try safe boot (f8) if good type cmd in search>right click run as admin< net user administrator /active:yes
it that doesnt., boot from win 7 dvd and use shift f10 to get to a cmd prompt. then type net user administrator /active:yes
if that doesnt work let us know

Just tried safe mode, but it still asks me to enter the user password. As for the win 7 dvd, my laptop came preloaded with win 7

Just successfully helped another member activate the Default Administrator account here:

The other solution is to download software to edit NTFS passwords.

Live CD

I always use live boot CD's for this makes it pretty easy to edit or remove passwords


passwords only stop the novice!
