I have Norton Internet Security 2006. I have a problem with that stupid firewall... you see, I pulled a stupid and lost my password. Is there something that can generate one that will let me get on? Or something that will let me change my firewall setting without the admin password?

If you forget your options password, you can reset it.

To reset your security options password

Do one of the following:

On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

On the Windows XP taskbar, click Start > Control Panel.

In the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

In the list of currently installed programs, click Norton Internet Security.

Do one of the following:

In Windows 2000, click Change/Remove.

In Windows XP, click Change.

In the Remove Application window, click Reset Password.

In the password reset dialog box, in the Reset Password Key text box, type the Reset Password Key that appears above the text box.

The Reset Password Key is case-sensitive.

In the New Password and Confirm New Password text boxes, type a new password.

Click OK.

In the Remove Application window, click Cancel.

In the Exit? alert, click Yes.

Didn't work. The auto log in is a Teen account, (I don't even know where it came from), and since I forgot the original, I can't log in to the admin to be able to change it in the first place...
