W7: Admin account deactivated - locked out
Hi, just installed W7 Ultimate and made a mistake, I guess. During setup procedure I created the account "Jose" and customized the OS with this account, as I'm doing this for 20 years now. After finishing I removed administrative rights from this account and went ahead to customize the administrators desktop. But when I type in "Administrator" on logon screen, Windows says "Administrator is deactivated". And now there is no administrator account left to me! What to do? Complete new setup? Please let me know if there is a workaround, it took hours to customize this computer and I can't believe that W7 allows you to lock out yourself that easily... Thanks and regards, Gil |
