Admin account locked out

Something strange is happening with my Windows 7. We had two accounts of users out there: mine (which was also the Admin account) and my wife. None of these accounts had a password. (Perhaps not a good idea, but no one else uses your computer.)

Last night, my wife was not appear on the display of connection opening, but there was an empty profile called "user". When I connected who and entered in the user account of my wife, he let connect us.

I went to users to see if I could see what was going on and I don't know how it happened, but the next thing I knew, without entering anything at all, he said that there is a password on my Admin account.

Then I logged back on job connect screen, now my wife account appears and there is only the 'User' profile Virgin appeared to me. If I log in it and enter my username, it asks for a password - password that I never created and therefore do not know. So now I'm stuck on the Admin account to my computer.

Is there something I can do?

There are two things you can do:

  • Restart your machine in Repair Mode, with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows to a point before your problems began.
  • Plan ahead. Have a single administrator account involves some obvious risks. You must have two accounts admin fully tested, with their details recorded on paper.

Post again if you want more details.

  • Primavera P6 EPPM 8.2 admin account locked

    Hi all

    I installed Primeravera P6 EPPM 8.2. I can't log in as user admin on the administration page remotely P6. Now the admin user account is locked out. I am able to access local P6 Admin module, adminpv.cmd and sign in as privuser. I put the duration of lock Login 1 minute. I stopped and restarted Primavera. The Remote Admin of P6 page still says that the admin account is locked. Is there another place to unlock the admin user and reset the password?

    Thank you!

    You can unlock the user doing the update of the table. The name of the table is 'USERS' and 'FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_CNT' columns If it comes to oracle database, you can run the Sub statement to reset all users.

    update users set failed_login_attempts_cnt = 0;

    Use the similar sql for sql server.

    This must be done online as admuser.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

    I have forgot my security questions of my apple ID and have in turn been locked out of my account. Apple gave me the opportunity to use my email to rescue, but I have not received an email from them. I tried all of the recommended steps, but I am still locked. Help!

  • Account locked out

    I have tapes of the trouble in my diagram (I guess this would be the correct term). When I connect I get this message

    I remember Exchange user "sys" sportsfan and changed the password. I thought that being connected under "sys" is the admin login. I didn't know it was possible to block me db when I have the right login and password. Can someone help me?

    After reviewing your question and your answer, I realize I don't know what you sign in or how you have changed the password for the user.

    If the user is a user from database (ie. the user is a schema in the database), you will need to connect to the database, a privileged example user SYS or SYSTEM, and then run SQL command ALTER USER ACCOUNT UNLOCK to unlock the database account.

    If the user is a user of the Apex (ie. the user is managed in Apex applications) then you need to go to the Manager users > create/edit user Application Management is the administration of workspace (using the user ADMIN workspace) and change the availability account unlocked.

  • All accounts locked out on windows server 2008 r2.

    I am on windows 2008 r2 on a virtual machine, in a field with a machine virtual windows 7. It is hosted on my computer windows 7.

    I had the configuration of the field very well, everything was functional with network etc, I changed that would connect the server machine locally in assignment policies user right. I was aware that I had everything works fine, but when I came back after an hour or so, I tried to connect it to my account has full administrator rights and I get this message, "you can not connect because the logon method, you use is not allowed on this computer. See your network administrator for more information. »

    I thought I added something like only a certain group of users can connect and none of my accounts are in this group of users.

  • Windows 7 has become my comments login and I'm locked out of admin

    Hello

    I've been running W7 Pro 64 bit very happy for two months. When I installed, I made a user account for me with admin privileges (I'm the only user on this machine). All of a sudden yesterday I noticed that I could not do some things and on investigation found that W7 has become my admin account a guest one. Same account name, icon, the user files, but no right! I did nothing to cause it, as far as I know, it just happened. I don't think it's a virus, Kaspersky certainly is not report anything.


    I tried to boot from the DVD and by defining the built in Administrator account, but that the command window told me that the command executed successfully, when I restart I see no administrator account. Because I'm the only user I had previously defined netplwiz to connect automatically and I can't disarm that - I just get a window saying 'entry password administrator to run netplwiz' but there is no password box, probably because that there is no administrator account on the system.


    I seem to be completely locked out from changes to the admin of my system. First thing I will do when I get the machine working again, is to create an alternative admin account to use if it never happens again, but for now, I'm completely stuffed.


    Can someone help, please?


    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    UPDATE: I booted in safe mode with command prompt and run lusrmgr.msc to view accounts. Administrator account is here, just can't see on login screens. I thought that the administrator password should be blank (or perhaps the same one that I put in place with my initial admin-level account), so I tried shift-right-click netplwiz and selecting run as another user, and then typing in Administrator and white as well as a selection of passwords possible. No joy. It does not accept any combination of names of users and passwords.

    So, how to use the administrator account?

    Aaaaaargh!

    I have fixed my problem on Windows 7 guest user.  The problem is after I added the computer successfully in my area, I decided to change the name of the computer. So I changed the name and the past of the domain to the working group. After rebooting I connected under the no original domain account, I created, but it was no longer a member of the administrator group and has been labeled as guest user account type.  I had not enabled the administrator account.

    The solution: press F8 at startup for Advanced Startup Options.  Select the option 'Safe Mode with command prompt'.  I was given the opportunity to log on as an administrator, and I did.

    I entered my orders, first to change the admin password then command to activate the administrator account:

    "password net user administrator"-password the password to use.  (Password must meet complexity requirements)

    "net user administrator / Active: Yes.

    Computer restarted and I is presented with the option to connect as administrator.  Connected and managed to create a new account and add to the domain.

  • Locked out of Admin Access and password has been deleted or changed.

    I've been locked out of my account and I can not get access to the C drive not even with the command prompt. Whenever I try to use Windows Management console it says "incorrect parameters". -What this means and how can I have access again?

    Oh and I have Vista and I tried the Net User Administrator / Active: Yes and I can't access my UAC or C drive. Also, when I open command prompt and type "dir" I get access denied, even as an administrator.

    How is that possible? I was told there is a way to get rid of all passwords on my computer to reset the?

    Thanks, :))

  • Got locked out admin but don't have CD system

    Our school has a gift for laptop with Windows 7 that we use to store data.  There is only one admin account (I'll have to change that).  I logged in with the password, but it does not accept it and finally I locked.  We have no boot disk because it is a gift.  We felt that waiting a few hours may be enough to let me try again.  That did not work.  Could I restart in safe mode to access somehow?  I could use a bootdisk in Windows 7 from another computer? Is it possible to unlock it to try again?  What are my options?

    Somehow after turning on the computer again, it said that it was time to change the password and let us.  I don't understand that, but it is fixed.
