Having major problems with a) logging into Windows 7, which started when an automatic logon process suddenly introduced User screens, and b) a disabled Administrators account.
Now after bootup I immediately get a green screen with
"You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer.."
After clicking on boxes, I get to a choice between "Guest" and "Other User" - and then can enter and get into "Mike/ no password" account and open the Win 7 desktop.
However, when I try to run "netplwiz" I get the permission screen for altering programs - with the YES option blanked/not available. It asks me to type in Administrator password - but gives me no option/box to do this.
So the Administrator account appears to be disabled, and I appear to have no way to alter that - no capacity to run system-altering programs or netplwiz.
What can I do to sort out this double problem? Many thx.
P.S. I ran a Password Reset Disk - and have all the passwords for the user accounts - and the capacity to alter them, but that doesn't appear to be the problem.
