dearsir/ma'm:
i just bought a dell computer and i was trying different
settings to learn. i had myself as a computer
administrator and i guess i changed it to a limited
account. now i can't change it back to where i am the
computer administrator. i have gone to the control
panel,opened it up and clicked "user accounts",it says
that when "user accounts" opens that under "pick a task"
there will be a line called "create a new account", and
then choose an administrator account or limited account,
but there is no line called "create a new account" so i
can't change the account. i can delete my old printer and
i can't add my new one. i called dell"s support center and
they can't help me without deleting all my emails and
other stuff i have saved. i am hoping there is someone out
there who might know another way i can change my account
from a limited to an administrative account without losing
all email's and everything.
sincerely yours,
sterling pearce
p.s. i would appreciate it very much.
 
As you may have guessed you need an Administrator to create an
account, any account.
Reboot, tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.
Select Administrator
Go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select your account.
Change account type.

Before you leave, you should password Administrator.
Reboot to get back to normal.
You should password any account that has Administrator access.
You should use a Limited account for routine stuff, and use
Administrator only for Administrative duties.
Take precautions to not lose your passwords.

Well, that just serves you right doesn't it, you illiterate twat? Maybe if
you learned to write, your attention span wouldn't be so short and you'd
atually do something right for once. Take the second link in my signature.
If that doesn't help, get someone to type for you, you moron.
