| Guest | Built in Administrator account disabled? I had a user come in with a new toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium. I downloaded the newest version of ConfigFree - a wireless utility to connect to ap's. Anyway, I downloaded the utility but couldn't install it due to a permissions issue. I checked the account - Owner is the name but doesn't have enough permissions to install this utility. Is the Admininstrator account disabled by default? How can I enable the account if the one and only account on this laptop cannot install this wireless utility? |

| Guest | Re: Built in Administrator account disabled? I was able to enable the administrator which worked great but after logging with Administrator and installing the new version of ConfigFree wireless utility for the Toshiba laptop stopped on a particular service. I decided to cancel the update and use the existing version on the laptop and was able to connect to the staff wireless side of our network. Thanks again for your help. "Brink" wrote:
