The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. Here
is a link explaining the changes from XP to Vista:

If you mean Safe Mode, F8 should do it.
From the online manual....
Turn on the computer. When the Dell logo appears, press <F8> several times
to access the Vista Advanced Boot Options Window.

Just make sure that you run the cmd prompt in
administrator mode
