[Vista] undo admin lockout ?!?

I was having an issue with Sony Ericsson PC suite (no uninstall of any sort) and had to log in as admin (the real one) to try and get the dive arse program off of my computer...

I mistakenly hit the lock button instead of the power off button....whammo, admin lockout.

How in heck do I undo this action ?

passprop /noadminlockout does NOT work in Vista.

Anyone, bueller ?

Well, I've long since figured it out.
Obviously no one here cares, so I won't post the details.

Shame on dslreports, pity eh ?

Hmmmm, really?

Maybe since you posted this on a Sunday afternoon, no one that knew the answer was here or just didn't see it.

I just recently found out about the admin acct so I didn't even know that you could lock it. Care to post your fix for other posters that may run into this problem later down the road?

Push the power button on the PC which shuts it down. When you turn it back on it boots back into it's normal working profile.

No kidding, who would of thought that!!!!
All you did was lock the desktop and simply typing in the Admin password wouild of brought you back to the desktop.

You really never locked out the Administrators account, as the topic header implies.
