I can't login to my user made administrator account, help!
Hi guys, I had only one user account on my computer up until a few days when I decided to make a user account separately for my younger brother so I could put parental controls on it. My one was an administrator and the new one was just a standard one.
However, on the Welcome screen I can only see user account for my little brother's account XXX and then another option Other User. I filled in my account details username and password but it said "the user name or password is incorrect". However if I go on to my little brother's account and do something that requires the password of an administrator, the password works fine. So I put in the password in the User Accounts panel of the control panel and removed the password from the administrator account hoping I could restart the computer and it would instantly log me in to my own account. However, I still only see my little brother's account on the welcome screen and "Other users". What's worse is that whenever I try to do something which requires the admin password, since I removed the password it says "The user's password must be changed before logging on the first time". So now can I not only log in to my own account, I can't even do things that require the admin password.
The system administrator account has not been enabled so it doesn't work when I try to log in with it.
I've tried to use password reset disks/USBs but neither have worked, I just get a black screen with blinking at the top left if I try to boot my PC using them.
Has anybody got any suggestions?
EDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong section to post in, I didn't know where else to post it.
