Question

I can only access the christopher, account.If i try to type in administrator it wont let me access it,i only just recently made the christopher account?can anyone tell me why this happens?

Answer 1

Hi dude,

         remember admin account will be visible only when there is any password and when you dont have any more accounts, this can be observed at the time of OS installment..

Once the OS has been installed then if you would have created the admin account with password then it will prompt for the password else it will login automatically...

coming to your issue..

When you get the logon screen then press ctrl + Alt + Delete and a window appears where you have to enter the username as administrator and password if any is been applied..

and am sure it works...

check it out...

Answer 2

open the control panel then user accounts.than open the change the way users log on or off. click out the use the welcome screen.try rebooting the chages made.

Answer 3

first off computers don't make accounts all by themselves. you either got drunk and made the christopher account or someone hacked your computer and made it. we need to know does the christopher account have admin privileges? if not the person who made it decided you were'nt resonsible enough. you can either use your recovery disk and reformat/ reinstall windows or you can try booting in safe mode by tapping the f8 key right after you hit the on button. i think you can make a new adminaccount p/w in safe mode but i may be wrong. personally i'd just do the reformat/reinstall. and this time get a firewall and antivirus security at the minimum.

Answer 4

Try booting into safe mode, and accessing the admin account from that.

The only other explanation is that the admin account is passwrded, and you don't know the password; there are various ways to remove the password, but none are especially easy. Unless, of course, teh other account is a member of the administrator group - in which case, it's a doddle.
