Best Answer

The account "Administrator" has the description "built-in account for administering this computer". This is your local admin account, when logged into it you can access everything on that computer. This account is simply for that PC and you will need an additional account for editing Network Settings.

Can't Change my Computer Vista account into Administrator. an account appeared called Administrator and when i log into that account to change my original account back to administrator is won't let me?

"Administrator" is a built in account that comes with Vista. What it sounds like you are trying to do is change the name of your account to "administrator" or create a new account called "administrator" but that name is already taken by the built-in account - you can't have two accounts with the same name, even if one is called"Administrator" and the other is called "administrator". You should be able to create a new account and assign administrator privileges to it in Vista. You can even call it something close to "Administrator" - something like "administrator1" would probably work. You should also be able to change the name of the built-in account, but the name "administrator" may still be reserved and not available for you to use even if you change the name of the built-in Administrator account. I'm not at a Vista machine where I can test it out.If the problem is an inability to create an administrator TYPE of account, then you are faced with a different problem and something is wrong with the OS

How do you delete the administrator account when your back up is a stander account on windows 7?

On Windows 7 you must have at least one administrator account at all times. If your main account is a standard account, that's fine, but you must also keep an administrator account. In fact, it is recommended that people use a standard account for everyday use and only use an administrator account when needed (for example if you're going to install or uninstall any programs). You canNOT install/uninstall programs with a standard account, and there are lots of other things that you cannot do with a standard account, which is why at least one administrator account is needed. Just use a password that you can remember for the administrator and don't give it to anyone.
