I'm posting this question for my sister who just recently purchased a new computer with Vista installed. We set up 3 accounts on her computer. One for her (as admin) and one for each of her two sons. We had no problems setting up the actual accounts, but it would NOT let us set a password on her admin account. We tried several different passwords--the last ones fitting the requirements for minimum numbers of letters, including caps/lowercase, symbols, numbers, etc. Every time we tried, we would get an error message about not being able to set it.

What could be causing it to not allow us to set a password? I'll be going to visit this weekend for Labor Day and would really like to get this issue fixed. Right now, either of her sons could get right into her account if they wanted since it's not password protected.
