Cannot login as administrator

P

Pete Raines

I changed my usual login account to 'limited" and now cannot get back to a
point where I can login as an administrator. There is (or were) an
additional account (actually 2, the original administrator and another
account I created) without passwords which are admiinsitrator accounts but
they do not appear at login, only the limited account appears. When I go to
control panel, user accounts and "run as" only "ASPNET" appears and that
won't allow me to login. It is not a question of a forgotten password but
rather an inability to get a chance to login as an administrator.

Aloha,

If you are using Windows XP Home then, you may try booting the computer in
safe mode.
Type the user name as Administrator and leave the password blank and click
OK.

For Windows XP Pro, hit the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys twice in the WELCOME screen
and login as Administrator.
