How to change Vista user from Administrator to Standard User?

I'm logged on as the System Administrator but am still unable to change this users status from %26quot;Administrator%26quot; to %26quot;standard user%26quot;. I'm trying to do this through the control panel, but am not able to. I can choose the %26quot;standard user%26quot; option and click %26quot;change account type%26quot;, but the user remains as an Administrator. It is possible he has used the command prompt to mess with the accounts to his benefit, I don't know. The biggest thing is parental controls need to be enforced quickly, such as program and time restrictions. Until then his account has been disabled, but that won't last long.

This might be a little extreme, but get into Super administrator mode.



Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward. First, open an elevated command prompt by typing cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator ?or just use the shortcut you created in the previous hack.



Then enter this command and press Enter:



Net user administrator /active:yes



From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware that it won檛 have a password yet, so it檚 a good idea to set a password for it.



If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter:



Net user administrator /active:no
