  • Windows XP Administrative lockout user account

    I have a windows XP and we have a total of four accounts of users one of our children set up the administrator user account and I forgot the password now we are locked out of all the administrative capabilities and microsoft applications of Word Please help as soon as possible, we are needing to use these programs.

    I'm not sure what running MS Word has to do with what you wrote (the word should open fine in a limited user account), but here's how to fix your password.

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Problem with the administrator user account

    When I connect to my administrator user account a Windows Sidebar message immediately rises:

    "Settings.ini is being used by another process. Close the other program, and then click Retry, or click Cancel to exit sidebar. »

    The problem is that there is no other program to close so I click on no to cancel. There is also a message from Catalyst Control Centre (program of ATI technology video card) that comes immediately after the message of the sidebar:

    "The host application has stopped working a problem caused the program blocking works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

    I click Close Program, but no notice is. Try using Windows, I get the message "help topic is not found." I tried the system information (msinfo32.exe) and get the message "cannot collect information cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software.» Management of Windows files may be displaced or missing. » !!!

    All the above problem ONLY happens in the administrator user account. Both regular user accounts work fine. Windows help works very well, information system works very well!

    If you "move" the files/folders to PUBLIC folders, you can then access them when you are in the new admin account and then you can place them in your personal folders.

    When you have completed the tutorial, try this...

    That's all. The file/folder is moved.

  • Access to my files on a nonadministrator account administration user account.

  • program user accounts: administrator user account

    I created a user not knowing account is the user account administrative and when a phone rang I confirmed the password without remembering what I wrote, it "administrator user account" to change / remove it completely. Because I can't even open the computer programs, it blocks everything.  (b) I've recreated a 'Standard user' account, but it doesn't have the same functions.  PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT

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

  • Need permissions in Win 7 to take possession of the corrupt administrator (user) account

    I have a corrupt administrator user account that is only available in safe mode, at the command prompt.  I created another user account that gives me the Windows interface and I'm now trying to "own the administrator account to copy my files to my new user account."

    I am not able to access or change anything from anywhere or management; (Registry, other user accounts, other folders or files, properties or fields etc.) due to the restrictions on my PC.  I tried to use the takeown.exe tool, but I'm not sure what should be entered in the command line.  I read on the parameters to TO, but do not seem to get any results.

    Your advice is appreciated... Thank you!

    Since you were using the command prompt window when you created the new user, I just assumed you have made using the command:

    NET user newuser * / add

    where 'newuser' is the name of the new user?

    Did you also give this privilege to administrator newuser entering control:

    net localgroup administrators newuser / add

    While logged as administrator?

    It would be necessary to perform the actions that you are trying to do.

  • Out of the Blue, an administrator named account appears?

    Hello

    I hope that it's fairly simple to solve. I've been messing around with some file permissions delete some and adding others... and when I rebooted I noticed I had an another user account named Administrator and he asked me who to connect to. Now, I know there is always an Admin account and you can not delete the account, but so far he never arose and seems to be a new account.

    I see the problem in the user account settings on my Windows 7 desktop. I do NOT see it in my portable Win7 so I know that it is not there. I'm concerned, it's a virus or something that created an admin account... is this possible?

    If I'm doing something when playing with the permissions, what can I do to get rid of the named account administrator? I can't remove it and it has never been there before? :/

    PS. I fixed it to where it is most requested which account to connect to, still do not know came the new account

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community!

    I understand that you are facing some problems with the administrator account on the computer. Don't worry; I'm here to help you.

    First of all, make sure that you have at least one active administrator level account before proceeding.

    (a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click on command, prompt a click and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    b) type net user administrator / active: No.

    Hello!

When I click 'Ok', it brings me to my own account login screen and I can connect properly. There is only one account on the computer and that is mine, so I don't see why the prompt keeps appearing every time you start.

    Appreciate any help!

    Hey @HossanEpiques,

    Thanks for getting back to me with such a detailed response. I appreciate it! It allowed me to search a little further in the administrative account are disabled and where it might be from. Based on the process of elimination, it is my guess that more educated that the message comes from the operating system and not software, your specific user account or virus related.

    You don't create a different user account. It was just to try to narrow down the origin of the message. Whether the related software, related profile, operating system, etc..

    The first piece of information, I would like to share with you, is that even if you have an account administrator for you (one you connect to and use every day), it is also an integrated into operating systems Windows 'hidden' administrator account (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10).

    I found a great site that explains the hidden account and how to activate it. Good that this site is not affiliated with HP, here's a few documents for you: Activate the account administrator (hidden) on Windows 7, 8, or 10. You can decide if you want to try the steps or not. As I have not tested myself, I can't say if it will work indefinitely. I advise you to stay away click on any ads.

    The other option that you have in this case would be contacting Microsoft or reach out using their Microsoft Community Forums.

  • No administrator user account.

    I put up 2 new accounts of the user in addition to the administrator account when I logged into the admin account to check that everything was working the main administrator account has gone I have tried everything and I am unable to get it back.

    It comes to the way Windows works. (This is a feature, not a problem).

    Windows allows you to automatically hide the built-in Administrator account when any additional user is created.  The administrator account is still there and you can still sign in it, but to connect on it, you will need to use the classic logon screen.

    When the login screen appears with two other users, simply type Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice.  This will bring up the classic login window.  Just type in 'administrator' in the user name box and the password associated (if any) in the password box and you should be able to connect.

    FWIW: It is recommended to create a new [third] user with administrator privileges for the time that you need an administrator account and let the built-in account hidden for disaster recovery purposes.

    Hello markgeaughan,

    I would first try to start safe mode and see if you are able to connect to the administrator account.   Another option is to try to perform a system restore to a time before having this problem.
