I have a pc loaded with vista ultimate. I hardly ever use it and now my user
account login indicates that my password for my non administrator (that has
administrative privileges) is incorrect. How can I log in as Administrator
(which passwor I know) instead of the default user?

If you haven't enabled the Admin account before (it's disabled by
default), I don't think you can get into it now without using a utility
to reset the main account. Did you use the recommended password key
backup? Did you write down the password and hide it? Did you use an easy
to remember password before?

If you forgot your password, try doing a google search for vista
password reset.
 
I went ahead and reloaded, but now I would like to find out how to enable the
administrator account so this doesn't happen again. How?
