Administrator on Vista computer cannot change account policies.

Posted: 05-24-2007, 01:09 AM
New Vista computer. Log in as Administrator. Check in Control Panel, user
accounts, manage user accounts, select Administrator and look at properties
then group membership and ensure Administrator is in fact an Administrator of
the local computer.

Then go to Administrative tools (from control panel) and start local
security policy. Go to Account Policies and cannot change anything in
password policy or account lockout policy. The selections are greyed out.

How do I change them?
