I'm trying to install TB for the first time. After extracting I get a screen that says this: "You may not have the necessary permissions to use all of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or contnue to run the program as the current user: a) Current used (Office1\My Name) b) Run the program as the following user: 

       User name:  Administrator
       Password:

If I select (a) Current user, the other options go blank and selecting "OK" goes nowhere. Selecting (b) Administrator requires a password which I can't work out.

Any similar experiences? and answers

Thanks

sounds like you need to get the window administrator password.
