<div><font face="Lucida Grande" color="#000000">Hi,<br>
<br>
A colleague has somehow demoted the admin account on his machine to
merely "standard". Amazingly enough he can now do very little on
the machine. :)<br>
<br>
I tried creating a new "admin" account but I need an current one
to unlock the padlock.<br>
<br>
Any ideas on how I can "promote" an existing standard account back
to "Administrative" status?<br>
<br>
Happy to futz around in the Terminal or single user mode if that's
what's required.</font></div>
