Show Administrator on Welcome Screen in vista

**Anilrgowda** · 22-Dec-2006, 10:32 AM

Go to: Start > Run = " control userpasswords2 " select administrator account, click reset password (input new pass) / Click Ok

Open Registry editor and create this key:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Create "DWORD (32bit) Value"
Value Name: Administrator
Value Data: 1

or

-Right Click Computer Icon Select Manage
-Expand The Local User And Groups
-Rename the administartor account to match the name in the reg file, you can also just leave the
name the same for the admin, but the name must match the reg file.
This is a easier a way, change the "PLACE_NEW_NAME_OR_ADMINISTARTOR_NAME_HERE" to the name you want.

Save As AddAdmin.Reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"HelpAssistant"=dword:00000000
"TsInternetUser"=dword:00000000
"SQLAgentCmdExec"=dword:00000000
"NetShowServices"=dword:00000000
"IWAM_"=dword:00010000
"IUSR_"=dword:00010000
"VUSR_"=dword:00010000
"PLACE_NEW_NAME_OR_ADMINISTARTOR_NAME_HERE"=dword:00000001

Or, the more simple way.

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Users

Double click on Administrator > untick the "Account is Disabled" box. and bam.
