I have a new Win7 computer. &nbsp;I'm installing some programs. &nbsp;One program wants admin rights to install. &nbsp;My user is an admin. &nbsp;But when I select to use current user for the install, it says it wants the admin. &nbsp;So I select Administrator (which is prefilled) with a blank password, which fails. &nbsp;I try my user password and that fails also. &nbsp;I haven't setup this Administrator user. <br />
