No Administrator Account

northern_neck · 01-26-2008

I am new to Vista and I created an account when I set up the computer. I then set up another user account for the administrator and changed the first account I set up to a regular User account. (I am thinking this is where all or part of my problem is.)

Now my problem, when I log into Vista, the only account that shows up is my user account and I can not see my administrator account. When I go to switch users it is not there. Now my son is trying to load software and it will not let him and is asking for an admin password. When I type the administrator password it is giving an eror message "Logon Failure: the user has not been grated the requested logon type at this computer."

I am at a lost now. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon
