X-Trap Need help from a COMPUTER GUY
Okay i know i did a stupid thing on my computer. This is what happened....I changed my admin account to a limited account(the one i was using all the time and playing crossfire) and another account to a admin and now I cant find the admin on my computer. There is no option to create a new account.
So you may think this is not a issue but you need to be on the admin account to load the X-Trap. I have tried going to safe mode but my dam keyboard off and doesnt let me use my arrow keys to get to safemode option. I also tried rebooting i have the CD but i need a admin account to use it. So i need help locate my admin account.
I am using windows xp home edition version 2002.

Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList
Use the File, Export option to backup the key
Create a new DWORD Value named Administrator
Double-click Administrator, and set 1 as its data
Exit and reboot
use this account to make your current account a system administrator from the control panel -
Aternatively, reboot the system into safe mode by pressing F8 immediately after the system POST. Use the built-in Administrator account. By default this account has no password on windows xp. Note that this account does not show up under a normal boot, you need to use safe mode.
From there you should be able to get to control panel/users and fix everything. -
He said his keyboard doesn't work in the boot menu, a common problem for most USB keyboards.[MOD]Greycloak wrote: »Aternatively, reboot the system into safe mode by pressing F8 immediately after the system POST.

If you've got an older model keyboard lying around that doesn't use USB, you can use this to select Safe Mode. -
you do not have to boot to safe mode to access the administrator account :P
It is NOT recommended to use this account for daily use and should be deactivated after its purpose is served.
This account serves as a crutch to a crippled system, in this case I assumed he needed to make himself an administrator on his account. -

I think ur getting some where but i cant create a new DWORD value. There is a error saying : Cannot create value: Error writing to the registry. -
