need administrator...but no administrator

[Guest century.dave]

I created a new user but forgot to add member to admin. I changed computer

to a new WORKGROUP and restarted computer. Now I can only log on as new

user without admin priveleges and cannot restore because I don't have admin

priveleges. Because there is only one user in this WORKGROUP, there is no

admin. and I can't log on to a different WORKGROUP.

 

WHAT TO DO?

Try this link. It shows you how to enable the real admin account and log in

as the real admin and add your newly created account to admin group.

And this other tutorial

http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administration/locked_out_of_admin.aspx

adds a few different workarounds.
