• 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.

• How can I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative account in Windows XP, where clicking to do has no effect?

  I have two accounts for myself on my PC under Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that appears when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows that it is the default browser.

  In my other account, whenever I start Firefox, it tells me that this isn't the default browser. By clicking here to make the value by default, or in the options, does nothing.

  When I go to Set Program Access and defaults in the administrative account, 'use my current browser' is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my nonadministrator account, the Control Panel Add / Remove programs can be used. He says I don't have permission.

  To check in the other account, you would have to temporarily give him administrator permissions.

  See:

• Firefox forces me to use an administrator account to download on windows, I have two user accounts two called admin?

  I tried to download firefox on a pc with windows vista, fiefox configure wants me to go to an administrator account. There are two users on the windows machine means, both as directors, but at the same time discourage making a staff. Firefox invites me to an administrator and a password, I tried to add a password for my user account, but it has not been accepted, if I try the alternative to use "current user" it is unresponsive and disappears from the download area. This is getting ridiculous. Help, please.

  I'm assuming that you download the installer of Firefox http://www.getfirefox.com/ with Internet Explorer. Something to try:

  You must choose the registration option (do not use the run option). Once the download is complete, open the download folder for your Windows account, then right-click on the Firefox setup.exe inside the file and choose run as administrator.

• Windows XP administrator account disabled

  My XP Pro windows local administrator account is disabled and the password is changed every time that I reboot.

  Work around currently I am using is connecting to another admin account on the same machine and activate the real administrator account and reset the password each time.  It's summer happening since I installed the latest Automatic updates of Windows last week.
  Help, please.

  Well, this account is damaged in any way.

  What is the standard admin or a user account with the privilege of admin account?

  in all cases, the alternative I would use is to create a new account and give him Admin priviledge.

  Then reboot and let windows configure the new admin account.

  Then, right-click on the Start button and click Explore.

  This will take you to the section where the user accounts.

  Then explore the old / dysfunctional account and copy its contents into the new user account that you just created.

  I would not copy the files.

  Simply copy the files and shortcuts, and links from the old to the new.

  It can be tedious to do the above, but its 'probably the best way to back up your data.

  either way, current account, you use this time for this analysis should not be changed at this time.   That's why I suggest to create a new brand and rebuild using the data from the old account.

  the foregoing is a measure of security, just in case that the new admin account is damaged as the former.  If Yes, then you have to use again as a stable connection.

  Administrator account.  So my history and cookies are stored in this story... Then for the purposes of testing, I created an administrator account by myself with the name of "Admin". so after that, I could not delete the Admin account, I don't want this account because I don't want to lose any of my story.

  I want to work with the default Administrator account and I would like to delete the Admin account I created.

  Is this possible?. Please someone help remove my Admin account and continue with the default Administrator account...

  Please I am really struck upward with this problem...

  Hi Ravikaran,
   
  -What exactly happens when you try to delete the administrator account? You receive an error message or error code? If Yes, indicate the same.

  You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from complete this procedure.

  See the following articles for more information on the deletion of the account:

• "The user profile service failed the log - on" problem of Windows XP administrator account

  OK, so my mom is unable to log on to his profile on Windows XP Home Edition. She has both the administrator account. When she tries to connect, you will see the above error message. My brother can log into his account without problem.

  My mother told me that she had initially gone on ITunes and downloaded 3 things that the program said she needed. When she went to reboot his computer according to the instructions, she received this error message and cannot connect.

  She then guest account and was able to remove the 3 programs, but nothing helped. If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. This is the Windows program that is already installed on the computer.

  I tried to search in the forums, but it's a little confusing. She got also never all warnings "temporary profile".

  Thank you!

  Looks like the user profile is damaged.  To allow for the recovery, you will need to log in with an administrator account.  If your MOM was the only administrator account, try starting mode safe mode (F8 at startup) and log in as user 'administrator '.  The default value is the empty password.  After that, follow the steps in the following article:
