Help: Admin. User Info. Changed on My Computer

[BenKenobi]

This. I second the vote for keylock. I had to do the same myself. Keylock will override the changes you made.

I found this today and would like your opinions as it sounds too easy:

start pressing
the F8 Key until you see a black screen menu. Select the Safe Mode option,
using the Arrow keys and press Enter.

On the login screen, you should see the Administrator account. This account
does not have a password associated with it. Click this account icon and the
system should boot to Safe Mode. Be patient, safe mode can take a few
minutes to load.

Once the system is loaded, go to Control Panel / User Accounts. Select to
“Manage another account” select one of the Standard accounts and then select
to “Change the account type”. Change the type to Administrator.

Reboot and log on with the account you just changed. Always make sure that
you have at least one administrator account configured on the computer.

Yes. That should work IF you didn’t set a password for the ‘Administrator’ account.

BUT, if you did, then just type ‘Admin’ and try to logon on.

Or try to boot up normally and hit ‘Ctrl-Alt-Del’ twice to take you to the ‘logon’ screen and do the same thing.

Hope this helps.

Gotta run.. Sleep time.. I get up at 1am for work..

Thanks all for your help.

Looks like I will have to do a re-install of my system. Am not in a hurry though as long as I have my internet up and running and can do what I need to do.
