How to Re-enable Administrator Account in Vista Without a Password?

Context: In Windows Vista, the hidden Administrator account can be a lifesaver in certain situations, especially when you forget your password. Enabling this account without a password can be a bit tricky but doable.

Answer: To re-enable the Administrator account in Vista without a password, you can use the Command Prompt in Safe Mode. Here's how:

1. Restart your computer and continuously press F8 before the Windows logo appears to enter Advanced Boot Options.
2. Select 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt' and press Enter.
3. When the Command Prompt window opens, type 'net user administrator /active:yes' and press Enter.
4. Reboot your computer and you will now see the Administrator account.
5. You can log in to the Administrator account without a password.

It's important to note that this should only be used for legitimate reasons, such as regaining access to your own system. Always ensure that you set a strong password for the Administrator account after gaining access.
