Windows says it cant find whatever i just tried to open after i type in my admin password.

Whenever i try and do something that requires an admin password, the admin password text box appears. Since i don't have a password set for the admin account i just click yes, it then says it cant find whatever i was trying to open "make sure you typed the name correctly then try again" . Currently i'm trying to transfer the files from another profile account on to a different one. At the same time i'm also dealing with the bug that says windows isn't authentic, but every time i try and type in the product key it requires admin permission so i cant even do that.

This computer wasn't originally mine so i'm not entirely sure, and the person who's it was before me was given it by a scholarship foundation.

For any used PC, the first thing you should do is a full wipe and reinstall. For your protection as well as theirs.
Since you do not know the admin password, there's not a lot you can do with this.

The laptop came from a family member so i was trying to get their stuff off of the computer before i wiped it.

THen ask the family member for the admin password. Not much else you can do.

That would point to not having the correct password. Or your numlock is on.
