Hi,

Cant remember the password to and old pc I had, and the admin account is not enabled.

I used a Win 7 install CD to access command prompt and type the following:

net user adminstrator /active:yes

Got the message this completed successfully, but still the admin account is not visable on the log in screen, in normal or safe mode.

Help appreciated.

Is there another way to access admin account? Am I being stupid and missing something vital?

Is there a way to change my pw via the command prompt

Thanks
