Activation of administrator account is safe?

• No administrator account on my user ID. There is a boot in safe mode

  I just had a new hard drive installed with xp. When I login with my username I notice there is no under Documents and Settings administrator account. It has no administrator under USERS account. When I boot in safe mode, the administrator account is here. How can I get the administrator to display on my ID?

  Cannot delete the administrator account.  That is, it does not display.  To show this, open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  net users
  This will display a list of all the users set up on your system.  I bet that 'Administrator' is one of them (as in 'comments').

  To connect as an administrator, you should disable the auto logon in Windows XP feature that allows to bypass the login screen.

• I can't open my administrator account.

  I'm having a big problem, because I can not open my account of the administrator account.  When I put my password it say, the profile service could not connect

  Hi Aliciacasigary,
  If there is an other administrator account you can log in, then go to step 7 after logging into that account.
  However, if you are unable to all accounts at all, then start at step 1.
  1. reboot your computer and press F8 multiple times until you see a menu similar screen, if you see the Windows startup screen, then repeat this step
  2. highlight and press enter on Mode safe mode with command prompt. Try to connect to it. If it still does not work, proceed to step17
  3. If you are able to connect, once the command prompt appears, type: net user administrator Word ofpast / active: Yes (you can specify the password for the administrator account.)
  4. If you get a message "the command completed successfully" and then restart your computer by typing: shutdown - r
  5. start again by pressing F8, but this time choose just the SafeMode.
  6. you will be able to log in as administrator with the password set in step 3
  7 hit (windows logo) + r.
  8. type regedit
  9. once the Registry Editor opens, search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
  10. in the left pane, find the one that begins with S-1-5... and ends with. BAK; If you can't find one, go to step 15
  11 right-click and click Rename, and then change it. TO BAK. BK
  12 right-click with the same numbering but without the. BAK and Add. BAK add at the end
  13. right click on the one that you have renamed in BK and clickRename, remove the. BK
  14. Subsequently, you have activated the. BAK to the end of the second entry in the first. That should probably fix your problem.
  15. If you do not find one. BAK then try this: open Explorer Windows for C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Application data
  16. If you find an other Application Data below the one you are on, and then delete. Who should probably also solve your problem.
  17. If you can not log in Mode safe mode, restart and press F8 until you see the menu again, and then press enter highlightingRepair your computer
  18 wait for all the Windows files to finish loading, then hitNext when it asks for the language of the keyboard.
  19. try to connect here also, choose your username in the menu drop-down, type the password, then go to step 23
  20. If it still doesn't work, then if you still have your Windows installation CD, put it in, and then restart your computer.
  21. press F12 until you see a menu of boot options, choose boot from CD
  22. the language of the keyboard and then click Next. Find repair your computer for a little below the center-left.
  23. choose Open command prompt and type: net user administrator / Active: Yes password (here again you can specify a password)
  24. close the command prompt and click on restart and go to step 5
  To disable the administrator account, type the following in a command prompt: net user administrator / active: No.
  If nothing is done here, so I'm helpless on how to fix this next.
  Hope that has contributed so

• Administrator account is disabled - system 5 error when trying to access

  So I created a user account with administrator rights because I had problems with other accounts of user download of malware and viruses on my computer.  Unfortunately, I've changed the password one night when I was very tired and now draws a complete blank on what it might be.  Time has passed and I have tried everything I can think enough to know that I'm up a Creek trying to remember this password.  After that some searching around, I learned to start safe mode to access the hidden administrator account, which does NOT produce the hidden administrator account.  Then I read about access to the cmd as administrator, but that doesn't work either because he asks me the password I don't remember.  If I try to run cmd with "net users administrator / Active: Yes", receives a message indicating "system error 5 has occurred, access denied.  Same thing if I try to enter "net user *", and then click the password twice to clear it.  I know that I have set up with administrator access the user account is different than construction administrator b/c if I go 'lusrmgr.msc' in the search/run box on the start menu, then clicking on 'users' I can see that they are two separate accounts.  When I click with the right button on the built in Admin and select Properties, it shows a check in the box "account is disabled".  If I uncheck this box, I gives me the error message "access denied."  If I try to go the other route and check the "account is disabled" on the user account that I set up with administrator access, I gives me the same error.  If I try to delete the setting of administrator group of the user account that I set up with administrator access I'm access denied once again.  All this is considered... other ideas or tips? I read somewhere that apparently since I created a user to have admin access, hidden admin is disabled by windows automatically for safety.  I really hope this isn't the case!  I'm very hesitant to use a tool to reset password to a third party if I have to, but I'm running out of options and it's been months.  I appreciate any help, tips, reviews, etc.  Thank you!

  You cannot administer a computer unless you are an administrator.

  The built-in account is disabled if there is another admin account.

  There is no way around it, or it would not be safe.

  Don't forget the computers are not safe during execution.

  MS sites will not discuss hacking password.

• Unable to get the administrator account.

