W7 no admin account

Hi

I installed a computer and configured it, then before sending it off, I made the current user 'standard' i.e. I removed its admin rights

Now the PC is half way across the world and I can't get do anything with it because I forgot to enable the admin account

What is the simplest and quickest solution to enable the admin account or to give the default user admin rights ?

thanks

OK, so you have any account, that have admin rights?
RDP to the machine and try, enable rights.

GPO our PowerShell, i guess its possible.

By GPO, if you have any group in AD (admin rights), you can create a GPO and wait for replication.
