    Hello,
    I did a STUPID move today!! I changed my admin pass word according to Steve Gibson show on TWIT..... Naturally , now I can't access my acct.
    I copied it down very, very carefully?? Still can't log in.
    Is there a way to solve this? I have access to my standard acct. but will need admin. rights soon.
    A cmd way of getting into net user, I've heard of, but don't know how...GRAHHH!!!!
    Any help most appreciated.
    John in Dallas.

    Further to Steve's post, the command you are looking for: NET USER Administrator * /ACTIVE:YES

    But... you'll need the admin password anyway.
