• Second laptop connect only with the guest account

  I have an E1500 which replaced a broken WRT54GS. I have a desktop office computer using the ethernet cable to the Internet via a DSL Modem and I have two other laptops, one is a Macbook Pro running Lion and the other is a Toshiba running WinXP SP3 using two Wi - Fi connection. Before installing the E1500 all three computers were able to connect to the internet via my secure connection, but now with the E1500, I can get the Mac to connect using my secure WPA2 Personal connection and the Toshiba will connect through the guest account. I lived the configuration wireless for the Toshiba providing several times I put in good properties wireless and network key, but it does not connect. The process of connecting Macbook was a blink of an eye without any problem. I also get Windows XP wireless connection properties back to default (WEP), because it will not hold personal WPA2 settings, but even if it contains personal WPA2 security settings it does not connect. I was also able to connect the Toshiba with the ethernet cable, without going through the wireless network.

  Why can I connect via the guest account and not via my connection on the Toshiba? Help someone?

  Thanks for the detailed explanation.

  I had actually just this solved tonight with about 2 hours of chat with Linksys. It turns out the Windows SP3 XP Toshiba doesn't have a true WPA2 - Personal encryption, only the WPA - PSK (pre-shared Key), while the Macbook Pro has WPA2 Personal. The whole system runs on a hexadecimal code 63. I got the router located on only WPA2 Personal. When I changed (manual) WPA/WPA2/joint, then I had two computers on the network. But then came another problem, when I connected with the Macbook, Toshiba has lost its connection with an error message - "IP address conflict with another system on the network. That proved to be the setting of the channel on the network. The channel was not sync from the old Linksys router configuration. Changed to channel 11 on the router to synchronize with the Macbook Pro and that has been resolved. There is no option for channels on the Toshiba that I can find.

• I forgot my password for user windows 7 with no admin account, but only got the guest account

  I have accidentanly I forgot my user password. But my laptop has no administrator account, just guest account. How can I reset my password with the guest account never? Or can use the disk? Can what type of disc I use? What can I do? Please... someone help me?

  What to do if you forget your Windows password

  If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you are not on a domain (most of the individuals are not on a domain), you can reset your password by using a reset disk of password or by using an administrator account.

  Reset your Windows password:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/reset-your-Windows-password

  If you forget the administrator password, and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password. If there is no other user account on the computer, you will not be able to connect to Windows and you will need to re - install Windows.

• DOWNLOAD SECURITY with the GUEST ACCOUNT?

  How to lock any ability to download anything on my computer when it is in the account "guest"?  I thought that GUEST accounts are locked to add all the software?  As an experiement, I just downloaded Yahoo Messenger on my 'Guest' account and it worked!  (I think it would have let me NOT download and install)

  I went to 'HELP' and he said that everything must be locked on - so, how Messenger download and has been on my PC that I was in the guest account?  Help!  For security I want to lock my pc, so guests can not put anything unwanted on.  WebWatcher, Spyware, etc.  Thank you!

  There are applications that install on the local profile only.  Which; s the way some applications become around the UAC stuff.  They do not affect anything other than the GUEST account.

• Aero does not work for me, but works with the guest account.

  From: Tony Burke

  I have a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. Aero works OK when the guest account is connected but will not work for me in my administrator account - all settings etc are correct, but when I set to Aero, he returned to Vista Basic.

  Any suggestions?

  From: Paul Smith

  There is probably some software running which disables it.  Stuff as Java always calls the API legacy to draw graphics that allows Windows to the old mode rescue.

  If you click Start, and then type "Defender" Windows Defender should appear, from there, you can use the 'explore software' (under Tools) to try to disable all applications that are running on login.

  Hi HiteshAstan,

  one) don't you recall making any changes to the computer before this happened?

  (b) what exactly happens when you sign in to your account?  You get a specific error message?

  Step 1: Let us check if the problem persists in safe mode

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

   

  If the problem persists, you can deduct that the user account is corrupted

  Step 2: Create a new administrator account and then try to repair your user account

• Extreme problem of airport with the guest account

  It drives me crazy! I had the extreme AC router from the airport for a couple of years now. It works perfectly if the guest account is disabled. Whenever I try to enable the guest account access, I have a time very very difficult to connect to this account. The main and guest account are both set to wpa2. When I connect, I get proverbial bells and whistles go telling me airport utility system is set to be implemented via cable wan which decreases the Security (in my own home that is not a problem) and it tells me to put it in bridge not NAT and DHCP mode. If the clipping the guest account value absolutely not allow internet connection. What I am doing wrong?

