Hi, I'm the only user on my computer and I am administrator also, but I want to log in as administrator. I have been to Run command and type 'net user administrator/active:yes', but when I log off there is only one option to log back in and that is my user name. What do I need to do to log in as Administrator?
Thanks.
Isn't your user name associated with an administrator account?
You could have utilized OPTION One.
Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable
You are attempting to login with the master Administrator account. The command you listed is correct to create a new login "Administrator" account. I am posting a link to the steps necessary to create the account; perhaps you missed something.
(It looks like you may have failed to enter the (space) between "administrator and /".)
It should look like this; ‘net user administrator /active:yes’ without the quote marks
OPTION TWO there instead.
HTH
That option is only available in;
Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions
Not applicable for all versions.

What an idiot.... 1 space!Sorry about that.
Thank you all for the help. Yes, my log in has Administrator Privileges, but I want to log in as Administrator only.
Now, however, I get Error 5, Access Denied.
Hello Alleyoop, and welcome to Seven Forums.
That error means that you didn't open an elevated command prompt by right clicking on the command shortcut and clicking on "Run as administrator". :)
Elevated Command Prompt
Of course.
Thanks for the help, and the welcome, I've logged in as Administrator.
Think I'll look for a good Windows 7 Ebook :).
