• Administrator account locking and appearance of the 'No Drive' dialog box

  I have a laptop Compaq G62-219WM.

  He is 4-5 months old. It seems that I made a big mistake with regard to the hard drive.

  It has never been connected to the internet, modem, router, been put into line, or even been recorded yet, because I was with my old desktop computer these last 4-5 months in order to take the necessary time and learn my way around the laptop and get it set up correctly a few hours per week. I have little knowledge of computers.

  THE PROBLEM:

  I took the advice of a member of the community on how to uninstall games that have settled - Wild Tangent - and entered the C drive, found the games and clicked on "Uninstall" for each of them.

  They were all sent to the Recycle Bin, everything as promised. Gone! Tabula Rasa!

  While still in the same session, I deleted the Recycle Bin before determining if 'uninstall' it in drive C assigned computer, one way or another.  Lesson learned!

  Thus, after the stop of the laptop and then restarting him then later, I typed the password for the ADMIN ACCOUNT as usual and received the following response:

  "The user name or password is incorrect" with a big red X.

  When you click on 'Close', I got a message "reset the password... ».

  When you click on the message "reset the password... "in order to try the ADMIN ACCOUNT password a second time, the following dialog box came:

  'No drive '.

  "This feature requires removable media, such as a floppy disk or USB flash drive. Please insert a disk or connect a USB flash drive, and then try again. »

  I have no idea what it means. The foregoing happens whenever I type the CORRECT password. Can someone tell me if "Uninstalling" Wild Tangent games in C drive took with her, the data needed for 'Admin Login '.

  Have no idea of what the dialog box 'No. Drive' wants me to. I don't understand very well to computer language. How devices recommended in the dialog box will help me go back to the 'Admin' account with the correct password. I have an account 'Standard' set up that I can enter in, but not privleges Admin account with it--can't make a big part at all - I don't think I can even connect to the internet when the time comes without Admin rights account.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Phil

  Hi Phil,

  There is no reason I can think of that to uninstall wild tangent games should affect your ability to open a session.  Try the following to see if you can access your account again.

  Download the ISO on the following link.

  PC Loogin now ISO

  Once downloaded, use a program such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO on a CD file correctly.  A guide on how to use it is on the link below.

  PC connection Guide now

  Insert the CD into your PC, you cannot connect to and restart to boot from the disc.

  I hope that this should simply remove your password altogether, so you can configure then comes a new.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards

• Passwords do not work to retrieve the files that I locked for the protection of personal information under my administrator account.

  I had some that I have files protected by Word, under my administration account that s wa also password protected. recently, I had to have my computer reformatted and returned it to me without administrative access, research nothing same and none of my passwords work to open these locked files. Please help me... inside one of them was a picture of my husband roommmate that he has lost the war. I need to these files and photos.  Thank you!  BTW I don't know if I have windows xp or pro.  Thanks again

  Would you be able to help me more if I had administrative control?  Because the place that did that at my computer only altered my administrative control, if I'm not mistaken it is still mine.

  At this point, you should probably take the computer to the one who did what they did and ask them to retrieve the files for you.

• Help! Account administrator - account limited - system indicates 'my computer name' listed as the administrator built-in locked out

  I accidentally deleted my domain name (or user name) name of what I thought, it was the administrator account on my computer and have had problems with this terrible OS (Windows XP Home Edition) since then.

  After reading so many different forums and comments everywhere you can imagine, I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Now, I have more administrator access nor can I make changes or install programs and am extremely frustrated.

  My account is now show as a guest, even if all my files are always available. Fortunately, the files were shared (at least this is what HP told me) don't know if I believe that all they said.

  When I fell net user list all users on my computer, there is NO listed administrator account. I see my guest account, another account I have on the system with limited access and four other records that don't make sense. I also tried to access the account of SafeMode several times and still don't see it.

