Stuck as standard user

Someone please help me here as I am new to Vista. Vista made me setup 2
users, 1 Administrator, 1 standard. My logon screen only shows the standard
user and I have no way to change to the administrator. Any idea on what to
do?

Thanks
Kevin

Re: Stuck as standard user

Hello,

try following method #2 here:
Reset User Account Password
The only thing you should try differently is that you'll have to change the
standard user account to an administrative account (and not reset the
password).
