Re: Locked Myself Out Of Admin Account

How do I turn parental control off? When its got parental control on it, doesnt that defeat the purpose?

Terra,
Parental Control is not your concern. Regaining access to your computer is.
Do you know how to do system restore ? If you do, do it in Safe mode, choosing the date BEFORE this problem arose.
If you don't, restart you machine, and AS SOON AS you have power on, hit F8 key repeatedly until safe mode screen is on. Choose the option : LAST GOOD CONFIGURATION by using the up/down arrow keys. Press Enter key.
Are you back to normal ?

Re: Locked Myself Out Of Admin Account

Hi t-2-4,

Lets hope System Restore will fix this because Last Known Good Configuration
just deals with pretty much Hardware/Drivers changes.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet

Zinda,

If you need help then please start a new thread. This one is old and when
you reply with a problem even like the OP had, you cheat yourself out of
getting perhaps several responses. Many have already looked over the
original post and have moved on and most likely will never see your post.
