User Accounts can't be set to Administrator

Go back to the stage where you found out the " change account type " button
was greyed out. It was so because you had the step-by-step mixed up. See the
heading that says " Standard account "? In front of it there is a BLUE dot
? Now look to the heading that says Administrator? In front of it there is a
BLANK dot ? Click that blank dot and the blue dot moves in. YOU ARE NOW THE
RIGHTFUL ADMINISTRATOR ! Remember the greyed out button, not anymore. Click
that and you are a confirmed Administrator. yOU ARE BACK IN BUSINESS.
