Reactivate an administrator account Solved

Question

Hello

As stated in the title, I have disabled my administrator account using DOS commands on that same account. I turned off my computer and now I have a user choice to select, between my former administrator account and "Other user."
When I try to access my former admin account, it says "your account is disabled. Contact your system administrator."
So I immediately thought the rights were transferred to "Other user," so I tried to log in there, but it asks for a username and password. I tried admin admin, administrator administrator, but nothing works.

What should I do to reactivate my former admin account?

Thank you in advance for your response.
Best regards,
Tylk.

First of all, thank you for responding to my message.

I know this trick but the problem is that I can't even access a single session. So I can't access the DOS.

I put the Windows 7 CD in and in "repair computer" I can access a cmd.
I try this manipulation and it doesn't even recognize my user :/.

Hi tylkaz,

If you have access to a user account, I recommend launching a command prompt and typing this command:

Net user administrator /active:yes

This will allow you to reactivate your admin account.

Give it a try and see if it works.

If you don't have access to any user account at all, I suggest using a live CD, but that will be a bit more complicated.

First, try this procedure and see what happens.

Have a great day

First, the cmd for cd is rather odd, it displays:
Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]

X:\Sources>

When I add a user, it shows me:
The specified user account or group could not be found.

The user account has been created but could not be added to the local Users group.

Would you like additional help by entering NET HELPMSG 3774.

I reboot the PC and I still have the choice between my 2 sessions. This time when I enter administrator as ID and nothing for the password, it tells me: your account has been disabled. Contact the system administrator.

In short, neither account now has rights. Maybe the unidentifiable user has them now. I didn't do your second manipulation, the framework, I'm afraid of losing sight of the rights.

RE
It's normal to see the display with the DVD, X: is a virtual or temporary partition when using the DVD.
Try first typing: C: and press enter to switch to the system partition. Then execute the first command.
Make sure to respect the spaces and replace "account name" with a new name.
Once you are in the C:\ directory, also try:
Net user administrator /active:yes

Okay, I entered the C, I did the first manipulation and it’s telling me again:
The user account or the specified group cannot be found.

The user account has been created but could not be added to the local Users group.

Would you like to get additional help by entering NET HELPMSG 3774.

So if I give it permissions, I won’t be able to enter the new session.

Hello,

I'm reviving this post because I have a similar problem on Windows 10.
The only issue is that I can't start in safe mode.

My one and only user account has been disabled.
However, I can access the Command Prompt. By enabling "super administrator" mode, I thought I could solve my problem. But even though the command works, when I get to the Windows home page, there is only my inactive admin account.

Could this be related to the fact that the console launches on X: instead of C:?
