Help..can't log in as administrator
I set up a set up a new administrator account and new a standard user account. For some reason...don't ask me why, just plan stupid, I set my new standard account as the adminstrator and the old adminstrator account to a standard user. Now when I log on it does not give me the option to log into the admin account so that I can change things back. I have done some research online and am not able to be successful in applying any of those suggestion. I am not technically inept, obviously, so be gentle and clear, but simple. Currently I am not able to access many of my options since I can only log on to the standard account. PLEASE HELP. My computer and sytem details a Vista Home Premium, 32-bit operating system with AMD Atholon(tm) 64X2 dual cor processor, with 4 GB memory on a eMachine, model T5230. -- jeanniev |

Try to login in build-in administrator account and make diagnose & repair.If there is no any administrator account build-in admin should appear in safe mode -if not you have to enable build-in admin remotely There are many various methods to do that: link I:'What do I do: I can no longer log in or elevate to an administrator account' (http://www.jimmah.com/vista/content.aspx?id=7) link II:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/20...ge-win-re.html apart of above methods alsoTools for reseting password also have option to enable/disable accounts (for built-in admin also) for example 'Offline NT Password & Registry Editor' (http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/) -- Flavius |

I have vista home premium. now i can't log on to my admin account even with the correct password the welcome screen goes on endlessly & i have to power off. The only other account is a standard user account which is working fine otherwise but i can't access my 40 gb data that is on the admin account is can't do system restore nor cmd command prompt as in all cases UAC is asking for admin password first and that profile is corrupted. please advise how to save & access my valuable data & get admin priviliges again. -- vin |

Thanks for your reply. I guess Link II is for user account password recovery only & I will have to follow IInd process i.e. hard way. It seems hard to me I am not that IT savvy. -- vin |

All methods to enable admin account are relative difficult - remember NT systems are protected before permissions escalations.I think OPTION II from link I is the most easy (there are also pictures),OPTION III from link I is harder but I attache below additional advices helpful to undarstanding this method and make this method easier: how to edit registry from WinRE -read all from post 17 this thread: 'Can't Delete Registry Key' (http://www.vistax64.com/general-disc...try-key-2.html) the same method I presented hehttp://www.vistax64.com/851487-post2.html But of course all methods are good -your decision what you choose... -- Flavius |
