How do I get into the Administrators Account?

No Administrators? Help Please?

• No Administrators? Help Please? I wanted to get Parental Control on my main account on my Laptop. (it's administrator) But I can't get it on unless I get it to a standard account. So I added a new account and made it administrator and maid my main a standard. I did the parental control and didn't like it so I took it off. Then I changed the admin back to a standard account BEFORE I changed my main back to admin! So now I have 2 standard accounts and 1 guest account. no administrators. I can't change any of the settings for my other account without an administrator, and I can't add another one. It wont let me. I have to get 'permission' from the admin. Is there ANY way to get a new administrator? Or get one back?

• Answer:

  I can hardly believe this, you will have to reformat your computer, I don't think there is any other way. There is a hidden administrator account in windows vista and windows 7 which is the real administrator, if you haven't activated that account it is hopeless to get the other adminsitrator account back directly from the standard user account. See here on how to activate the real administrator account http://forums.techarena.in/windows-software/1207239.htm You will have to reinstall your operating system anyway
