Ronald,
You either need to download a third-party software that does the job, or you do the following instead. Restart the PC, hold down F8 once you enter the Windows® Boot Menu choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt, and now type in the following: net user root /add net localgroup Administrators root /add net localgroup Users root /delete The first command adds a new user called “rootâ€, the second command adds that user to the Administrators group and the third command removes the user from the Users group which leaves him in the Administrators group. If this works for you then once you get back into Windows you can create a Windows Password Reset Disk. Information is below. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windo...reset-disk Thank You, Dell-Jesse L Dell Social Media and Communities Ads |
