Sitting there at your computer, you can never believe that you will be so foolish as to lock yourself out, yet logic dictates that somewhere in the world, someone has just done that: locked themselves out of Vista.
Would not they like to know how to activate the administrator account? In many ways this super Administrator account reminds me of the Unix root account. See screenshot below. When you launch this tool it analyzes a users effective NTFS permissions for a specific file or folder, and takes into account network share access, then displays the results in a nifty desktop dashboard!
I was surprised therefore, not to see any such SID number in Vista — until I activated the hidden administrator. One puzzle remained, if, when you initially logon to Vista, can you create as opposed to activate an account called Administrator. John Wolfe came up with the answer. My point is that you cannot have two accounts with the same name, and unlike previous operating systems, before you can logon to Vista you must first create an account.

How do I enable the built in administrator account? Having an administrator account with no password set is a huge security risk. And in some cases this administrator account could be used to circumvent other security mechanisms.
For example, parental controls could not be effective if the child could simply login with the built-in administrator account and do whatever they want, including disabling the Parental Controls. Click the Users folder. On the right side of Computer Management, you should see icons for all of the user accounts created on your computer.
The ones that have small red circles with an "X" through them are disabled. Click to select the Administrator icon, and then right-click it to open its context menu and choose Properties. You'll need to restart your computer and follow one of the following two methods to access Administrator.
For this method, you press F8 as Windows is starting up when the character mode part of the boot-up says something to the effect of "Starting Windows. Once the boot menu is showing, paused for your operating system selection, use the arrow or tab keys to select "Microsoft Windows" the option that runs Windows Vista. Don't press Enter; instead, press the F8 key, and you'll progress to the Safe Mode boot screen. Choose the first option, "Safe Mode" and press Enter.
After a time, Vista will show you the log-in screen with two options, Administrator and Other User. Click the Administrator icon. Running Safe Mode as Administrator both limits and extends your privileges.
But for quick access to the Administrator account, this is about as good as it gets in Vista Beta 2. The second method allows you to log into the Administrator account just as you would any normal account. So you get the full-fledged Administrator privileges in a normal boot mode, not Safe Mode. There's a trick you need to know to make it work. And also something you need to watch out for. Start by enabling the Administrator account in Computer Management just as described above. Remember: Don't set a password in Computer Management for the Administrator account.
