Right-click Computer Manage Local Users and Groups Users Double-click 'Administrator' Select 'Account is disabled'. Click 'Apply' , 'OK'. Reboot/log off If your account has no password then you should boot to your desktop. |

This account is disabled BY DEFAULT in both Vista and Windows 7. Something happened to make it appear. This /might/ be the action of malware or a virus. |

Reboot/log off If your account has no password then you should boot to your desktop. Whoa! I don't entirely know what you mean but it sounds like some good magic worth saving!!! Thanks, Andy From a book I am currently reading: In Windows NT, 2000, and XP, there was an account named Administrator that was, by definition, a Computer Administrator account. You may have noticed that it's nowhere to be seen in Windows 7. Actually, it's still there, but hidden. There's a good reason for this. It's disabled by default and hidden on the Welcome screen and even in Safe Mode. And it requires no password to log on. This was done to provide a way to recover if you somehow manage to delete the last (other) Computer Administrator account from your computer. In this case, Windows will automatically enable the Administrator account so that you can log on (without having to remember a password) and re-create one or more Computer Administrator accounts, or turn a Standard User into an Administrator. (You would then immediately log off and use the restored regular account.) |

Correct - so my question to the OP (and still not answered) is, what did he (or someone or something else) do to enable the Administrator Account in the first place? If he did nothing, then it sounds like malware or a virus to me... |

If malware or a virus had managed to manipulate the hidden Administrator account in Vista\Win7 then I think it would be all over the web before now. |

Well something has happened - it's not overly straightforward to enable the built-in Administrator account either in Vista or Win 7... |

NEWly formatted Drive . Windows 7 professional. The Malware Has to be on Microsofts Win7 DVD if there were one... Same installation , But Now Both of my DVD burners ( NEW) have disappeared from win 7... Bios Shows they are reconised . But win7 says that the driver CDROM.SYS is Corrupted . And TRUSTINSTALLER will not let me Replace CDROM.SYS Even tho I am the administrator . I created a Restore point last night before Bed time. I start up the computer this afternoon and The Optical Drives are not responding. Win7 Statem says that cdrom.sys is corrupted . Don't know how this could happeb when the power was shut off to the computer for 13 hours . I did the restore point I made last night and BOTH OPTICAL drives are now working . Win 7 is a nightmare . I feel I should put the Win7 cd Thru my Cd Shreader and go back to Winxp Now I know Why There is No Microsoft window 7 newsgroups. The Donot want The Truth being told to prospective Buyers . |
