Vista - Locked Myself Out Of Admin Account

I have searched and searched for a solution on this and to no avail.

I had just the one admin user account and wanted to add another, I wanted the extra one to be the admin one and the original I set with standard user and parental control.

Now there is no admin account when I go to switch user, I have tried in safe mode and several other suggestions but what happens is that becoz I have set it as parental control it asks for password to be entered, the password that I set as my admin one, it wont accept as it says 'logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer'.

Im stuck and would appreciate any help

Hello Terra,
Let's stick to Safe Mode for now. When you were in safe mode, what did the screen say and what did you do ? It's important, so be precise. Recreate the safe mode condition again, if you need to.

When in safe mode I tried to create a new user account, change the current user account, system restore, everytime I tried to do something it asked for password from Admin Account, when the password is entered it gives the message, which is the same when trying to do anything in normal mode 'logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer'

I aslo did cmd, right click, run as administrator, and it asked for the password and gave the same message.

I appreciate your time

Hello Terra,
Sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant to ask: what did you see on the screen FIRST thing when you were in safe mode. Were you asked to logon like you would be in normal mode ?

No, I was just at the desktop

OK, you must be on built-in admin account, without password. Try to create a new admin account, and when you are asked for admin password, just click OK button, no password. Does it let you in ?

It doesn't even give me the option of creating a new account, only make changes to the one I have.

Hello,
OK, what changes are offered to you? First thing you want is a password that the system will recognize ( don't know what happened to your first one. I can't figure that out, yet). Once it is accepted, then change that account to admin account. Are you allowed to do all that ? Remember no password when you are prompted, just either click OK, or hit ENTER key. Man! I'm fishing now.

NO, WAIT. Remove parental account controls First. Then change password, then change to admin account.









f

it just lets me create a password for my account, and change the picture, everything else must have a password entered as I have set this account with parental control. But when I type the password that I set it wont accept it and gives me that message that says the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.

Its all to do with the parental control im thinking??
