Logon To Windows Vista as Administrator.

If for whatever reason you must login Windows Vista with the Administrator account this guide will show you how it’s done.

Warning: Running as Administrator in Windows Vista bypasses all security (UAC) and is NOT recommended. If you decide to use the Administrator account don’t complain when you start having problems.

Enable the Administrator Account

1. Open the command prompt with Administrative privileges by opening the Start Menu, type cmd in the search box, and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open cmd with admin rights.
2. Type the following in the command prompt and press Enter after:

net user administrator /active:yes

3. Restart your computer and logon as Administrator.

Note: You might want to set a password for the administrator’s account for at least a little protection.
