Hi -
Are you using an elevated administrative cmd/DOS prompt -
START | *cmd.exe*
Another method that may work - activate the hidden admin account -
From an elevated admin cmd/DOS prompt -
*net user administrator /active:yes
Log off your account; at the logon screen you'll find the Administrato
account.
To hide the account after use, change YES to N
Regards. .
