Run As Administrator

[elfiidler]

hi
i activated the administrator acount but i felt it was slowing down my computer so i tried to delete it by typing in cmd "net user administrator active:no"
then whenever i tried to install something it asked for a password. i typed the password but it denied me access. now i cannot run cmd as administrator,nor can i install any programs!
any ideas plz

Can you go on SAFE MODE ? If yes, do a system restore in Safe Mode, use the
date prior to disabling the built-in admin.
Hope it works.

I can open safe mode but how the system restore ?
if it helps, i turned on my computer then pressed f2 and then f8,opening up the system repair. I clicked on restore system and restored it but it didnt go back far enough !

When you are in Safe Mode, look for System Restore, NOT system Repair.
When the system restore window opens, look for the line that says " choose a
different restore point ".
Click the dot in front. The dot should now turn blue.
Now click NEXT.
A new window will open up with a list of activities. Each activity has a
date at the front.
Choose the date BEFORE you disabled the built-in admin. Click that date.( If
the dates shown are not far back enough, click the box at the bottom that
offers restore points older than 5 days.)
Click NEXT.
Click FINISH.
Now sit back and wait. When it is done, it will ask you to login again.
Try to do your " install " again. See if it works this time.
Hope this will help.

To "elfidler":

"System Repair" is not available in Safe Mode.

To find System Restore, click the "start orb", and type RESTORE in the
search box.

OR... click Programs, Accessories, System Tools.

You might want to right-click it and Pin it to the Start Menu while
you're there so it will be easier to find next time.

i did the above, however the popup asking for the password for the administrator account came up as usual (this happens with every program or toll with administrative restrictions on). as usual i tried every possible password i may have changed it to but i believe the problem is that i tried to remove the administrator account but the computer (vista home premium) still believes it is there when it isn't.please help! im desperate !!

Before you enter Safe Mode are you presented with a screen giving you
a choice of logins? If so, and if one says "Administrator", choose
that one.
