accounts there.

You are not "The Administrator", you are "an administrator" (an account
of *type* administrator).

That means an account with many but not all of The Administrator's
privileges.

Which one are missing?

You tell me. I have no intention of doing that research - but thanks for
asking.

The real Administrator account is hidden, but it is accessible by some
trickery.

In the elevated command prompt, type

net user administrator /active:yes

and hit ENTER.

Tricky, no? :-)

Since you weren't able to figure that out from what I wrote: I had no
intention of posting that information in this thread.

If you wanted to tell R.H. Breener how to enable the Administrator
account, you also should have mentioned how to disable it. And why. And
while you were at it, you might have told him how to log in to that
account and how to set a password once he's there. Also how to get back
to his normal account...

You were not altogether responsible, IMO.

Would it be safer to use an Unlocker and the TakeOwnership programs rather
then this Administrator account? They allow any file to be renamed, moved or
deleted. I know when I try to install Winmail and do some file renaming and
removing, I'll need that ability.
