Accidentally disabled account administrator Windows 8.

Hi all

I have a problem that "accidentally disabled 8 Administrator Windows account. The case is now that I only have one Standard account here that I can connect with this account, but due to the STANDARD ACCOUNT, I can not activate the ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATOR.

I know the NAME Admin and PASSWORD. But turning off the Admin account, I don't find any Option on SIGN IN .

IF anyone has the answer, please answer...

Thank you

Prem

The built-in Administrator account system is supposed to be disabled.  If you have administrator rights, create your own account under another name (not "Administrator") and give him those rights.

The built-in Administrator account system is automatically activated when you start in safe mode.  So follow these steps:

  1. Press the Windows key + i to display the settings.
  2. Click the Power Options icon., then hold down the SHIFT key while you click the restart option.  Give him a few moments.
  3. On the first screen, select Troubleshooting. then click on Advanced Options.
  4. On the next screen, select Start Settings , and then click the restart button.
  5. On the next screen, press the number 4 key.  The computer starts in Safe Mode.
  6. Click on the arrow icon, and then select the administrator account.
  7. After the Safe Mode boot, open Control Panel / user accounts.
  8. Select Manage another account , and then select the account you want to switch to an administrator account. Select change the account Type. Select administrator , and click the button change the account type .
  9. Exit control panel and restart the computer.
  10. Log on with the account that you changed to an administrator account.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • How solve 'cannot log in to my administrator account on Windows vista?

    I try to change my password in safe mode. but seems still does not...

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I accidentally deleted the administrator account I created when I installed WIN 7

    Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum.

    I understand the inconvenience caused to you. I will certainly help you in this matter.

    1. At the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yes , then press on ENTER.
    2. Type net user administrator , then press on ENTER. Note: Please replace the tag with your passwords you want to set for the administrator account.
    3. Type exitand press enter.
    4. Restart the computer.

    Now, try to create a new Local Administrator account

    Once done, you can now disable the build-in the administrator account.

    Follow these steps:

    1. click the button Start , and then type cmd in the search box.

    2. in the list of research results, right click on cmd and then click on Run as Administrator.

    3. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / active: no and then press ENTER.

    4. type net user administrator < password=""> , , and then press on ENTER.

    Note: restart the computer to make the changes.

    Let us know the results. Thanks for posting for further assistance, we'll be happy to help you.

  • I accidentally deleted the administrator account while trying to get rid of administrator privileges - HELP!

    I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges for that when I'm on another user account he don't ask me the password, or install all the files that I had the intention of this account to the administrator account. I used the command net user administrator / active: No.

    I'm not quite sure if I completely deleted the account or hidden in some way, but now whenever I try to do anything that requires the administrator password (almost everything) I don't even have an opportunity to choose Yes to enter and only the no option I can't change any settings on the computer at all by using a user account This being via CommandPrompt, Panel etc. I'm at a complete loss as what to do.

    (Also, if someone was uncertain, the account Administrator is not visible on the screen to connect.)

    I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges

    -> Order net user administrator / active: No. will do exactly what it says: it allows to disable the administrator account. That is to throw the main key to the safe. Here's how you can reverse this reckless action:
    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the administrator account.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, even you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    Hello

    Start the computer in safe mode and start the desktop.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

    Then perform the following steps:

    A: right click on my computer, and then select Properties.

    B: then go to Manager of devices and then, on the Action menu, click scan for hardware changes

    Hope that helps.

  • Built-in administrator or an account administrator of the user created in Windows XP Professional?

    It is best to use the built-in Administrator account or a user created the administrator account in Windows XP Professional? Please provide details. Responses invited experienced users.

    You may not use the built-in account named Administrator on a regular basis.  Instead, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges  When you do so, the built-in Administrator account no longer displays on the home screen (which is to encourage you to leave it alone).

    You can also create an account 'limited' for regular use.

    Why not use the built-in Administrator account is that, sometimes, going to be damaged.  It is much easier to recover from a user account damaged if there is a good administrator-level account.

    If you use the administrator account on a regular basis and it is corrupt, you'll have a more difficult recovery.
