So assuming this is the case: [LIST] [*]Sign-in [*]Now in your [B]search box[/B] type [B]command[/B] [*]In the [B]search results[/B] - [B]right-click[/B] on [B]Command Prompt[/B] and select [B]Run as administrator[/B] [*]When the [B]User Account Control[/B] appears click [B]Yes[/B] [*]In the [B]Administrator: Command Prompt[/B] console [B]type[/B] the following: [/LIST] [INDENT][CODE]net user Administrator /active:yes[/CODE] Press [B]Enter key[/B] [B]Sample of what the above will look like - [U]Make sure it is the Administrator: Command Prompt!
