Account has been replaced by admin for comments and now I can't change it back.

Windows 7 Administrator account

I have a new HP laptop that has Windows 7 as operating system. It has a single user. The user account inadvertently changed directors to comments. I can't the computer to allow me to go back to an administrator. Whenever I try to change whatever it is a window opens asking if I want to allow the program to make changes. The only available on the window button is a no button. It requires an administrator password, but has no place to type any password. It does not do any type of recovery or repair without this same window poping up. I tried in safe mode with the same results. How to restore the administrator account?

Here you go:

  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 downgrade your own account (equivalent to throw one and only the main key to your House).
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

    The worst thing is that I had to reinstall my OS after this incident, as my MBR went in the process...
    Another funny thing is that I was not able to install Windows 7 back and I got the error

    WE MUST DO TWO THINGS.

    Now, all that remains is to make the system of 100 MB partition an ACTIVE partition. To do this:

    DISKPART > select partition 1< the="" 100mb="" system="" partition ="">

  • Should Microsoft Vista drivers operate printer Brother HL-1240? I recently downloaded updates for Vista, and now I can no longer print on my printer Brother HL-1240.

    Drivers Vista MSN

    Should Microsoft Vista drivers operate printer Brother HL-1240? I recently downloaded updates for Vista, and now I can no longer print on my printer Brother HL-1240. Updates are perhaps the cause of this problem? If this isn't the case, please let me know if I get the problem somewhere else.

    Hello

    Your question is could a Windows Update may be charged a wrong Brother Printer Driver? Yes.

    One way to know is to look in the history of updates to see what has been installed and uninstall then one that seems incorrect.

    If you are an update of the Microsoft printer driver note that Microsoft updates pilot equipment for other manufacturers are not normally updated.

    Here's how to uninstall specific updates;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    If an update is the problem and stop it reinstall > list of updates to install > right click on the incorrect update > UAC prompt > and then click Hide.

    See you soon.

    p.s. Always get the latest updates of the driver from the hardware manufacturer.

    Also would it be a good idea if above does not work to download the last direct Brother printer driver; If necessary reinstall your printer...

  • Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL. I tried to remove anything that is related to AOL and when restart Firefox... There are once again AOL. I even reinstalled Firefox... He was there again.

    Where AOL is displayed - homepage?

    I think the first thing to check is if you have any modules related to AOL. These can replace your regular settings. You can view and disable all extensions essential or unknown here:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Note that in most cases, you should use the link to restart Firefox to actually disable the extension that you have chosen to disable.

    Then, to fix your homepage, try the procedure described in this article: How to set the home page.

    If there is a problem with your suppliers of research from Google for AOL, try this extension:

  • Driver webcam has been removed from the Dell computer and now am unable to fix it.

    Original title: Webcam Dell problem

    Hello

    I have laptop Dell Inspiron N411Z. Dell did not provide users with any webcam device drivers and windows update does not install the drivers by itself. In addition, it happened that windows update installed the driver webcam last time and webcam works for two days after that I don't know how but the driver has been removed, or I don't know exactly what happened.

    If call us Dell they ask us to install Dell central webcam which has nothing to do with driver (I don't know what kind of support they have).  If there is no driver Dell webcam central does nothing.

    I don't know exactly how it goes, but if windows update installs the driver which means driver exists. If anyone would be able to send me or give me a link to the Dell webcam driver?

    I hope that Microsoft would be able to help me with this. I tried what you might think. I installed windows several times. There is no imaging device in Device Manager in case someone wants me re-install the drivers that I said before windows ever installed the drivers. I just need an .exe file that runs my webcam.

  • HOW to: I miss typed my real account name and now I can't change it without losing my settings.

    This is not a question that assistance for others on how to change the account name Live in Windows 8 and keep your windows 7 settings.

    I misspelled my email when I made my Live account for windows 8. I got all my settings and the transferred programs to Windows 7, but it was in an e-mail that does not exist.
    I found that the best way to solve this problem is to do the following:
    • Go to settings (move the mouse to the upper right) > change PC settings > user > switch to local accounts
    • Journal of market to the local account.
    • Go to the same position and "Switch to live account", now make a new live account with the email on the right.
    If you just made a new account without using the switch function you will not get your settings transferred with you.
    I see it as good maintenance to remove the live account that you created, but I don't think that you need.
