    « on: February 04, 2013, 03:58:51 AM »
    Hello,

    There is 3 accounts on the pc and none of them are admin.
    I need to be have admin privileges to unhide the administrator account xp creates.

    First, there HAS to be a default admin account on your system already. If you are the only user you need only log into the primary admin account. Second, if you are not the admin you cannot create a second admin account. You'll need to speak with the administrator.
