Mmm, have that problem too... Some friends just left us after a dinner and my wife just shouted to me "what are you doing at the computer now!?". Time to answer her in "elevated" mode? Nahh... It does not work all the time

Enable the Administrator Account
1.Open the command prompt with elevated privileges by clicking the Start orb, All Programs, Accessories, right-click Command Prompt and then select Run as administrator.
2.Type net user administrator /active:yes and then press Enter.
3.Restart or log off your computer and log in as Administrator

Or the graphical way (though I like the command line version you suggest ):

Right click computer, select manage, go to "Local Users and Groups" and then select the folder "Users", open the Adminstrator user and uncheck the "Account is disabled" checkbox... But you really should be fine by putting your "real" user in the Administrators group?

I tried your way Maz, but I don't see "Local Users and Groups" after selecting manage.

I was maybe too fast - "Local Users and Groups" is actually under the top level "System Tools" category. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) - are you maybe using some Home edition that does not have this alternative?
