| | Logging on as Local Administrator If you are having trouble logging on as the built-in Administrator account under 5308, you will need to make some registry modifications to display the Administrator account. - Log in using the account you created during the Windows Vista setup process.
- From the Start menu, click All Programs and then expand Accessories.
- Right click on “Command Prompt” and click “Run as Administrator”.
- Click on “Allow” from the Windows Security dialog.
- In the Command Prompt window, type “regedit” (without the quotes) and press Enter.
- In the Registry Editor, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Add a new key called “SpecialAccounts” (without the quotes).
- In the “SpecialAccounts” key you just made, create a sub-key called “UserList” (without the quotes)
- Make sure you are navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
- In the “UserList” key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) item and name it Administrator.
- Double click on the new DWORD item and set its value to 1.
- Close Registry Editor and the Command Prompt.
I'll export my key later and upload it. PS: I would password protect the Built in Admin account. |
