Admin - admin locked file renamed account

Installed Windows and the most used programs. Drive for the af system recovery is backup with Acronis True Image. Prepared for the recovery of the data of the user. Renamed the account administrator (not the build-in) to match the backup. Wery bad idea. Now the admin folder is locked.

I see two possible solutions:

1. create the new administrator account and delete the old.

2 push backup recovery

Possible problems:

announcement 1. Data from installed programs and settings can be stored in the original admin account and will be lost.

AD 2. Technical failure while cancelling the backup of the system drive.

Issues related to the:

1. is the problem, it validates

2. what solution I risked less

3. other solutions

Regards, Martin

The files do not get "locked". If they have a lock symbol then it simply means that only accounts with administrator privileges can access.

'Rename' account is unnecessary with respect to the access permissions. The remains of underlying account name - all you change is the display name. If you could do that, then you'd have a huge security hole.

Create a new account under the name of old is just as useless. Windows will not allow access to a resource previously created under an account with the same name. If you could do that, then you would still have another security breach.

You must now enter the property of your records - see here:

  • RH8 can be installed by the admin using his own account?

    Excuse this basic yes/no question, I couldn't find info on RH8. In versions, it was once recommended to install RoboHelp using the account of the USER who would later use the program (not the admin). To do this, the admin rights should be attributed to the user during installation, and again subsequently removed.

    This procedure is still required for RH8 or RoboHelp can now be installed by admin using his own account?

    The options are the user account with admin rights attached or the account admin who will have these rights by default.

  • Lock files and folders to be modified

    I am running Windows Vista SP2 and at one point of the upgrade to 7 or 8 soon.

    I just ripped all my music into files FLAC and drag them to a folder (not music) to my user account.  I use a few programs of music to listen to and do some batch conversion.  I know that some of these programs (iTunes) sometimes makes changes because it "thinks he knows better."  :)
    Is there a way I can lock the folder so that nothing in it can be edited or deleted?
    I backed everything up, but I prefer to make sure entire music library is read only in the case where I saw something.
    Thank you!

    Hi Pedro,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly, you want a way to lock files so that it can not be altered in any way.

    There is no locking mechanism specific for records however if you configure your user account to control what users can or cannot do.

    Go through the steps in the article and see if it helps.

    Here is another article on the use of user account control.

    Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Locked files

    After that I bought a new laptop, I manually copied the files over my old laptop. Now with Windows 7, half of my files are locked and I can't open them, he said: "access denied." I'm the only one on this computer and my user profile shows me as 'administrator '.  I've been through everything in Control Panel and does not know how to access these files. Please help, my tax files are in the locked files.

    How to grant permissions in Windows 7

    1. Locate the file or the folder where you want to take in charge in Windows Explorer.

    2. right click on the file or folder and select properties from the Menu

    3. click on the Security tab, then click the button change. Click OK to confirm the UAC elevation request if necessary.

    4 Select user/group permission windows or click Add to add other user or group (you may need to do this for multiple users - ex: administrator and your own user account).

    5. now under permission section check the rights you want for the user that is to say 'Total control' in the "Allow" column to assign the rights to full access control permissions to the user.

    6. click OK for changes to take effect and click OK again to exit the Properties window.

  • CF9 and CFBuilder locking files

    Someone has a problem with CFBuilder locking files so that
    they cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted?  Maybe I'm the web to research
    with the research of bad words, but I'm not finding someone else with this
    problem.

    It's embarrassing when I'm refactoring of code, but it's especially bad
    on switching operation Subclipse trying to change a branch
    to the other.  It corrupts my entire working copy where SVN fails to
    delete a file that does not exist in the other branch.  Shame on SVN
    for does not gracefully, shame on CFBuilder for is not letting
    the file I closed it after that.

    Sometimes I can get Builder release by opening the file and
    close several times.  Other times I have to close CFBuilder
    completely.

    I use the local server CF9.0, CFBuilder, 1.0.0.274293, Windows XP.

