    Help me, account types.
    « on: November 09, 2008, 07:59:06 PM »
    I need help please, okay this is what happened, i was trying to change my administrator account back because some of the people who use it besides me thought it would be funny to demote me with a little program or whatever..idk how they did it but oh well. anyway i just used pcloginnow from www.pcloginnow.com to change my account back to administrator privilages, well, i used it, and changed one of the accounts to administrative privilages, but i accidently chose the account i let other people use thats supposed to be a user, so i go notice it has administrative rights after a while and im like oh crap so i try to get rid of the administrative rights but it keeps saying "error, specified account name is not a member of the local group" when i try to remove them from the administrative group in local users and groups, and i've already tried to do it in safe mode and it wont even let me go to the tab in safe mode....oh yeah i forgot to mention pcloginnow changes a user account to administrator, but it wont let you change an administrator account back to a user....please help.

      well assuming this is windows OS we're talking about, you just log into windows and get the 'administrator account' you want to change and change it to user account?

      And assuming that your pcloginnow software has restored your main account to administrator privilege?
