no administration account

Susan

If the administrator account has been changed to a Standard User you should
be able to access the built-in administrator account in Safe Mode.

Reboot the computer and as soon a the system starts to initialize, start
tapping the F8 Key until you see a black screen menu. Use the arrow keys to
select Safe Mode and press Enter. It will take a few minutes for Safe Mode
log-in screen to appear. On the login screen you should see an account
called Administrator. Click to log-on with this account, there is no
password by default on this account.

When you are logged on, you can go to Control Panel / User Accounts, select
the Standard account that you use and then click on "Change your account
type". Select the Administrator option and click the "Change account type"
button.

Exit Control Panel and reboot.

After installing a software, I've lost the administrative privileges on my
personnal account. I've tried to login as the administrator via the safe
mode. I've loged in successfully but the surprise is that the administrator
account is considered as a guest account.
So now my computer is not usable til I don't have any adinistrative
privileges on my PC.

Excuse my bad english.
Thanks.

Hello,

what does "not usable" mean exactly?
Here's a guide for you (Step 1 obviously didn't work correctly for you, so
try from Step 2):

Good luck!
