Admin account in Windows 8

• CHANGE THE MAIN ADMIN ACCOUNT: WINDOWS 7

  Hi all

  I want to change the main admin account on Windows 7, so I can remove the second account admin on my machine.

  I put my machine using my admin account but had a problem with and an Adobe program. Adobe technology has created a second admin account, account now appears to be set as primary and I can not change the options for the account, much less delete it but I would like to make.

  Can someone tell me if there is a solution to this?

  See below:

  1. This is my main account, and he's always been. I click on 'manage another account '.

  

  2. He takes me to the screen. I click on "Administrator". Administrator. "

  

  3. no options to change the account are available. This is the account that Adobe technology created AFTER the story of 'Kevin Byers' had been used as my main admin account.

  

  The strange thing is that these options ARE available on my main account. The FIRST account created on this machine.

  PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE ACCOUNT I USED TO LOG IN.

  

  So I guess the question is: why was the SECOND admin account changed to primary school, why can't change this back, and why I can delete the account I'm logged in from this account?

  I've been racking my brain and no one I know can help. Searches provide nothing, so if you have anything it would be appreciated.

  Your problem is mainly due to some confusion.

  There is no 'primary' admin account in Windows 7. There are '' integrated '' account called "Administrator". It's still there. You can't create, edit or delete. Adobe technology has not created the it. He simply allowed her.

  You can disable the built-in Administrator account by using the sequence of steps shown below. Before you do, you should create, test, and document an alternative admin account. Why? It's for the same reason that you have a spare key to your House. A lot of people have in diabolical trouble in case something goes wrong with their one and only the account Admin happens all the time. With spare admin account, you are safe.

  1. Log in under your own admin account.
  2. Click the start planet.
  3. Type these letters: cmd.exe
  4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
  5. Accept the challenge.
  6. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
     NET user administrator / active: No.

• I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows. Can I use it to connect to my old windows

  original title: passwor

  I have two windows installed on my laptop. Both are windows vista. I could not log on to the windows of the first, because it does not accept my password, even if my password is correct. Then I installed windows again, but did not remove the old windows.

  My question is: I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows.

  Can I use it to connect to my old windows. The old windows is stored in a separate file. I'm the only Admin and the only user.

  Hello

  You will not be able to use the old profile, but the hidden administrator account is activated, you may be able to access files and folders in this account that you have not deleted the profile.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Hi kuentin,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

  When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

  There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

  (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

  (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

  (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

  (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

  I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

• I think I forgot my password for windows 7? IM the admin account only on my computer, how do I regain access? Help, please!

  Please help me, im unable to use my computer as I either forgot my password (which i have tried all the possibilities) OR I've been hacked? I'm not very sure, but I really need to regain access to my computer what can I do to reset the password?
  Sincere friendships x

  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).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • 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)

• I forgot my windows, no pswd password don't reset the drive, no admin account, how to reset?

  I try to log on to Windows XP Edition family, but have forgotten my password.  I looked on the site of MS in which States can I reset using a disc, or start as an adiministrator, I have neither a disk or an administrator account.  Can anyone help? Thank you!

  EVERYONE has an administrator account in Windows XP Home Edition. It is accessible by entering Safe Mode:

  http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm#02

  Except if you set a password for this account (this is doubtful, since you didn't even know you had!), it is empty.

  Once you have logged on to the administrator account you can set passwords and guests to your heart's content:

  http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000767.htm#05

  You can select the account that you use normally and reset the password. You can even choose an option to 'change the way users log on or not.' In this window, you can select "Use the Welcome screen" (which seems to be what you had before).

• Windows 8 deleted my Admin account with a regular one?

  I tried to do a video editing for school, so I connect my iPad to copy video clips and try to install an application (on the account admin, our default one that we don't have another). The app wants a login, so I have connection with mine. After finishing, I try to log on to the admin account, to see that is he. It is not even under the button "logout". Apps and even PC settings will not open. What is c?

  You said that you put your password into an application and then he does this?  What app did?  If I were you I run a system restore quick return to 24 hours ago and repair the damage he has caused.  This restoration will not change your files, it returns only return all the values of registry changed.  It takes about 2 minutes, and if you don't like you can cancel it, so you don't lose to try.

• Place the Parental control over the Admin account

  I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

  Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

  I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

  Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

  Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

  If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

  Step 1

  Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

  Step 2

  This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

  Step 3

  Select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

  resetp

  Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

  resetpassword

  Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

  Select the user account

  and select

  Administrator (root)

  Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

  Select

   ▹ Reboot...

  in the menu bar.

  Step 4

  This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

   ▹ Disconnect...

  from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

  Step 5

  On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

  Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

  Allow the user to administer this computer

  You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

  Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

  Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

• XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

  The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
  I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
  Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
  Thank you

  According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

  The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

  As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)

• Why can I not see my admin account?

  I tried to set up a password to protect a folder in my documents.  It seemed to work until after turning off the computer and restrating it later I could not see the admin log and my user accounts do not have the data of this file or music or other files in the admin account.  If I start the computer in safe mode I can log on to the admin account, but it does not appear when I start the computer in normal mode.  I have no password or recovery discs and am running XP pro.  How to do the admin sign in option available in normal mode?

  • Click Start, run and type Regedit.exe
  • Navigate to the following key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows NT------CurrentVersion------Winlogon------SpecialAccounts-UserList

  • Use the file export option to back up the key just in case
  • Create a new DWORD value named administrator
  • Double click on administratorand enter 1 as its data
  • Exit the registry editor.
