You want to re-enable a login account in Windows Vista that has been previously disabled or restricted by your brother. But the problem, he  forgot already how to enable the logon account.

Error Message “Logon failure: Account currently disabled”

Open the command prompt as administrator,
Type cmd in the Start Menu Search > CTRL+SHIFT and press Enter

Command to Disable the account

Net user USERNAME password /active:no

Command to activate or re-enable the account

Net user USERNAME password /active:yes

Example:

Net user KungfuPanda p@ndassw0rd    /active:yes
Net user KungfuPanda p@ndassw0rd    /active:no
If there is no password:
Net user KungfuPanda    /active:no

If you want to only hide the User Account for Local and Remote Users, here

Simple? Enjoy!
