Log in as Administrator even if it's disabled

If you need to log into a server as a local admin but the account is disabled, then you may have tried to boot in Safe Mode and clear the 'Account is disabled' checkbox for the Administrator account in Server Manager/Local Users and Groups.

Unfortunately, Server Manager does not work in Safe Mode. To get around this, type 'net user administrator /active:yes' at a command prompt then restart.
