Knowing what kind of operating system you are using and what kind of computer/hardware would be a huge help here.
But I'm going to give it a few shots in the dark here. Ok?
If you are running XP:
- At Startup Keep hitting F8.
- Choose: Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
- At the Home/Login/Welcome Screen Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL twice.
- Login using your adminstrator name and password
- After Login you will have a command prompt
- In Command Prompt type: control
- This spawns the control panel, renable/add an adminstrator and then reboot.
If you are using Windows 7 or Vista the only thing you can do is get an elevated command prompt. If you can get to a desktop this is what you can try:
- Start -> Run
- Type: cmd
- Hit: CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
- If in a standard account you will need the admin password, otherwise if in an admin account hit cancel and repeat.
This will give you an elevated command prompt (You can tell cause it starts in C:\Windows\System 32 )
Then you want to type in the command prompt:
net user administrator /active:yes
This will unhide and enable the default admin account. Hit enter, then logout. Create a new admin account and then disable the built in account with:
net user administrator /active:no
for security purposes.
If you cannot get to admin in Vista or 7 because of no admin access, attempt to use
F8 and choose to login with command prompt. That should give you an elevated command and then use the
net user administrator /active:yes trick.
I hope those helped.
