Hibernate mode and password
I just tried Hibernate for the first time.
I'm using MS virtual desktops and and since I setup four different desktops that it would be nice to have them come up the way they were setup on shutdown.
All worked well except on bootup it asked me for the Admin password.
I had not put one in originally so I clicked OK and everything loaded fine.
Now I would like to pass on the hibernate mode info to a friend but I don't know if he set a password for Admin. If so he most likely won't remember so...is there a way to check in advance to find out if there was a password set and what it is?

You can set the computer so it won't ask for the password when it resumes from standby or hybernation.
Also, your computer asked for the admin password because you are logged in as the administrator, if you were logged in on a different account you would be asked for the password to that account.
And last but not least, having an administrator account on your computer that is the default "Administrator" username and no password is a sizeable security risk in windows, set a password and change the username ASAP.
