Can't log into administrator

I was setting up my son's new computer. I had his profile as the standard
user with parental controls and mine with what I thought was administrator
control. I shut it down and now we both are standard users. I can't do
anything on mine or his. What can I do.

Hello,

This is a great guide with information by Ronnie Vernon (MVP).
It may help you restoring administrative rights.

Greetings,

Hi Paolo

Just to keep things straight. The article on that website was authored by
MVP Jimmy Brush, not me.
I only helped with some of testing for those procedures.
