I cannot log in to my administrator user account
Click start Control Panel.

Click "OK."
Set All Accounts to Administrator
Still in the UAC section of Control Panel, select "Manage another account," and click on a user account.
Click on "Change the account type." When working with multiple accounts, some changes can only be made if you and the account holder are both logged in with "Administrator" accounts so you need to change all user accounts to "Administrator."
When you are done making changes, you can change them back to "Standard," but always leave at least one "Administrator" account.
Select the "Administrator" radio button.
Click "Change Account Type" at the bottom right.
Repeat this procedure to change each user account to "Administrator." When all user accounts have been changed, close the Control Panel.
Create a Full Administrator Account
Click "Start" (the Windows Vista icon in the lower left of your screen). In the Search box, type "cmd". Right-click on "cmd," and select "Run as Administrator." An elevated command prompt window will appear.
At the command prompt, type "net user administrator /active:yes", and press "Enter."
Choose a password and assign it to the "Administrator" account, by typing "net user administrator 'password'", where 'password' is your selected password. For instance, if your password is "abc," type "net user administrator abc". Press "Enter."
Type "exit" and press "Enter."
Log off. When you log back into your "Administrator" account, you will have full rights.

what operating system ? and what type and brand of computer desktop laptop ?
Often many users will leave the administrator account alone or have other accounts with administrator rights. If you're not logging into the computer as administrator or have other accounts follow the below steps to reset your other accounts password.
Reboot the computer into Safe Mode.
When logging into Safe Mode you should be prompted with an option to what account you wish to use. Select the Administrator account. If prompted for a password try pressing Enter on the keyboard for no password. If this does not work, try other passwords you may have used. If you're unable to log into the Administrator account skip to the next suggestion.
Once you've logged into the Administrator account open Control Panel and User Accounts.
In User Accounts select the account you wish to change the password for, click change password and then enter the new password or click remove the password to remove the password from the account.

Login With the Administrator Account in Windows XP Professional
Click
the "Start" menu and then click "Log Off."
Click
"Switch User" when the prompt screen opens.

Log On as An Administrator in Windows Vista
Start your computer and
allow it to continue through its startup process. By default your computer will
simply load directly to the primary user account (usually the administrator
account), but if there are multiple users on the system it will load to the
account login screen. Use the mouse to
click on the administrator account from the list of available accounts to log
on. This step is only necessary if you've customized Windows Vista with more
than one account or you have set the operating system to load the login screen
first. Enter the password
required in the password field to log on to the administrator account. Click the
"OK" or "Log On" button once you have entered the password.
This button may be labeled differently depending on the version of Windows Vista
or any GUI (graphical user interface) changes you may have made.
Log on as an administrator from within the Windows
Vista environment by clicking on "Start" and then "Log
Off." As soon as you have logged off, you will be returned to the login
screen where you can choose the administrator account from the available list.
