thanks in advance for any help. As
you all can see, I'm not exactly a computer whiz! BillR.

If you didn't set any password then you simply need to press the [enter]
key when promted to enter the password.

By default, the first account created on any XP, Vista, Windows 7,
Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10 is always an Administrator user. Password i
normally optional but most people create one anyway. I always do.
However, if there is no password then try pressing the enter key.

Hope this helps.
I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. All that happened was
that the "Password" request stayed in place. Thanks for the advice.
Am I risking anything if, after all this time, I create a new
password? BillR.
