Unhappy How do I get back admin account?
I got a trojan on my vista home premium system recently and I have now lost my admin privileges to the computer. I can't install the programs needed to remove the trojan or anything else I used to be able to do. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get my computer back to normal. I'm worried about what they might be able to do to it.

I've tried to create a new account but I no longer have permission to, tried several cmd commands and I keep getting told I dont have permission. Will running in safe mode get me my account back?
