Default Can't access my Administrative

WE recently are having problems with our computer. I can
get in under my son's name which doesn't have
administrative rights I do. I go to go into my account
and it stays at the bnackground and does nothing. IS
there anyway that I can change my son's to administrative
since I can't get into mine?

Default Re: Can't access my Administrative

Jacki;
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
From there you can select a user and Change Account Type.

If your profile is corrupted, you may also want to create another user
and copy your data to that new user:
