    Hi All

    New to this forum & need HELLLLP!!

    A pair of little fingers at home went into the user account page and changed my log in from administrator to limited access. I am the only user on my laptop. As a result of this there is no administrator shown so i can't so certain things in there!!

    Can anyone advise as to how i can retrieve this?

    Many thanks

    Steve

    Prohibit us from helping "too" much on this subject...If the account that was changed was Not the system admin account, you can try booting into Safe Mode and using the System Admin account.
