lost user account on Welcome screen
I added a new user account (administrator was selected by
mistake) and now the old "Administrator" user account does not show up as an option on the "Welcome" screen. Also, unable to delete the new user account or change it's user type. Any ideas on how to fix? |

lost user account on Welcome screen
Hi Scott,
Don't worry. This is by design. The default Administrator account is for emergency use only. As soon as a new account with Administrator privileges is created the default one is made hidden. To login as default admin press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to show the normal logon dialog and enter username/password. If you "really" want to have the default Administrator account shown on logon screen: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_admin_ok.htm -- -R-e-h-a-n- "Scott Maurer" wrote in message ...
