what keys are "Net user administrator /active:yes"?
Hi All,
I have a customer that lost/forgot/typo'ed her password. Her Vista Home Edition Administrator's account is disabled. I can edit the registry with Bart PE. Can someone tell me what registry key I need to edit to accomplish what "Net user administrator /active:yes" does? Many thanks, -T |

But I did find a utility to do it for me: Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ This is a Linux boot CD that allows you to both enable user accounts and erase user passwords, including the Administrator's account. And, it worked perfectly on my customer machine. She now has an Administrator's icon and she can now log into both her own account and the Administrator's account without a password. Happy camping has returned. I hope this helps others, -T |