  The macbook, I am trying to connect is running LION

  What is the brand and model of the modem Internet you have your AirPort Extreme, directly connected by Ethernet?

  If this device is actually a combination modem & router, then your extreme must be configured as a bridge. Guest network does NOT work in Bridge mode.

  "(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

  1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

  2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

  3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

  4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

  5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

  Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.

• System default admin for the guest account

  original title: system admin__

  How to make so that the main user... (System Administrator) the main user on the page "comments"? So I don't have to ask permission to download things.

  It can be done - especially because of reasons of programming and security. In fact, you really should not use the guest at all account (for the same reason - pirates too know it is there and can often enter your system through it).  The best approach is to create a standard user for guests account and just leave the guest account disabled.  Yes, I know that the account exists and it is not well said by Microsoft about it, but to be on these forums and see thousands of posts, I can tell you that most experts and authors of long-term response do not recommend its use at all.  Most would have a fit to the idea of giving this account of administrative privileges (and thank God that you proposed is not possible).  I mean really, you honestly want to give a guest (even your best friend or a parent) THAT kind of access to your system and your files?  Even if it were possible, I would NEVER consider such a thing.

  Again, I suggest you to disable the account invited and set up a standard account for your guests.  It's much safer and not that much more work for all the world.  In addition, since it implies that this is the case, I suggest that you do not use an administrator account for day-to-day activities (for security reasons - if someone hacks in there they have access to your entire system!).  Set up a regular user account to use on a daily basis and use the account administrator only when necessary.

  I hope this helps and even if it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, it's the answer you needed to hear.  A good firewall and security software cannot go that far (and necessary), but you must also practice good safety habits as well.  I can't tell you how many people I have seen here that have been hacked or attacked by malicious software not because they had not the right software installed and running, but because of the way they have used their system (absence of passwords, wireless unsecured, leave the machine unattended without first locking or at least using a locking screen saver) ,...).  And in some cases, the only way to recover was a clean install, and they lost all their programs and settngs (although most were able to record their data with our help).  I really want to see you back here as one of those people.

  Good luck!

• Installed NEWSid, restarted, now I am obliged in the guest account and can't make admin account or change the guest account.

  I had to run NEWSid due to software, I bought and installed (Stardock Objectdock) and required me to restart. Upon reboot, I had the guest account and couldn't change little matter what I tried. Here are things I tried.

  (1) goes UAC and by creating an account admin, but when I put a name in the name field, it tells me I have the invalid text when I do.

  2) restart in safe mode to create the Admin account or change the parameters of control of the accounts in this way and the same thing happens as a #1.

  Reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit 3) compared to the original, which does nothing to help.

  After research, I learned that using NEWSid with Vista causes this problem a lot, but the only solution I found is to use a recovery system disk (the only disc that came with my purchase of the computer has been the Cyberpower restore disc that contains only Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit.

  I am at a loss what to do, what I'm in the guest account and can't get out. System Restore did nothing as well until I reinstalled Vista. When I tried to run the system restore, it told me the Volume Shadow service was not working, but as part of the services, it has been set to automatic.

  Hi Rizzano,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  If you are unable to connect to the administrator account, you will be unable to make changes on the computer by using the guest account.

  I think you did an in place upgrade which means it replaces the file system and makes no changes to the user account.

  You try to activate the construction in the administrator account and check if it works.

  If you are able to connect on windows first try to create a new administrator account.

  To activate the built-in Administrator account, follow these steps:

  
  1. click Startand type cmd in the Search boxof start.
  2. in the list of search results, right-click Guest, and then click run as administrator.
  3. When you are prompted by user account control, click continue.
  4. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
  5. type net user administrator , , and then press ENTER.
  Note: Please replace the tag with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account.
  6. type exitand press ENTER.
  7 log off the current user account.

  HOW to: Enable the build-in the administrator account in Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555910

   

  If the steps above does not resolve the question suggest that you try to restore the system from the mode or using the disk safe.

  To use the Windows recovery environment, you must have the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc. To start the Windows recovery environment, follow these steps:

  1.	Insert the installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
  2.	Press a key when you are prompted.
  3.	Select a language, time and currency and keyboard or input method, and then click on Next.
  4.	Click on your computer repair.
  5.	In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click on Next.

  In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point created before the problem occurred.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Let me know if it worked.

  All the best!

Thank you * address email is removed from the privacy * cell + 923149001117

  Kind regards

  Andou...

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
