From what I've read I'm guessing I'm screwed until I remember the password but just in case..
I was in the built-in admin account and decided to switch the account types of my two local accounts. The one I always use I changed to standard, the one I never use to admin. Then I re-hid the built-in admin. Now I realize I don't remember the password for the now-admin account and can't install anything or restore the pc.
I know the built-in admin password but can't unhide the account. I can't use 'runas' in cmd because of group policy settings, don't have a windows install disc (or working disk drive), don't have a usb drive and can't boot up to cmd without the password.
Is there anything that will let me use the built-in admin password to bypass the user admin or a way to activate the account from a standard user?
Now back to trying every password I've ever used for anything...?
