Re: No administrator account!



Hi Josh,

Boot to Safe Mode and use the built-in Administrator account (this account
appears at the Welcome screen when you select Safe Mode) to change your
sister's account type back to Administrator.

My sister accidently turned her Windows XP account (the only account on
her
computer) into a limited account, so there is no administrator account.
This poses a problem, how can I fix this?
We are using:
Windows XP
Intel Inside Pentium M
Laptop mke: Compaq
