    Default Creating A True Administrator Account For Vista

    Click on Start and type cmd in the search bar, you will then see the cmd option at the top of the start menu.
    Right click on the cmd option and select "run as administrator"
    the cmd window will now open
    Type (without quotation marks)
    "net user administrator /active:yes"
    Hit Enter and thats it
    Log out and use your new administrator account

    To disable do the exact same but type "no" instead of yes

    To password protect your administrator account while creating it type your password after net user administrator, for example
    net user administrator password /active:yes

    Hope this is of use to someone
