| | Can not disable the activated administrator account in Home Basic Hi, all. I am using vista home basic, PC is from HP. I have used "net user administrator active: yes"command line to enable administrator account to install some software, but now I want to disable the account to ensure the security of sytem, but failed! After I input "net user administrator active: no" using command line running as admin, I found the account of Admin has been protected by password in the control panel, and I NEVER set up any password on this computer yet. Then I restarted the computer, the DAMNED admin account is still there and I have to log onto it with password! If not, I have to log onto another user to delete the password! What can I do to disable the admin account? Where is the admin password from? What is it? The most secure action is to set up a strong password of admin, and then run the OS every time as a common user? But now the number of svchost.exe processes has increased up to 15! That slowed down the computer.---I just want to go back to the disabled admin account status.. |
