I have searched and searched for a solution on this and to no avail.

I had just the one admin user account and wanted to add another, I wanted the extra one to be the admin one and the original I set with standard user and parental control.

Now there is no admin account when I go to switch user, I have tried in safe mode and several other suggestions but what happens is that becoz I have set it as parental control it asks for password to be entered, the password that I set as my admin one, it wont accept as it says 'logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer'.

Im stuck and would appreciate any help
Hello Terra,
Let's stick to Safe Mode for now. When you were in safe mode, what did the screen say and what did you do ? It's important, so be precise. Recreate the safe mode condition again, if you need to.
