Trouble:
One of our readers Akhilesh submitted a problem “In my system administrator account is disabled and I have a local user account,but I have no admin right.please give me some solution”
Such a problem can be solved on two ways, one is to Reset the administrator password and login using Administrator account. First way is already published here.
The other solution is to “Promote your user account to gain admin rights.” In this post we will cover this method, which provides administrator rights to the user by promoting the user account.