  This is the information that is collected from the command net user:

  The user shows my "name of the guest account; Full name is empty; Comment watch "of the computer or to the domain administrative account"; Active account, '' Yes. '' Membership in a local group, "Administrators"; Membership of a global group, 'none '.

  So, I did a search on the Internet looking for more answers and came across a Web site that lists a likely solution (something new) because I assumed it was a registry problem (HP something else advised, in addition to the OS being corrupt, trying to add the administrator account), bringing my departure to HKEY_Classes_Root to check permissions for each user and possibly add permission for my so-called Administrator and guest account.

  So I went to check the users listed in the registry under HKEY_Classes_Root and find the names of users or groups:

  1. administrators ("my computer name" \Administrator)

  2 creator owner - no

  3 system

  4. the user ('my computer name' \users).

  So I followed the instructions and when it came to the part 'Search now', I clicked on the button to find the user accounts on my computer and found the following:

  Administrator - "my computer name.

  Comments (shows red (X))

  Guests (network)

  Help Wizard (shows red (X))

  Helpservers (network service)

  HP_Owner (interactive logon remotely)

  'Username guest' (service)

  "Another user name" (system)

  and some other user... information irrelevant.

  Now, I have a virus on the "another user name account" that I can't remove nor can I feed my antivirus because of the problem of the Administrator program. I also tried to save my files online and can not do it because I can not install any programs due to... Yes, the question of the administrator.

  Can someone please, please tell me what can be done to fix this? I'm at my wits end. I don't think that it requires my withdrawal, repair and reinstall my BONES together. There have a solution to this problem. And I hope that's not the same answers as I read in so many forums that seem to give the same answer over and over again. Also, I apologize if I look a little rough, but I'm so very frustrated with this XP thing. I had multiple computers and different systems of BONE, which I've NEVER had any problems, but this XP thing is by far the worst I've ever seen in the history of my experiences with many computers.

  Help, please!

  I understand your frustration.  However, one of the hardest parts to try to provide technical support through a forum like this (or by e-mail or phone even) communicates with precision between the problem and the person trying to help. Although your message is long, it raises more questions than it provides information.

  For example:

  I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Windows XP Home Edition, indeed there is a built-in Administrator account, but by default it is only available in Mode without failure.  Somehow, you managed a rename this account in all what you mean by , (b) accessible in normal mode, (c) leave it in the administrator group, but d remove administrative privileges on account of.

  In addition, I don't know where you looked under .  As far as I know, there is nothing on the permissions of the user.  This website has the instructions you followed?

  I suspect that the cause of your problem may be 'the' virus (there may be several) which has infected your computer, rather than what you did to your user account.  If you are able, I suggest to run each of the following free applications:

  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: malwarebytes.org [update after installation]

  SUPERAntiSpyware: superantispyware.com [update after the installation or the use of theportable version , which needs no installation]

  Multi-AV - Instructions here:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

  Although you're probably right, that reinstalling Windows is not necessary, it is the solution of many remote (including those in the forums like this) fall back on when he cannot understand what is happening.  At this point, your best option would be to take your computer to a competent local professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/geeksquad of the place) and let someone actually watch.  Tell them that you do not want to reinstall Windows.

  Ask them if they can do a "repair installation" instead (although this cannot fix things in the case of a serious viral infection).  The difference between a repair facility and a 'clean install' or 'restore factory settings' is that the last two options delete all your data and all the applications you installed since you bought the computer.  A repair installation - if this works as expected - keeps the data and applications.  But it's always a good idea to back up the data before you do anything like that.

  I created a separate administrator account and can't get it to appear at startup.  I need to send my Macbook repair and need this ID to show when they turn on him. How do I do that?

  If you added via the preferences system/users and groups, it should appear as a long time that you have set the display of connection to appear. To do this, go to System Preferences/security and privacy. Then check the check box turn off automatic connection . This should show the login screen at startup. You may need to click the lock (lower-left) icon to unlock the setting to check it out.

