My wife has recently gotten a job working from home, and for the job she was provided with a printer. It is not set up, and wants software installed on the computer to run the installation. She does not have an admin password, and as far as I've been able to glean, her boss isn't tech savy enough (and or the tools aren't already installed) to log in remotely to provide admin credentials to run the startup software. If I run the startup software from my personal PC, and then just have it accessible via our home wifi, would my wife then be able to use the printer without having to run through all the startup on her work computer?

Boot to install media, press shift +f10 to bring up command prompt.
move c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe.bak (replace c with your system drive letter)
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
Reboot computer
Once booted, click the Ease of Access icon on the lower right corner
You should now have a command prompt - use "net user X Y" to reset the password (replace X with username, Y with the password you want)
Don't forget to delete utilman.exe and rename utilman.exe.bak back to utilman.exe
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
Agreed. Please don't anger the IT department.
You'll need admin credentials.
