I have Windows 7 utimate edition on my PC, After a long time i work on my PC i am not able to log into my "Administrator" account, when i check the "Administrators" localgroup i found it have two account with the name "Administrator" and "user".
Since "Administrator" account is disabled in Win 7, i try to activate it through command prompt in safe mode with standard user privilage i always got message 'System error 5 has occurred. Access denied'.
I tried to change "Standard User" to give permission of "Administrators" still the 'Access denied' message.
Whenever i try to change any thing on my PC, popup comes up to enter password of account "user". I forgot this account's password.
I do not have password recovery disk. I tried to boot my PC from USB still no success as "Standard User" can't change boot option.
Please help me, i searched and applied many online solutions still no success.

Possible duplicate of How to get rights of admin after I disabled all admin accounts in my computer. Before you indicate this is not a duplicate, please read the accepted answer, because the instructions provided are indeed applicable to a Windows 7 installation. The only difference is you would use a Windows 7 ISO instead of a Windows 10 ISO. To reiterate the fact, being an Administrator, is not required to enable the built-in Administrator.
