    Cannot log into windows 7 ultimate after completing and upgrade from windows vista ultimate. This is a standalone home pc not connected to a sever or any network. received the error "You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer, please contact your system administrator".

    searching the web for answers I found:
    Run gpedit.msc.
    2. Expand Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies
    3. Click on User Rights Assignment
    4. Ensure that "Allow log on locally" includes Administrators, Backup
    Operators, Domain Users or Users.

    however I need to know how to do this through the command prompt since I cannot log in

    any help would me highly appreciated.
