Terra,
Parental Control is not your concern. Regaining access to your computer
is.
Do you know how to do system restore ? If you do, do it in Safe mode,
choosing the date BEFORE this problem arose.
If you don't, restart you machine, and AS SOON AS you have power on,
hit F8 key repeatedly until safe mode screen is on. Choose the option :
LAST GOOD CONFIGURATION by using the up/down arrow keys. Press Enter
key.
Are you back to normal ?

Hi t-2-4,

Lets hope System Restore will fix this because Last Known Good Configuration
just deals with pretty much Hardware/Drivers changes.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet

Zinda,

If you need help then please start a new thread. This one is old and when
you reply with a problem even like the OP had, you cheat yourself out of
getting perhaps several responses. Many have already looked over the
original post and have moved on and most likely will never see your post.

I have searched and searched for a solution on this and to no avail.

I had just the one admin user account and wanted to add another, I
wanted the extra one to be the admin one and the original I set with
standard user and parental control.

Now there is no admin account when I go to switch user, I have tried in
safe mode and several other suggestions but what happens is that becoz I
have set it as parental control it asks for password to be entered, the
password that I set as my admin one, it wont accept as it says 'logon
failu the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this
computer'.

Im stuck and would appreciate any help
