Only have option to logon as Guest account

Post by thewolfe »

Running Windows 7 and it will only let me log on as "Guest". How the I get a login screen for the admin? Switching users only gets me to the Guest account. it's not allowing me to install any new programs and probably a lot of other things I haven't tried yet. Also won't let me in "netplwiz".


BTW..... Happy new year!

Find the real user and log in with it?

Otherwise system restore back to a point before it broke.

And if you disabled system restore, format, reinstall and this time don't disable system restore.

Note, you can usually run system restore from the windows 7 disk.
