I deleted the administrator account
While in UAC, after creating a User Account with Administrative privileges, I deleted the UAC named "Administrator." I no longer have access to "Documents and Settings" and various other folders. I have tried booting to Safe Mode, but there is not an "Administrator" login to choose from, only the created Named Administrator appears. If I try to re-create the "Administrator" in the UAC, I get the message that the "Administrator" already exists. How do I get this User back? Do I follow the CMD instructions to "Enable" an Administrator account? -- jcosindc |

I deleted the administrator account
I had to log into the .cmd command the other day when I did that my ADmin user account had been corrupted, and I couldn't log in under it. I did the following: 1. I went into my wifes "STANDARD USER" account and clicked on the start button them typed: "CMD" without the quotes. 2. When the .cmd command line came up in the list I right clicked on it, then clicked on "Run as ADministrator. Then hit Enter. 3. Type: net user administrator /active:yes. Hit Enter. 4. The command line will tell you if you successfully enter the Syntax. If so at the next line type: "exit" (without the quotations) Now you can go in and create another User Administrator account using your hidden Administrator. 5 Once created don't forget to go in undr your new user Admin account and re-hide your Built in Admin Account. -- Twowheeler |
