double-click it and set the value to 0. If you don’t have that entry, create it:

Edit | New | DWORD (32-bit) Value. Close the Registry Editor and reboot

the computer. That profile should work.

If the profile doesn’t work, then the next option is to create a new user

account to create a new user, so that’s what you’re about to access. To

activate the super-secret-hidden local administrator account, type the net user

command and press enter:

net user administrator /active:yes
