John Jones, I don’t use Windows, so my capacity to help is going to be limited. However, here are some thoughts: In order for your to change the admin password, you have to know the current admin password. It is possible that the installer did not change the admin password from the default, if there is one. It is also possible that he used the prior password. If you don’t know the current admin password, you’re really shooting blind. You can try some of the more common “default” passwords. If not, then try “PASSWORD”; “password”; “ADMIN”; “admin”; or permutations of those concatenated with the year, e.g., “admin2016”.
Just don’t try more than about five per hour; Windows should warn you when the number of password attempts is approaching its limit. Not being a Windows user, I don’t know much more than that.
