Windows Update has locked out Admin account
The admin account on a single user machine which did not require a password to logon has been changed by an update this week to require a password which of course does not exist. The question is how can the Admin account be reset to allow access. There is a second non-admin account which boots without a password, but is of little use, because ther are none of apps etc that are contained in the admin account. The user does not have a Micrsoft account.
This was originally an OEM pre-installed Win 7 Home version and was upgraded by Windows update.
It is possible to setup a new account from the secondary account, the question is, how to replicate the admin account apps in a new admin account?
