Try to disable User Account Control, first: http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm
That was the culprit. With UAC off I was able to enable the hidden admin account and make my changes. Worked like a charm and now I can do it all by myself. I learn something new every day around here.
Tons of Thanks !!!  :)
