Logging on as administrator
I apparently changed my account type from Administrator to Limited Access
user and now I can't seem get back to the administrator type. I am the owner and my son and spouse are just users. Everytime I try to create new user or try to do anything to change my status, all I get is "You donot have access to setup program access and defaults" When I purchased my pc, it was already set up this way and I was given the option to change/switch user, but now that I added a password to myself, I no longer have that opportunity. Everyone has to signon on under my name and password. How do I get back to where I started and recoup my "administrator" status. |

Logging on as administrator
If you are using XP Pro hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the logon screen and
try loging on with the built-in administrator account, the default name is: Administrator and unless you changed it the default password is usually blank (leave the password box empty and press Enter. If you are using XP Home boot to Safe Mode. John GCurry wrote: I apparently changed my account type from Administrator to Limited Access user and now I can't seem get back to the administrator type.