    A friend suggested that I try Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/)

    Unlocker shows these two handles on the file:


    Process: CFBuilder.exe
    Locked path: c:\my\file\islocked.cfc
    PID: 548 handle: 1276
    The process path: c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder\CFBuilder.exe

    Process: CFBuilder.exe
    Locked path: c:\my\file\islocked.cfc
    PID: 548 handle: 3740
    The process path: c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder\CFBuilder.exe

    My SVN switch always choked, but I understood the steps to recover once the file is unlocked (just run the switch again without trying to change first the mixed version).  Now I can open the files with unlocker.

    Still, it's pretty boring.  How can I solve this problem?

    Yep, I got it.  It seems to be exclusively with the SWC files.  It is a good PitA bread (and seems useless to me).

  • Search engines not available, except in mode "Run as Administrator". delete the parent.lock file profiles did not help

    After the upgrade to 21 FF, search engines no longer appear in the bar at the top right of the screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my favorites and apparently also to the links contained in the e-mails.

    If I right click on the FF icon and choose the "Run as Administrator" option, the search engines are there again. I tried to delete the parent.lock in the profiles folder, that this solution was solved a problem I've had recently with the previous version of FF (not being not able to open FF and getting the error message on another version of it running, which had to be closed in the first place - but there was no other version running.) In this case, too, before I discovered the solution, I could open FF using the option "Run as Administrator"). However deleting the parent.lock file does not resolve this issue.

    I would be grateful for your help, especially if a person not very computer like me can understand put in simple terms!

    You have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder?

    Try to remove the file search.json and a possible search.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder to reset the default search engines.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the browser\\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • I use a free AVG antivirus to analyze my laptop and always, he reports many locked files that cannot be verified.

    original title: locked files.

    I use a free AVG antivirus to analyze my laptop and always, he reports many locked files that cannot be verified. Most of them have the sign $ in front of their name, but I can't find them easily when I search for later, but they are mostly ordinary files that have been recently opened and closed. What are the locked files and can they be removed?

    Hello Omowright,

    Thank you for posting.  This seems to be files that have been quarantined by moy.  This happens usually when your antivirus detects infected files and moves them to a waiting area where they can do no harm to your computer.  For more details on quarantine, I would say that you see the antivirus support site.

  • How to transfer a file of account to another account?

    I deleted my cause account he had some problems anyway, I deleted my administrator account and since I saved my files to account to the administrator, all of the documents, Favorites, music, etc. (with a value of 15 GB) I want to know how to transfer them to my account. Help?

    Treat the situation as if you have a corrupted user profile: fix this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profileuse.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  When you transfer the files, only forward those that relate to your old user profile (unless you want to transfer more - it is you).

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • PC crashed during 6 start Lightroom. Now open habit. Can not find the lock file

    Hello.

    My PC stops inexplicably while Lightroom 6 began and then just rebooted. (Windows 7 i7 PC)

    Now Lightroom does not start and a "Catalog Adobe" said dialog box could not be opened because another application has already opened it.

    A quick search on the internet said the locking file must delete, but I'm not. An Adobe help page shows me:[username]\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat.lock C:\Users\

    First of all, I'm on LR6 and my start up programs are on a small SSD. So if I navigate on this hard drive, then program file Adobe\Adobe Lightroom I see many files, then a may list files. None gives me a clue to what is a lock file or look like lrcat.lock.

    I'm not very savy on a PC and would be grateful of urgent assistance. I tried to uninstall the program and then reinstall, but in vain.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi andys62004617,

    lock file is located in the exact location as well as your catalog.

    Search under Pictures\Lightroom\ Catalog.lock of Lightroom and delete (do not remove the .lrcat files because it's your main catalog)

  • InDesign Lock files appear before opening file

    At least it's the only thing I can think of what is happening. After update InDesign CC 2014 I only worked on a single file. The file is located on the documents of my supervisor, so I go from there. Lately when I try to open the locking file file appears before the file is actually opened, and then InDesign tells me that the file is in use. It is the only file that has this problem, all of the InDesign files on his documents. He became quite disruptive, being the only solution we found to him close his current projects and restart the computer, then I restart my computer and everything is going well. Mid-afternoon if I closed the file we do the same thing. InDesign also ran a bit on the lazy side. Has anyone else had this problem and found a workaround or someone has possible ideas about what is happening. Yet once, I don't think that it's the network because it is the only file that is having this problem, and he started only since the last update. Thank you!
