Admin lost user account
I restarted and when I logged on my user/Admin account has been reset to its initial version, XP, although I still have all my files on C:, it's just a pain to get to some files when they once were readily available on the desktop or in the user profile. I tried many things, management of the computer to see if it was turned off, restart in safe mode to see if there was, the system restore has been disabled during this time, connected to all users to see if he could have moved into another account, but not good...
Need help to restore my Original ideas user account Stars?
Hello, Mondoz
If you have files in C:\ and you want on your desktop, select the file/folder then right click, and then select cut. Now, right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select Paste. This will move all these files to your desktop.

lost user account after using the windows recovery disk.
Help, please. I turned on my computer and found that windows vista could not start due to a currupt file.
I have tried rebooting several times without success and ended by using the samsung recovery disc to get windows vista to work.
I had to create a new user account and have been able to find my original account on the C drive but don't know how to restore it so I don't have start with a new account from scratch.
Any help is appreciated.
Information, the original version of windows is now called windows.old and it is here that I want to use the user account.
Hi Geek teenager,
Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?
Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, download, etc.
You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.
Set up a new account.

If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.
If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

replacement of my user account
A genius on the Apple store recommended I have create a new main user account and empty the former, in order to escape a lot of general slowness that is limited to my main user account. He didn't tell me exactly how to proceed. My question is how to ensure that the new user has access to all my documents, music, photos, and applications, while leaving behind any corrupt software slowing down my computer.
Migration Assistant that?
The slowness is particularly noticeable when searching - in the Finder, Spotlight and especially by post. I tried to Spotlight stop indexing and then re - index, several times. The computer can get sluggish in many functions of Finder as well.
OS X 10.9.5
Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 8GB / 500 GB (290 free)
External hard drive 500 GB (150 free)

'Lost' admin user account - cannot use the system restore
We have an old desktop running XP Media. At 6 accounts on - account admin 1 parent, 4 other named accts (non admin) and 1 guest (non admin)
The system is somehow now starts only showing 1 user account - non-admin one child one. In management of the computer (administrative tools), accounts are but are not accessible.
Have no idea how to access / info. Unable to use System Restore as one account stated is a non-admin one.
Can someone help, please? -have been Googling for a few hours now :(
As a last resort, you can try the following procedure:
"How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >Which essentially restores the registry from a backup copy kept with the files in system restore. In part 2, select a dated folder until you have had this problem to copy the registry of the. Personally, I find it is easier to start from free Linux Livecd like Knoppix , in which case you can start the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux and paste to copy files to their desired location. Live CD of Linux has no problems with dealing with the status of "Super hidden" System Volume Information folder.
Good luck and HTH,

The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files
OK, I'm lost. It's crazy.
After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.
If I remember correctly, this is how I did it. I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account. I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.
Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).
OK, here's the problem. When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.
Everything to go. I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything. How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)
When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works. So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).
If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.
Obviously need help. Thank you. Ron in round rock
In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron
-> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.
I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone). Just curious as to what I did exactly.
-> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.
And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.
-> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.
And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.
Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!
There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

Last year, I bought my laptop and I tried to create a second user account but I placed it somehow this account as the Admin user. I don't remember the password and my file vault is of course.
What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.
For a user account:
You forgot your password
Lion or later version
Reset a password in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
OS X Lion mountain - reset a login password,
OS X Mavericks-solve password problems,.
OS X Lion-Apple ID can be used to reset your password for the user account.
