I previously had set up Vista on my laptop so that both userids had administrator rights. That's changed (I don't know how because I certainly didn't do it - Windows auto update I suspect !) and the user group for both is now "debugger users". When I try to change it back to administrator I get "access denied". I've tried starting in safe mode but it won't let me enable the hidden administrator account. My laptop came only with a recovery DVD and I don't seem to be able to boot from that without wiping the disk. Clearly I don't want to do that ! How can I recover my admin privileges please ? -- davidmalloch |
