Ask him what the password is. Otherwise, you will have to use the RESTORE disk and start reinalling from scratch.
But Mozilla Firefox is a better and safer browser.
Here is a new family rule:
- DO NOT set any passwords. That is only for your Mom and Dad to set up. - DO NOT keep any secrets on the computer. Your Mom and Dad should always know what you are doing on the computer. - Talk to your parents about your computer use and whenever someone tries to reach you that you do not know.
Remember, if you just fix it, then your brother will only do it again. Get your parents involved in this issue.
