I have accidentally created another "adminstrator" account but with
only limited access. For some reason when I log on as administrator
I can only get to the limited account - leaving me with no
administrator functions as every other account is limited too.....
How can I get to my real administrator account?
Eh? Please tell us how you did that.......an Administrator-level
account CANNOT have "limited access"....
I don't know really - all I know is that I have an account called
admin - with a full name "administrator" (the one I created -
limited), and an administrator account (no full name) which is I
suppose the windows one. I think the windows one doesn't have any
password, but I put a password on the one I created. All pretty
stupid, I suppose, but how do I get out of this....
if the Built-in Windows XP "Administrator" has no password (since it cannot
be deleted or demoted) - log in as the built-in account - change the
password on any of the other accounts you want to and change their
permissions level if you wish and move on.
Windows XP Home Edition?
Boot into safe mode - log in as "administrator" (Type in the username
"administrator".)
Windows XP Professional (or the rest of the families of XP)?
Reboot - press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the "Welcome" screen, type in the name
"administrator" and logon.
