Problems with my administrator?

[Linkz]

FWIW: Something tells me that there is more to this question than meets the eye.

You should look at the message I quoted about four posts up.

Linkz: You should start your own thread, that way we can keep this one focused on helping the original poster.

my apologies, i didn't actually mean to start a thread.

Aren't there other accounts available for you to log into?

If you have a guest account only, then go to the following MS site and read:

Good luck

thanks for your help. but, there isn't any how to log in as an administrator if I only have a guest account. thanks

Seems like at this point you might consider backing up your important stuff and doing a clean install.

If you aren't an administrator on the machine, that would imply someone else is.

It appears this is the most logical condition, ask the Administrator, in that case would be the only answer.

Then the only thing to do is put the Win 7 DVD in the drive, start the setup, format the drive and start over.

I must say that for a administrators account to turn to a guest account is very unlikely.

Good luck.

There is another thread dealing with your problem in MS-TechNet. Please consider making a backup of your registry before you make any changes to it.

Good luck

Really if you read that thread John posted it simple states that NO on e was successful in regaining access to there Admin account and or files and folder.

Same yourself a lot of time and FORMAT that drive.

It is the ONLY solution.
