You must remotly edit registry

Insert  your DVD Vista and reboot computer,see
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91467-startup-repair.html  but you go
to Command Prompt (not to repair computer)
In Command Prompt type

REGEDIT.EXE

[/B]AND THEN LOAD *SAM* HIVE FROM *C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG
(see yourself MS article how edit registry remotly 'Load a hive into
the registry: Core Services'
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759303.aspx)d)
for example you will load [B]SAM *hive under *HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE* as a
*REM_SAM*

Now go to *HKLM\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users\Names\<user name>
*and read what is in the Type column by Default term

as you can see the value in Type column is the sam as a user's
identyfication in
*HKLM\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users *then go to the user's
identyfication key and click to *F* value and will see:

if will be user account with administrative previlliges (i.e your
account)
14-account is turned on
15 -account is turned off
other values - some errors

if will be user account with limited previlliges or built -in

(http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs231&d=08362&f=administrator755.jpg)
10-account is turned on
11-account is turned off
other values - some errors
after all unload hive and run computer normally

In case you did not receive the cd with the system. Then go in the
advanced boot options menu & then press enter on Repair Your Computer.
It would ask you to login. Once you have done that. You can run startup
repair.

Enable Built-in Administrator Account
First you'll need to open a command prompt in administrator mode by
right-clicking and choosing "Run as administrator" (or use the
Ctrl+Shift+Enter shortcut from the search box)

Now type the following command:
net user administrator /active:yes

You should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log
out, and you'll now see the Administrator account as a choice.

You'll note that there's no password for this account, so if you want
to leave it enabled you should change the password.

1-net user administrator /active:yes and restart the system.
2-other option is boot the system from erd cd.
3 other option is right click on my computer go to manage select local
user
go to administrator right click on it go to properties enable the
account.
