TweakUI Auto Login Problem

Hi,
I setup TweakUI on an NT4 workstation, set it up logged in as 'administrator', told it I wanted it to auto login as 'user', rebooted, and it logged in fine. However I now want to install some software, so I need to login as admin again! How can I do this? If i select 'Log off & Login as another user' from the start menu, it logs out then straight back in again as 'user'. I can't disable TweakUI through control panel, and I can't uninstall it, as 'user' does not have admin privialages!
Anyone have any ideas?
Regards
Ben

Use a 98 Boot Disk.

Cd\windows

del *.pwl

Then reboot normally.

It should stop on the logon screen and let you key the user name and password you want to use.

I believe the auto-logon is bypassed by holding down the SHIFT key as WinNT starts up.

Is there a way to just take this setting out?? No one uses my PC but me.
Thanks
Mary
