Today I am going to show you how to enable the administrator account on Windows Vista. If you are receiving a message on Windows Vista stating that you do not have enough priviliges, then this fix is for you. The Windows Vista administrator account is disabled by default. You can try enabling the administrator account on Windows Vista pretty quickly.
Enable the Administrator Account on Windows Vista
1. Open the command prompt with Administrative privileges by opening the “Start” Menu, and typing cmd in the search box then press “Ctrl+Shift+Enter” or click the “Start” orb, go to “All Programs”, then “Accessories”, and right-click “Command Prompt” and select Run as administrator.
2. Type the following in the command prompt and press Enter:
net user administrator /active:yes
3. Restart your computer and logon as Administrator.
You might want to set a password for the administrator account for at least a little protection. You can disable the administrative account, for added security when your finished performing the tasks that required administrative privileges. To disable the administrative account run the net user command demonstrated above while logged on an account with administrative privileges but not as the administrator account and replace yes with no.
