I lost my administrator user

[snk13]

So my dad made me remove my password from my user account on my computer, so when he wasn't looking, I made my account invisible, and added a decoy standard user that he would hopefully not figure out, i need to access my admin account from the standard user account, or enable the CTRL+ALT+DEL feature where you have to log in, but all the ways I know of need administrator access...

Why?

[snk13]

he likes to know everything...

[Teneksi]

if he's any good at knowing everything he'll figure out what you're doing and then you'll be in trouble regardless of how much you're hiding

[snk13]

he wont know, I hide many things but I need to get  my admin account back... when I try to install something, it says to type in admin password but there is no where to type it, you guys might know...

[dorkdotdan]

you could just hidden folders.

You could use Ubuntu to promote your user but I'll let you google that

Maybe he saw your pony avatar and he's worried you might be gay.

[snk13]

he knows nothing about ponies, we are Russian and he barely knows how to use a computer...

he spends almost no time on the internet....
