As title says.. How do I logon as Administrator using remote desktop..
I have a laptop and 3 Dekstop PC's all running windows 7 etc.. I can create accounts on my Desktops and connect to them via remote desktop.. But I cannot connect as the administrator..
The problem I have is that all my work, folders and programs are on the Administrator account as Im the only user. If I can only connect by setting up a new user I cant use any of my files, folders and programs..
When I say "connect to desktop" it asks for username & password.. My Administrator account doesnt have a password.. Although I have tried setting one on the desktop and using "Administrator" as the username and then my newly set password.. But I cannot log in.
Im confused!
What am I missing ?
