Just a couple of thoughts. Is your sign-in user account name Administrator? If not, then there is a possibility you didn't create a password for Administrator account itself? In which case, sign-in as Administrator leaving the password field blank. A long shot at that.

I'm more inclined now to return to my RV return to my RV and locate the manual where I wrote the password. The trouble is with the physical condition I'm in right now that will be difficult.any how, ill probably take that route. I can pick up the installation CD's at the same time.sorry for any typos I can only use one hand.
