newpersia

Hello!

I have 2 user account in my Win XP

1- "Madness" my major user account which is the administrator account
2- "Family" a limited user account

my "Madness" administrator account is missing & whenever I startup my
PC only the limited account is coming out with a login window.

I tried the following methods but it did not work out

1- restarted my PC in safe mode. but still only the limited account has
appeared
2- tried to change the registry but coulde not do any editing as I am
loged in the limited account & has no access to the administrator
account
3- downloaded the UITweak but could not install it as I am in the
limited account.

unfortunatly my admin account has no password therefore being in the
limited account it does not even prompt for admin permission when I
want to install a new program.

PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP HOW CAN I GET BACK MY MISSING ADMIN
ACCOUNT TO THE LOGIN LIST???????

Try press Alt +Ctrl+Del in the login screen. (The screen that only appear

CTRL+ALT+DELETE Twice at Welcome screen, that will get a prompt for
user/pass

try logging into your madness account. if that fails.

You want to log in as Administrator. Then you can deal with your
administrative madness account
username:Administrator password: <-- blank password

That may fail too, 'cos something's funny here.

When you're in safe mode, it should show the default Administrator
accoutn on the welcome screen. (not madness or not just madness).

It's strange if you don't have that.

try Peter Nordahl's offline NT password recovery (google).
that may help you get to the Administrator account.
i'm not sure what to do if there is no Administrative account. I'm not
even sure that is possible to get into that situation.
To delete a user account you have to be Administrator, and you probably
can't delete your own account.

I might try it and see!
