Hi all,
just lookin for some help in relation to above.O/H wants to put windows on her laptop(Mac) to use some applications that are windows only.A pal of mine has downloaded Virtualbox and Windows XP but cant install them without an administrator password-which she cant recall.The hint that comes up doesnt even ring a bell with her.Any ideas on how to access,bypass or deal with this in whatever way.If you have any ideas keep them simple cos what I know about computers you could fit on the back of a postage stamp:rolleyes:
