Hello Experts -<br />
<br />
So we ran into a little quandary. Someone set up a machine and inadvertently disabled the administrator account and then disabled administrative privileges to the only account that is in use.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of a quick little trick to re-enable the admin account?<br />
