I have just loaded Windows 7 Ultimate and my account has been locked out. I tried running the command net user administrator /active:yes from the command prompt in the repair mode option. It come sback and says that the commend was completed successfully but when I restart I do not get the option of logging in as the administrator. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong

Yeap. Make sure you have another user account with admin rights before you disable it.

Khanw – you need to type the whole thing in, so yours would read:

C:\Windows\system32>net user administrator /active:yes

I am getting different error message (Windows 7 home premium)

C:\Windows\system32>/active:yes
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

That really seems like an overly complicated and convoluted way to keep your son locked out. There are simpler and more elegant ways to do what you’re trying to do, but that’s not really the point of my reply.

Why go to such effort to make sure that he’s not looking at anything “wrong”? By acting so weird with that kind of stuff, all you’re doing is fetishizing it, making it out to have some sort of weird power, so that when he’s old enough that you can’t keep him out anymore, he’ll be more likely to become addicted.

Even given that, I don’t think that anyone is going to turn into some sort of perverted or violent monster because of something they saw on the internet when they were 14. If they do end up that way, I think there are other explanations.
