Enabling the local Administrator account on Windows

Sometime during the era of Windows 7, MS started disabling the included "Administrator" account by default. Here's how to enable it in a pinch:

1. Press F8 during startup

2. Pick "safe mode with command line"

3. Log in as ladmin...if you can. Otherwise, not sure what to do -- FIXME ask Roger

4. At the DOS prompt, type:

net user administrator /active:yes

then reboot normally.

5. At login screen, select "Other user", type "Administrator" with blank password.

6. When finished doing whatever you need to do, disable it again via

net user administrator /active:yes
