Hi, question... I am the administrator of my computer... however I allow my children to have their own user accounts... normally I can click on their user account and check the history well my son has recently placed a password on his which prevents me from checking his history... is there a way I can check the history of the entire computer since I am the admin? :confused:

You can remove his account as admin and then go from there and then "create an account for him" with his name but a blank pw and then also when setting up an account, you set it to login without the pw screen coming up, It just boots into his account when his name is chosen

Do this in the account you create for him


1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.

# Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click Apply.

# In the Automatically Log On window, type the password (Blank) in the Password box, and then retype the password (Blank) in the Confirm Password box.

# Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to close the User Accounts window.

Is a place to start, if happens again, will try to find a better solution for you
