Hi I really need your help because I think I messed up my system. I got confused with the profile accounts on my computer. I am using Windows Vista and while on the process of adding the other account, I enabled the parental controls. And somehow both of my accounts were switching to a standard one and when it is asking for an administrator password, there is no place for me to type in. The OK button is not highlighted as well. Could anyone please tell me what to do? And also, how do I turn off parental controls?

Regarding adding another user account, I assume you are trying to add another AD account to be your local administrator user group, if this is the scenario, follow the steps below: 1. Logon your computer as a member of local administrator group; 2. Click Control Panel->User Account->Manage User Accounts, and then click Add. Hope it is helpful.
