How to enable the built-in administrator account in Vista Home PremiumLast week, we provided instructions for enabling the built in administrator account in Vista, but unfortunately, that method (using the Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in) doesn't work in the Home editions of Vista. Instead, you have to use the command line. Here's how:
Restart your computer and press F8 during startup to invoke the boot menu options
Select Safe Mode with Networking
Log on with an administrative account (such as the one you created when you installed or set up Vista)
Click Start and type cmd in the Run box
At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active
Close the command window This should enable the built-in administrator account.
