At some point in the past I had deleted the primary Administrator account, I
do however, have an account that has administrator access. but when I attempt
to go to this one folder it tells me I do not have permission. Is there a way
to restore the administrator account? I have tried the cmd line trick, no
good. But as I said I do have administration access, just..not to this
folder. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
 
You can enable the built-in Administrator account if you really want to, by
running the Command Prompt as administrator (right click its icon and select
Run as Administrator; click Continue at the UAC prompt) and typing the
following:

net user administrator /active:yes

This causes the Administrator account to appear on the Welcome screen. Note
that it does not have a password set by default; the first thing you should
do is set a strong password for it.
