Hello Todd. Unless I miss something, there is no such thing as
"disabled" account. You can either ADD or REMOVE an account." No matter
how many user accounts you have in the system, you HAVE to have 1 active
Admin. account in existence. " Password for user account doesn't work"
is relatively simple. Logon to an Admin.account, and change the user
account's password. But that's irrelevent unless you can explain the "
disabled " part. Please reply.

OK I managed to get into the Admin account of the domain. But the Admin
account of the machine is disabled. I tried to enable it and it says it does
not meet the password criteria. Where do I go to set the password? I don't
see Administrator in the user list.

Hello Todd. I'm still confused about the "disabled" part. But forget
that. You'll see a link at the end of my post. The link is for you to
call on the Real Built-in Administrator, and you can log on to it and
reset a new password for the user account. READ the tutorial carefully.
BEFORE you do that, just to satify my curiosity, do one thing for me.
Restart your computer, when you come to the logon screen, how many
accounts do you see, and how are they labelled? i.e. Administrator
account password protected, User account password protected, etc. I'm
dying to know.

In Vista, the master Administrator account is disabled by default. If there
is no other user administrative account, it should be automatically enabled
in safe mode. Try booting to safe mode and seeing if you can then log in as
administrator. If you have made any user accounts with administrator rights
this will not work (i.e. safe mode will not enable the built in
administrator). You will then have to resort to password recovery tools.
Note however, a sudden inability to log using a known password often
involves registry damage and is not simply a password issue.

For general info: To enable the built in administrator account in Vista run
the following in a command prompt:
net user administrator /active:yes
(You must of course do this from another administrator account or the master
one in safe mode.)

I tried the "net user administrator /active:yes " and got "Check the minimum
password length blah blah blah"

Hello GTS. There is no doubt who is the authority here. I'm just a
common user. This is a good oppertunity to learn from you. I must have
misinterpreted the tutorial whose link will be posted at the end. In the
tutorial, under the Change Safe Mode User Account LOGON, it says " If
you do not have another user account, then you can enable the built-in
Administrator account while in Safe Mode to have available when you Log
Off." That seems to be in contrast to what you said. Would you be so
kind as to set me straight? Thank you.

Just to add to this I was told by the user that when he tried to sign in it
said something about "Trust Relationship" was broken. not sure what that
means. but when his password was reset it said the same thing.

Sorry for not telling this in the beginning but I was just told that now.
