administrator accounts

My son has been the sole administrator. How can I change this

Cut his allowance :). Seriously, the risk of being involved in a family dispute or promote an alterior motive, go to start then Control Panel then user accounts and determine if there is another administrator account. Normally two Admin Accts are availble with XP. Use the help of guides (top left of the window user accounts) to help you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • good way to change the standard administrator accounts

    I'm looking for the right way to change some of the administrative accounts on macs, I support since administrative Standard.

    the systems in question have at least two accounts of adminsitive and I only will this happen to one of these accounts.

    Currently, there are data for users (images, music, etc.) in their accounts of the House.

    Is it simply a matter of the past as long as administrator on a single account, by selecting the other account and by unchecking the box "allow user to administer this computer" or is it more than that, such as the creation of accounts entirely new?

  • My mac won't let me access my administrator account

    Hello world

    I just bought a macbook pro a week ago and I have currently updated to OS X El Capitan 10.11.4. So here's my problem. Last night, I changed the name of my administrator account and tried to activate the user to guess account. Then I closed my mac and went to bed. This morning when I open my mac the log in window appears as usual, I enter my admin password and connection user guess window pops up asking for a password, sign in. I try to play by clicking on the icon of the user to guess, then a message pops up saying "this computer will restart to a secure system of Safari only for the user to guess." So now I can only connect this system only safari and cannot access my administrator account. Please help me, I need to connect to my administrator account as soon as possible.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey trqhien_1605,

    It seems that you simply log on to the guest user account, and then you can choose your administrator account and log in as usual. Here are some instructions on registering your account:

    Close the session

    Choose the Apple menu > Log Out. If you don't want the application windows you have currently open to reopen when you reconnect, deselect the option "reopen the windows when you log in.

    If your Mac is set up for multiple users, other users can connect once you disconnect.

    Now you should see the advanced boot menu.
    Here, you can choose between different options.

    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.

    Someone at - it other access to your laptop? I mean the password cannot be changed without reason.

  • HP Pavilion 15 ak-025TX of game: Disabled administrator account invites to start but administrator Local account works Fine

    Hello!

    I have this little problem with my laptop where a prompt saying that the administrator account has been disabled after startup. 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.
