    No administrator rights


    Ok , we have done a dumb thing.. turned off administrator rights on users and also on the administrator ie. no administrator rights at all. Cannot turn them back on. Do I have any other option but to reload windows 7?

    I was thinking you could activate the hidden Admin acct to change it back


    <<edited -- realized after the fact original suggestion would be denied by Windows and of no help -- apologies>>


    If it will not allow you to this with a limited acct, perhaps try a system restore?

    Hello Sainttrout, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if doing a system restore at boot using a restore point dated before you did this may be able to undo it for you.

    Hope this helps,
