Accidently I disabled administrator account and now I have just one user
guest account with limited privilegies. I know administrator's password but I
can't reenable it. How to reenable admin with guest account?
Windows XP SP2- NTFS
 
Boot to Safe Mode (F8 struck repeatedly, during the 'black screen' after the
BIOS screen)
The default "Administrator" account usually has a blank Password.
User Accounts in Control Panel will add a new admin account.
 
Try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del twice and see if you get a Logon box. Booting
on to the installation via the Recovery Console will also re-enable the
built-in Administrator account. If that fails there are free third
party reset utilities that can re-enable the account.

Don't bother with the Recovery Console, the information I gave is
incorrect, you will be able to logon but the account will only be
re-enabled for the RC session, it will be disabled again after you logoff.

Ctrl+Alt+Del on safe mode helped. I loged on like admin and reenabled it.
Thanks for all
 
Hello,

That probably means you are in Administrator mode... on my computer
there are no user accounts and I am alway the administrator.
