How to logon to my system administrative

Dear All,
I am new to windows vista. So I created an account and made it as
administrator. Then within this same account I install a software but
unfortunately it doesnt work. It says that I required the system
administrative to allow this program. The problem now I am stuck I dont know
how to login into this administrative I know in xp it is ctl + alt + del. So
I have tried using the method of net user via the cmd prompt but
unfortunately when I log off I still dont see the real administrative login.
Please help I need this urgently. Thanks in advacne.

When you use the net user command, make sure you are using an elevated
command prompt.

Go to Start / All Programs / Accessories. Right click 'Command Prompt' and
select the 'Run as administrator' option.

In the command prompt window, type the following command:

net user administrator /active:yes

Press Enter.

Hi Newbie,

See if this tutorial will be able to help you with the the solution Ronnie gave you. You need to logoff before you will see the new Administrator icon picture displayed.
