Terra;713166 Wrote: How do I turn parental control off? When its got parental control on it, doesnt that defeat the purpose? 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 ? -- t-4-2 |

Hi t-2-4,

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. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft |

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 ![]() -- Terra |
