Re: how to roll back user acct. from limited to admministrator



For XP Pro, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen, with no users logged on. You'll get the older style Windows 2000 logon dialog. Enter Administrator and any password that you may have set up on the default Administrator account. If you're unsure, just try leaving the password blank.

For XP Home, boot the computer in Safe Mode (see Help and Support). The built-in Administrator account will appear on the Welcome Screen.

By mistake I have chagned my user acct. from adminstrator to limited without
creating a new administrator. As such I could not have full administrative
rights. Even I can create new user acct. as there is no such option after
this change. I have tried all processes known to me including DWORD in
registry but I have been refused saying I do not have administrative rights.
Pl.suggest how can I roll back from limited to Administrator again.
