    User account change


    Hi can someone please help me with this, i have a Windows Vista PC x64 and i usually create 2 administrator right accounts and one standard user account on my pc, unfortunately for me i deleted one of my adminisrator accounts and so i was left with one and i upgraded my Vista to Windows 7 Professional sometime yesterday, i am not really sure how, i lost administrator priveleges in the account, so now i have two standard accounts but no administrator and the default administrator password has been changed earlier and i dont remember what it is, how can i change one of my standard users to an administrator. Now anytime i try to install something i can't because i have no administrative rights, i cannot afford to format, because i will lose a lot of programs that i have paid for, i cant even back up the keys because i have no administrative rights can someone please help me. It would be greatly appreciated. Is there a command i DOS or some form of a recovery disk that can help me out? I had not made a restore point when i upgraded so that was could not help either

    Hello Aaron, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if using a Peppermint 3 live DVD/USB may allow you to be able to back up anything that you do not want to lose before having to reinstall Windows.
