If this is a retirement community, and he's installing on friends computers.

Then the possibility is that these are computers that family members donated to their relatives.

Much like I would do. However, my guess they didn't bother to edit the admin passwords figuring their loved ones wouldn't be installing any new onto the computers.

Just a guess.

You will need them to call the previous owner to get the password.

Or just use one of the dozen or so utilities out there to obtain the password from the system.
