Default Re: damn administrator account

Once another account is created the Administrator account is hidden.
It can be accessed in Safe Mode:
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.


It is better not to use the Administrator, instead leave it for
emergencies.
Instead create another account and copy the data from Administrator to
new account:
