Bought a used pc awhile back and since then, I havenโt been able to do anything with it. Prom what I could tell, it was owned by an older lady that someone had guardianship over. Apparently they set it up for her to use so she had a basic user account but the person who set it up created an admin account and virtually locked everything out. All I can do is log on and look at it. I can store files but nothing more. I need permissions to run discโs, load apps, make changes, even reload the system. Itโs ridiculous how windows 10 is. I wanted to install Linux but guess what, I need admin permission. Thereโs no way for me to do anything on this computer. I assume since this unit was donated to a charity thrift store. The user passed away and they just wanted it gone. Didnโt bother to include the password or unlock it so now it look like Iโm stuck with a brick. Do I have any options at all?
