Re: How to Enable System Administrator

You must remotly edit registry

Insert your DVD Vista and reboot computer,see Startup Repair but you go to Command Prompt (not to repair computer)
In Command Prompt type

regedit.exe

and then load SAM hive from C:\Windows\System32\config

(see yourself MS article how edit registry remotly Load a hive into the registry: Core Servicesd)
for example you will load SAM hive under HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE as a REM_SAM

Now go to HKLM\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users\Names\<user name> and read what is in the Type column by Default term



as you can see the value in Type column is the sam as a user's identyfication in
HKLM\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users then go to the user's identyfication key and click to F value and will see:


if will be user account with administrative previlliges (i.e your account)
14-account is turned on
15 -account is turned off
other values - some errors

if will be user account with limited previlliges or built -in Administrator account then:


10-account is turned on
11-account is turned off
other values - some errors
after all unload hive and run computer normally
