Hi
I run vista

I changed my admin account to a standard user.

There where to other accounts when I checked one was the 'Guest' account and possible a .net account I think I made that one my admin one. Now when I want to switch users to the admin one it is not there as well if I try to do it through manage onother account and enter the password requested I get Longon Failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.

How can I get an admin account back?


Anybody any clue

This should work:
Go to Start/All Programs and right click the command prompt.
Type Control UserPasswords2.
Click Advanced.
Click Advanced again.
Select Users.
Select Administrator and untick the the box “Administrator is disabled”
Now log out and login as Administrator.

As soon as I type Control UserPassword2 in the comand prompt a unser account control window pops up and it asks me for my admin password and when I enter it, it comes up with Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

Any ideas
