Enabling administrator account in Windows Vista

Sometimes you need to log on into your administrator account on your vista machine. The default setting on the vista hides (disables) administrator user, so it doesn't show up on your log on screen. You can claim back your beloved administrator account by following this procedure:

1. Open up the vista menu by clicking on the windows orb
   
2. Right click on "Computer"
3. Click on "Manage" and click on "Continue" when windows asks for your permission
4. In the "Computer Management" window, navigate to "System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users"
5. Right click on "Administrator" and click on "Properties"
6. In "General" tab uncheck "Account is disabled" item
7. Click "OK"
8. Close the “Computer Management” window

Now the administrator account is shown up in the log on screen.
