Issue with new Office 2008 displaying adminpassword at program launch

[deesea]

I recently installed Office for Mac 2008 on a new MacBook Pro. Once it was installed, when I launched the program (like Excel or Word) on the application launching screen (where it comes up showing which program you opened and the product key and the name of the registered user) it showed my full administrator password for the MacBook. Then when I went to look at the document properties for the application, under 'company name' is showed my adminstrator password. Not necessarily good when you send files to clients, friends, etc.

I uninstalled Office 2008, changed my admin password, then reinstalled Office. Same thing happened, except it was still my old original MacBook admin password. Obviously, it did not uninstall the entire program.

Does anyone know how I can correct this so it will not show my MacBook admin password everytime I launch one of the Office applications?

Yes, we know, but they have asked us not to "publish" the information.

Email me direct, and I will send it to you.
