Administrator

Well I'll be...I tried to change one of the settings in Vista and it denied
me access saying that only the Admin can make changes...I am the
Administrator...Anyway of correcting this, so I can have full control of
adjusting my settings?

Re: Administrator

I had the same probem and this helped me:

Vista Administrator account: accessing


right click on "computer" and click on manage.
click on "local users and groups", click on "users", click on
"administrator" and right click, click on properties. toggle the box marked
"account is disabled". this should clear this box. now close all windows.
in control panel click on "administrative tools", now click on "local
security policy". Local Policies/Security Options in :interactive logon:"
enable "Do not display last
last user name"

In Vista the Administrator account is the only one really that I have been
able to tell that really has full access. the get to some places you just
have to run apps as Administrator. But at least you will be able to get into
the account when you need to.