• Local administrator account and issue of local Group Policy permissions problem.

  You have a local administrator account where it was defined

  http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5716/18112010133154.PNG

  I think preventing the admin account to remove or install devices.  This causes a problem.  Looks like it's AD GP as is grayed out and I can't add locally.  The network team claim there is no GPs AD to limit the admin account local they know of.

  Also, I try to use the process on the machine monitor, but who needs administrator rights and he repeats that the local administrator account is not a member of the Administrators group, but it is.

  Any ideas?  Even if it's just he Process Monitor bit setting?

  And looking at the photo can someone explain which means that icon next to load and unload device drivers.  It is different from the others and think that it is linked, may be trying to tell me that it is a strategy of AD Group.

  I talked to the networks, they said there is not together AD GP for this.  I used the local administrator account to create a new local administrator account and put it in the Administrators group.  Connected to it and it also has the same problem.

  Any ideas?

  The symbol, that you reference indicates that the setting has been locked by group policy and is not editable.  When I saw it in the past, the only way I could replace, it is using "secedit".  For more information about this command:

• How can I regain access MyWindowsApp administrator account on Vista?

  I changed my password last summer and actually I FORGOT my new password. I have locked my account administrator, but have been able to access through the guest account settings. I didn't know that Vista required to create a password reset disk before I changed the password. How can I regain access to the administrator account without having the password reset disk?

  Hello

  I think you left it too late in what concerns the use of the password for the original as requiring the use of a system restore point which, after this time may not yet exist

  but you can try it

  If this does not work, you will need to reinstall vista

• Is there a way to protect an administrator account to be hacked - such as encryption of the boot with Windows 7 system

  We have set up a computer for our son with ourselves as administrators and child protection software installed on the computer. Within two days, he had deleted the administrator account, the software protection of child allegedly hidden and we locked on the computer. After some research, I've seen the online instructions to know how to bypass passwords; I had also seen mentioned that you can encrypt the boot volume to avoid changing the admin password. Is this or something else possible, so we can help to change the password again? And if this is the case, it will be able to use the computer otherwise normally?

  Thanks for any help,

  Eric

  Hi Eric,

  Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

  We apologize for the late response and caused inconvenience. It is not possible to change the administrator password. It could be the password you use in knowing or it might be possible that he might have administrator privileges. Then I suggest you change the password alphanumeric password (small, uppercase, numbers and special characters).

  Have what child protection software, you installed?

  As now, it is not necessary to circumvent passwords. BitLocker is available in Windows 7 ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise. However, you can unlock some removable drives encrypted on any version of Windows 7. You can use BitLocker Drive encryption to protect your files on a disc. BitLocker can help the hacks to access the files on the system, that they rely on to discover your password, or to access your drive by physically removing from your PC and install it in another. You can always connect to Windows and use your files as you normally would.

  Please see the suggestions contained in the links below. (Gokul T)

• Windows 7 Administrator account cannot change password ("the password entered is incorrect")

  I have a user account on my computer. This is an administrator account. I can connect with my administrator password and I am in this account as I write this. When I try to change the password in the control panel-> user accounts-> change your Windows password I get my password for the existing administrator and then the new twice, but I get the error message "the password entered is incorrect. Please re-enter your current password. »

  • I entered the current password is the correct (otherwise I wouldn't be connected to the account).
  • I made repeated tests, so I can exclude typos
  • the caps lock is disabled

  How can I work around this problem to change my password? "Current password" means something other than the password I used to access my account?

  Is it possible to display the version of distorted of the password so that I can use it when you change the account password?

  There is no way to display an existing password.

  To dig a little deeper, I suggest you do this:

  1. Create an alternative admin account. You should have it anyway, even that you have a spare House key, because you'd be in diabolical trouble, if something went wrong with your one and only the admin account.
  2. Test the alternative account.
  3. Play with the password for your existing account. If you get locked, use the alternative account to reset the password.
