How to open System Properties?

[Guest Phisherman]

I want to allocate more disk space for checkpoints. I do not want any

existing checkpoints deleted. I do not have Administrative

privileges. Microsoft Help says the first step is to open "System

Properties." How can I open System Properties?

You need to have administrative privileges to allocate more disk space. You

can open System Properties by right clicking on My Computer and selecting

Properties.

I am the sole user of this PC, yet Windows will not accept the

administrative password assigned to it in 2006.

Did you password protect the built-in Administrator account?

Yes, but I know the password. It's my guess malicious software or

other corrupt issue has changed it. I dread the thought of a clean

install.

I've never tried it but according to some sites, you can reset the password

during a repair install by pressing Shift+F10 when the Installing Devices

progress bar is displayed after the first reboot, then typing nusrmgr.cpl

(or control userpasswords2) to get access to User Accounts.
