My office upgraded computers and let me just take the old one home to keep. It's fine, but whenever I try to add a program or delete one, that administrator username and password window pops up and stops me in my tracks. Now, my work IT person gave me the username and password, but they are rejected because -- either, they are old since my office adopted new ones for their new generation of computers or maybe the computer is looking to be connected to my employer's system/server and isn't. I can't be sure why. I'm not really a tech person. But my IT person doesn't have time to fix this for me right now, and may never have time. The IT dept was nice enough to allow me to take the computer, but seem as if they don't want me to continue to be a nudge.
Can I somehow remove the requirement for these obsolete administrator rights to remove or add programs? I tried simply creating my own admin account, but I can't -- the computer asks for my admin privileges to do that, bringing me back to the same problem.
Thanks for any help.
