| | Administrator Account is Disabled. Hi, While troubleshooting a windows vista OS, I found in Computer Management that the Administrator account and the First User Account (created when installed Vista) both are disabled. There are two other standard user accounts. I tried entering one of he standard user account> Right Click CMD> Run as Administrator but it doesn't ask for Administrator password as the account is disabled. I tried the above to use net user administrator /active:yes I am unable to enable the UAC due to the admin rights. How may I enable the two Administrator Accounts? Note: We have the Vista disc. Regards Akshay |

| | Re: Administrator Account is Disabled. Hello, you could try that: Boot into Safe Mode (press F8 before Windows starts) and maybe the Administrator account is activated there. Then, you could change your account into an administrative one. I'm not sure if it works, though, but it should be worth a try. Greetings, P.

| | Re: Administrator Account is Disabled. Akshay If you have a Vista installation disk, go to the following website and use the 'Option 2'. This will allow you to access the Vista recovery environment using the install DVD. This procedure will make the built-in administrator account visible on the login screen and will also remove any passwords on this account. You can then use this account to remove the password on the other administrator account. What do I do: I can no longer log in or elevate to an administrator account: http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administ..._of_admin.aspx You can then log into this account and fix the problems. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Akshay" <Akshay@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:26E59FB6-F1B9-4C6B-987B-E3D06F5B234C@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > While troubleshooting a windows vista OS, I found in Computer Management > that the Administrator account and the First User Account (created when > installed Vista) both are disabled.
