Did what I usually do on XP: created dummy user w/admin, drop real user to
limited, hide dummy via registry. On XP, this gives "Administrator" and real
user login icons on the login screen - nice and tidy. Not Vista. Still only
shows lowly real user.
Now, I have no way to undo it. Login only shows real user, no admin.
Ctrl-Alt-Del no longer gives place to type in hidden user name, all admin
operations ask for a password but nowhere to type it. No luck via safe mode.
From recovery panel, regedit shows nothing I did, so can't unhide dummy
account that has admin.
Help! How can I (1) edit the registry w/o admin privs, or (2) add another
user or activate administrator account w/o admin privs? Machine is not part
of a domain.
