    Hello ladyfire,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    I enclose a link below that is specifically for this issue.  Please let me know if you still experience problems, or if the problem is resolved.  How to use system restore to log in Windows Vista when you lose access to an account.  If you are unable to connect to Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  • Lockout C drive. Cannot change the permissions, cannot not disable the user account control, unable to open the access control editor, cannot change the property.

    While trying to change the folder permissions for a second user on my computer, I did something that I lock my C drive.

    When I log in with the administrator account, I get the following popup:

    C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    I am not able to access denied drive from C to all 'access '.

    When I right click on the C drive and select Properties > Security tab > go on, said the popup "cannot open the access control editor. Access is denied. »

    When you select Properties > Security tab > advanced > owner tab > continue, current owner says "unable to display current owner. Can not change, cannot be changed.

    I can't turn off user account control, nothing happens when I click the icon or the text.

    I was able to create the 'hidden' administrator account, but I can't do anything from there, either.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    How to remove a Vista user account - even if you do this, you should check as well
    for malware.
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/93026-user-account-delete.html

    Even if you do not see the virus on your other profiles, it might be in areas that will subsequently
    cause problems in the other profiles. It would be preferable to eliminate malware from the machine
    that can be done without using the profile infected from an ADMIN account.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Need to change user account control settings, but cannot access (windows 7Prof.-64 bits)

    Hello

    With Windows 7 Professional 64 bit laptop

    I am the 'Standard user' and the only user of my laptop.  I don't know if I have an administrator account.  I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).  But I remember he was causing Windows always show both accounts and choose one to log-in to.  I didn't want no choice since I am the only user of the laptop, so I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.

    There are so many programs that I can not open because the user account control box "do allow you the following program to make changes...?   The choice of 'Yes' is NEVER highlighted or available - that the choice of the 'no' can be clicked.  And the same dialogue box asks also but it is not a place to type the password "Administrator".  I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.

    And I am referring to all kinds of programs that can not open, as "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" that I downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.  Or I went into control panel 'User account', but try clicking on 'Change settings User Account Control' brings the same view, "do allow you the following program to make changes to the computer?  Or when, on the page of computer system, I can't access 'Advanced System Settings' due to the same dialog box.

    How to solve this problem?  I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.  I looked through other similar topics here (only Windows 7 partners), and some seek to make changes to the registry.  It's very intimidating for me.  I'm not a computer scientist at all, but fairly intuitive with the computer.  The problem cornered me.  Another opinion on a thread is said to use "Fix It".  This program is no longer available (we now 2016).  I also experienced this problem all this time but am pretty frustrated and wanted to try the job.

    Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?

    I hope someone can provide some less intimidating process that touch the registry to fix this.  I really appreciate it.

    Thank you!

    Massachusetts

    I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).

    -> Yes, you did.

    I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.

    -> It was a bad decision. It was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. There is a much better method to avoid the choice between multiple accounts.

    I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.

    -> You had an admin password when your first install Windows.

    I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.

    -> It takes 30 seconds to remove this choice, without loss of the admin account.

    Some seek to make changes to the registry.

    -> Hacking the registry does not restore your account admin. 'Fix It' will not fix it either.

    Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?

    -> Your first step must be to determine what accounts you have and whether they are active. It is done as follows:

    1. Mark the first line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
    2. Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
    3. Marks of the second line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
    4. Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
    5. Open the desktop Accounts.txt file, then copy & paste its contents into your answer.

    cmd.exe /c users > '% userprofile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt '.

    cmd.exe /c net localgroup administrators > '% userprofile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt '.

  • User account control comes not when you click on

    I have Windows 8 on my computer.

    I have parental controls on my computer. This means that I am not an admin, so when I turn on all the programs that require the approval of the UAC, it didn't work. I have disabled UAC thought, it would be useful, but now I can't run anything (pictures, videos) at all. When I try to click on the button of the UAC in the Control Panel, it does nothing. What should I do?

    Hi HavocNades,

    This problem may occur because of the limited user account authorization. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

    You must connect to an Admin account and make changes accordingly. User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your PC that require administrator-level permissions. By default, UAC is set to warn you as soon as apps try to make changes to your PC.

    What are user account control settings?: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/what-are-uac-settings

    Response with the State of the question and we will be happy to offer you our help.
