As I said, I couldn't see the user account in the user accounts dialog when
I logged in as administrator. You can't change the account type for an
account that you can't see.

It doesn't matter. I found out you can add a user to a user group manually.

NET LOCALGROUP <groupname> <username> /ADD

Thanks anyway.
