hi
i have a windows xp
there are 3 accounts in it
mine,my brother's,and family
but the problem is that my brother(jerk) made my account limited to mess with me
it wont let me install stuff and it restricts me from a lot of stuff
i wanna know if there is a way to change it from limited to administrative account
i dont know how to change it back every time i go to control panel to change it back it only lets me change my password,my picture and my name
nothing else
please help
 
You are trying to change a limited account to an admin account from the limited account? It cant be done, thats the point of a limited account, if you could it would defeat the purpose of a limited account. You will need to change the account's permission level from an admin account.

Have to go on an administrator's account, which is probably your brother's.

If his has a password, I know there is a way to reset them but I personally don't know how.

^LOL he has windows xp, you can crack in 2 seconds!
Open up CMD
type in:
net user (your brothers account name without paranthesis) *
-then it will prompt for password twice and you are set.

Or you can type:
net user administrator *

Its very easy, you can crack anyones account from any type of account weather it be limited or guest :)
