Hello,
First of all, thank you to all the community members that
make this a viable source for not only venting but finding
solutions.
First, this message is essentially a duplicate of one posted yesterday.
I received an email notification that there was a reply to my post,
however I spent way too much time looking for it. Anyway here's the issue.

I have upgraded from XP to home premium, the administrator acct is disabled
and apparently I didn't have any other accounts created under XP, as the only
account I can log into is the guest account. Safe mode does not work as I get
a message stating that the computer cannot connect to the Sens service,
contact
my administrator!

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Go to the following website for instructions on how to recover from a
situation where you can no longer access any administrator account. There
are several scenarios there that you can use.

What do I do: I can no longer log in or elevate to an administrator account:
