Aminastrative accounts

[Mike]

I inadvertantly changed my adminastrative account to
limited. I now do not have an adminastrative account on
my system. I cannot do any updates or make any changes
on my system. I tried everything in the user accounts,
but to no avail. Can someone please help me with this

Aloha,

Try these steps:

By default a user has the administrator previlages when in
safe mode. Therefore, restart the computer and repeatedly
tap the F8 key until you see the Advanced Start menu,
choose safe mode and when in safe mode, make necessary
changes to the desired user account.
