All admin accounts are disabled (vista)
Hi
i have following problem. Accidently I have disabled my only admin account (the build in one is disabled per default). How can I enable the build one account?
I have searched forums and proposed solutions do not work for me:
- net user administrator /active:yes --> returns error 5 access denied
- safe mode does not provide administrator login possibility
- when i login with user account (safe mode) I can reach Computer Managment (within control panel), but trying enabling any of admins says "Workstation service has not been started". Within Services tab I could not start this service
- trying to start msconfig from cmd failed because I have no admin rights (it asked me to type login and password of admin)
.... and I have also tried something else what I do not remember right now
What I have is:
1) Windows Vista Ultimate
2) no instalation CD (using ThinkPad where I install it per button press)
Hope I have missed some idea which works. COuld you help me?
