I would offer two suggestions:
 1) A stupid password is better than none.  (PW = "1")

 2) Having a single administrator account on one computer is a bad idea.
     Always have at least one more - which you never use - in reserve.

BTW: I congratulate you on having separate accounts, for both users and ( I
assume) email.  I am driven to distraction by my married friends who share
the same email account; I never know who is writing me, or who will read
what I send!
