I was asked to restore an emachine. I did.

 

How do I turn on the security tab in the property window of a folder or a

file?

 

I am using admin ID of administrator privilege. I just can't seem to get at

the built-in administrator ID. can't create nor delta, nor change

password. I need an command prompt command to change the password and

enable it.

    Hi GS,

     

    You have to boot into Safe Mode in order to access the built-in

    Administrator account.
