| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: No administrator account on vista Hello Andy, See if when you boot into Safe Mode that it will boot you into the built-in Administrator account since you do not have an administrator account anymore. Safe Mode If it does, then you can change that account back to an administrator type account. User Account Type If it does not, then you can try a repair (upgrade) install to get a new administrator account. Repair Install For Vista Hope this helps, Shawn  Quote: Originally Posted by andywlim  I used to have an administrator account and one standard user account.Then, I accidentally changed my administrator account type to a standard user. so now i have no administrator account on my vista home premium.