  I changed my password (without the backup disk) and now I can't access my account admin or make updates.  Is it possible that I can get the password set to day for I can put?

  Syed, is simply not true. Vista (and Windows 7) has means legitimate integrated for the OP to enter its system, which do not require a password for third-party software cracking and therefore who works against the rules of the forum, Ms.

  "Connieongeek" - 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).

• Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect, but immediately disconnected return.

  Original title: why my account automatically disconnect?

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect but then before he's even changed screens, immediately disconnect back.
  I can connect to it using safe and I ran Anti-malware, Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care and they have all come without any problem.
  Now, I guess I'm using an account with administrative privileges but different. I just need to open Windows Media Center, but every time I try, it says: I'm on the guest account. My machine won't let me create a new account, delete other accounts, or even to change the passwords. In addition, a random ASP.NET account appears and I can't remove it.
  I don't understand what I could do wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Jorgomli,

  1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to connect?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1:

  Because you can connect to the account administrator in safe mode, you can try to create a new safe mode administrator account and check.

  Check out the link:

  Create a user account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

  Step 2:

  If still face problems, then you can try setting the default Administrator account and check if you can solve the problem.

  a. click the Start button

  (b) in the Start Menu, click all programs followed accessories

  c. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option

  e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  f. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

  g. close the elevated command prompt.

  h. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  i. click the photo icon display built-in Administrator account and connect to it.

  If the problem is resolved, then you can create a new administrator account and check.

  You can try to create a new administrator account by following the link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

  You can also try disabling the default Administrator account using the command

  NET user administrator / active: No.

  Hope this information is useful.

• no administrator account - cannot remove other accounts

  recently to create new account on the computer form ym administrator accont and tried to make one of them administrator instead of mine. somehow, that didn't work now none of the administrator account, all are standard. I am trying to delete other accounts, but I can't because it is written enter administrator password, but it does not work. I don't have the fingerprint reader because I hated that and I can't put it back on because, once more, do not have the apparent administrator password to put it on. What can I do to create an account administrator or make it mine admin again?

  Your post is quite dispersed and hard to read, but consider that most of the problem is that you have not all administrator accounts. The first thing to try is to start safe mode. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Sign in (password will be white) and then go to control panel > user accounts and make changes to the user to other accounts on the system. You can then follow the General instructions for setting up 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 whether taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) or a knowledgeable friend is the best solution for you.

  If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled.

  1. you will need to use NTpasswd to enable (disabled by default) built-in Administrator account and set a password to null (empty). Allowing this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so that you can then connect.

  http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

  Download CD (.iso) image and burn as an image, not as data. You will need a third party burning software. Then boot with the CD that you created and follow the directions. After you are done with NTpasswd, remove the CD and restart the computer. Log on to the administrator account that you enabled.

  2. Once you have logged on to the built-in Administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts and make changes as you wish. I suggest making an account administrative 'tech': call 'Tech' or 'CompAdmin' - at this time there. See the end of this post for creating users in Vista.

  3 log on the built-in Administrator account and CompAdmin. While in CompAdmin, turn off the account administrator 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.

  Setting up 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 an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  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. 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]

• I got 3 accounts, two were administrator accounts and a regular user account. Now, I find that both my administrator accounts have become odinary leaving me without any user accounts administrator account. How can I now get an administrator account?

  I don't remember doing anything that could have caused this problem.

  Enable the built-in Administrator account log in, make your changes to user accounts, search for malware to be proactive.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  First try a system restore to when things worked. If this fixes things, very well. If this is not the case, try to start in Safe Mode, because the normally disabled built-in Administrator account can be activated if no other administrative user is available on the system. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the diagnostic menu where you can use your arrow key to select Mode without failure. If the built-in administrator is enabled, you will see an icon for it on the Welcome screen.

If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

  3 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more.

  There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

  (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
  (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

  Make the necessary changes, close Regedit and try to connect as this user.

  6. If that doesn't solve your profile, it is corrupt. When you do that, you should make a new Standard user account and copy your data to it. Do not delete the old account until you have recovered data you need!

• Dilemma of administrator account

  Hi all

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1
  with two user accounts.

  The administrator account has decided to not work all of a sudden all of a sudden and the password has not been changed or anything, but it can not connect so I can't install programs on my nonadministrator account because it is password protected.

  Is there a possible way to solve this?

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. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• CREATING ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT

  Hello.  I seem to have a very strange problem. I have three user accounts, but not administrator. Whenever I try to turn a single account as an administrator or even add an administrator I get the same warning message: in User Account Control, I asks me to type an administrator password, and then click OK. Unfortunately there is nowhere to type any password and 'OK' is not available - only on "Cancel".

  I'd appreciate any help.

  Thank you.

  Safe boot mode. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Log in to the administrator and set up your accounts of users per the recommendations at the end of this post.

  If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled and you will need to work more. 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 [Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  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.  Or you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:

  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 the third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com ) to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data.

  Now remove the rescue CD/DVD, you have done, reboot Windows and log on to the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

  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).

• 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:

  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.
