enable the CTRL ALT & DEL login. If you have not already
got the login set up this way, login with your regular
account and go to the Start Menu > Control Panel
User Accounts > Change the way User log on or off >
Click to expand...
Uncheck the Use Welcome Screen and click Apply Options.

Now log off. You should now get the CTRL ALT & DEL login
prompt - so hit those keys all together.

Enter the User name as Administrator then enter your
password for this account.

That should get you logged on with the Administrator
account. Make sure you have the password that was created
as Windows was installed.
