I am running Vista Home Premium SP 1

I have done this:

1. Orb
2. All Programs
3. Accessories
4. Right-click command prompt
5. Chose "Run as administrator"

c:\>net user administrator /active:yes

I get:

---------
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.
---------

Have also tried variations, such as:

c:\>net user administrator/active:yes
c:\>net user administrator /active

Nothing works.  I just get this message about about:

------------
The syntax of this command is:

NET USER
[username [password | *] [options]
-------------

IMHO you have to do it the other way.
1) Click Start and type 'lusrmgr.msc'. Hit 'enter'
2) Under 'Users' right-click 'Administrator' -> Enable->OK.
  2a) optional: Right click 'Administrator' -> Set password... and set
Administrator password
3) Open 'cmd' and type 'runas /USER:Administrator cmd'
this will ask you first the password for administrator if you have set
one in 2a. Then you will get another command prompt under
Administrator privileges.
In this prompt you can run 'net user administrator/active:yes' or 'net
user administrator/active:no' to deactivate it.
