- 2). Locate your user name. If you see "Limited account," it means you are logged on to a guest account. If you see "Computer administrator," it means you are logged on as the administrator.
- 3). Click the "Start" menu, click "Logoff," and then click "Switch User" if you are logged on to a limited account. You should see the Welcome screen.

Click "OK" to logon to your computer as the administrator.
