Re: Admin Acct IS NOT in User Acct's



In XP Pro I do have admin access...however, I can't even get on IE. Likely
because I have to set everyting up, i.e. my DSL connection, etc.

** Can I use the re-install version of XP Home to help recoup my
administrator acct?

If not, I will likely just use my HP laptop.

Thanks,

B Blake

Log in as the Administrator in Safe Mode and create a new user with
administrative access *while in safe mode* and then boot into normal mode
and log on as that new user with administrative access.
