    Administrator is disabled. Help

    Accidently I disabled administrator account and now I have just one user
    guest account with limited privilegies. I know administrator's password but I
    can't reenable it. How to reenable admin with guest account?

    Boot to Safe Mode (F8 struck repeatedly, during the 'black screen' after the
    BIOS screen)
    The default "Administrator" account usually has a blank Password.
    User Accounts in Control Panel will add a new admin account.

    I tried boot safe mode, but then nothing appears. no admin, no user, nothing

    Try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del twice and see if you get a Logon box. Booting
    on to the installation via the Recovery Console will also re-enable the
    built-in Administrator account. If that fails there are free third
    party reset utilities that can re-enable the account.

    Don't bother with the Recovery Console, the information I gave is
    incorrect, you will be able to logon but the account will only be
    re-enabled for the RC session, it will be disabled again after you logoff.

    Ctrl+Alt+Del on safe mode helped. I loged on like admin and reenabled it.
    Thanks for all

    That probably means you are in Administrator mode... on my computer
    there are no user accounts and I am alway the administrator.
