Log On As Administrator

Posted: 03-04-2007, 09:57 PM
Hi all
I am a user of Home Premium on my laptop but have Ultimate on my desktop. On
both machines I am the sole user.
In the latter I have made the administrator account visible for log on. I am
trying to do the same in Home Premium and can not find how to do it. I have
read most of the postings of this group and logged on in Safe mode as
someone suggested but in that mode I was only offered my user logon

If your goal is to bypass all of the new security features in Vista, this is
not a good idea.

That said, you can try the following on the laptop.

Go to Start and type cmd. In the programs list, right click cmd.exe and
select Run As Administrator. Type the following command.

net user administrator /active:yes (Note the spaces and colon)

Press Enter.
