In the control panel it is only showing this one user so what do i do? I cant install anything and havnt got a clue how to switch back to administrator. Please can someone help me? Thanks Regards KylieI think you have to be an administrator to CHANGE the user settings. Wait a bit and someone will come with a definite answer.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on June 16, 2007, 01:28:39 AM I think you have to be an administrator to change the user settings. Wait a bit and someone will come with a definite answer. Thanks..the existing account was the administrator account but was changed to limited so now that is the only one there. Therefore i cant even add new user as dont have privelage to do so.. you should be ABLE to access the back-up administrator account. You should be able to press Ctrl+alt+del when you get to the login screen. In the username box, type in "Administrator" and it should login.
