| | unable to access "local settings" At some point in the past I had deleted the primary Administrator account, I do however, have an account that has administrator access. but when I attempt to go to this one folder it tells me I do not have permission. Is there a way to restore the administrator account? I have tried the cmd line trick, no good. But as I said I do have administration access, just..not to this folder. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance |

| | Re: unable to access "local settings" You can enable the built-in Administrator account if you really want to, by running the Command Prompt as administrator (right click its icon and select Run as Administrator; click Continue at the UAC prompt) and typing the following: net user administrator /active:yes This causes the Administrator account to appear on the Welcome screen. Note that it does not have a password set by default; the first thing you should do is set a strong password for it.
