I have searched and searched for a solution on this and to no avail

I had just the one admin user account and wanted to add another,
wanted the extra one to be the admin one and the original I set wit
standard user and parental control.

Now there is no admin account when I go to switch user, I have tried i
safe mode and several other suggestions but what happens is that becoz
have set it as parental control it asks for password to be entered, th
password that I set as my admin one, it wont accept as it says 'logo
failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at thi
computer'

Im stuck and would appreciate any help :

Hello Terra
Let's stick to Safe Mode for now. When you were in safe mode, what di
the screen say and what did you do ? It's important, so be precise
Recreate the safe mode condition again, if you need to

When in safe mode I tried to create a new user account, change th
current user account, system restore, everytime I tried to do somethin
it asked for password from Admin Account, when the password is entere
it gives the message, which is the same when trying to do anything i
normal mode 'logon failure: the user has not been granted the requeste
logon type at this computer

I aslo did cmd, right click, run as administrator, and it asked for th
password and gave the same message

I appreciate your time :

Hello Terra
Sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant to ask: what did you see on th
screen FIRST thing when you were in safe mode. Were you asked to logon
like you would be in normal mode

OK, you must be on built-in admin account, without password. Try t
create a new admin account, and when you are asked for admin password
just click OK button, no password. Does it let you in

Hello
OK, what changes are offered to you? First thing you want is a passwor
that the system will recognize ( don't know what happened to your firs
one. I can't figure that out, yet). Once it is accepted, then chang
that account to admin account. Are you allowed to do all that ? Remembe
no password when you are prompted, just either click OK, or hit ENTE
key. Man! I'm fishing now

NO, WAIT. Remove parental account controls First. Then change password
then change to admin account

it just lets me create a password for my account, and change th
picture, everything else must have a password entered as I have set thi
account with parental control. But when I type the password that I se
it wont accept it and gives me that message that says the user has no
been granted the requested logon type at this computer

Its all to do with the parental control im thinking?? :cry
