Administrator of the regular user account

My brother gave me this pc so its screen was initially the only screen on this pc and the administrator account.  I thought I have BEEN set up as an administrator, as well, but I'm not allowed to do things like re - install the web cam.  After reviewing, I see that I am listed as a reg user (even if it is said under my name 'administrator'.  I went to the account administrator (my brother) and tried to change the type of account, but it will not accept the change.

What should I do now?  Why is he not allow editing even though I was in the administrator account?

Hello!

Open a session the administrator account.

Go to start menu-> all programs-> Accessories-> right click on command prompt-> choose 'run as administrator '.

Type:

net users [ENTER]

to see the list of local users on the PC

net localgroup administrators [ENTER]

to see the list of users who are in the Administrators group

To make your administrator user name, add it to the Administrators group with:

net localgroup administrator username_you_want_to_add / add [ENTER]

exit [ENTER]

to close the command prompt window.

I hope that helps!

    Matt,

    Since you don't have a Vista Home Premium, I found another article that describes a way to get around it to make a registry change.

    The following Web site:
    http://www.eCoustics.com/PCW/HOWTO/140134

    Vista Home Premium is not the Group Policy Editor. To make the changes in this version, you must change the registry. Before making any changes to the registry, back it up following the instructions in "block Cookies for spying, but keep the most useful" (scroll down to the area of blue text at the bottom of the page).

    With your backup of the registry in place, click Start, type regedit and press ENTER. In the tree on the left pane, navigate to Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. With the icon system selected in the left pane, double-click on ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin in the right pane. Change the data value to 0, then click on OK. You should see the effect immediately (no restart required).

    Not sure if this will help, but thought that I have it send your way.

    Thank you

  • How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    OT: Without administrator rights.

    I don't have my active administrator account.

    I had a user account that I removed myself from the group administrator.

    Now I'm locked to do anything.

    I can't assign me to the admin group, I can't allow the user to administrator, I can't edit some files or delete some software...

    I tried cmd but get access denied when you try to activate the administrator account. It does not help if I open CMD or anything else with administrator privileges.

    I can't open the recovery mode, tried to start in safe mode and all the rest.

    How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    I had a user account, which I removed myself from the group administrator.

    -> This is called "paint yourself in a corner.

    I tried cmd but get access denied when you try to activate the administrator account. It does not help if I open CMD or anything else with administrator privileges.

    -> Is normal. Either you are an administrator, or you're not.

    How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    -> Ask a friend to burn a CD repair system for you (Control Panel / backup and restore). Now to use this CD to start the machine in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to a point before you downgrade your one and only the admin account.

    When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • I have a password but no login screen at the start of the Windows7 user account

    Recently, I put a password on my account.

    He never asks the password at startup.

    He asks after that the screen saver comes up because I checked "on resume session logon screen" in the screen saver settings

    I tried netplwiz and the box "users must enter a user name and password on this computer" is checked.

    I am the only user account, and I am administrator.

    Seems that the problem is that windows is not set to display the connection at startup.

    This has opened the same as netplwiz in search

  • Is any impact of a change of the password of the local user account on an instance of a content server Cisco TelePresence virtual computer?

    Hello

    I'm looking to see if there is an impact to change the password of the local user account on an instance of a content server Cisco TelePresence virtual machine?

    The software version is v6.2 build 4073.

    Thank you in advance,

    Robert

    I'll assume, you are referring to the administrator account, but it can be applied to any local account which is located on the TCS server itself.  It has no impact to change the password, unless you are using doesn't say account to connect to the server of TCS or web interface, it will not affect the application of TCS as most things such as external storage or clustering rely on domain accounts and not the local server.

  • I have a problem with a missing on the computer user account.

    Original title: problem getting back to the original account admin user

    Since the computer was new, I didn't have that one user account and didn't need a user to logon screen, when it opened to that and the only active user account. Fast forward 6 months that I had a problem with a windows installation file deleted and in order to get a program running I had to add a user account for the new installation of the user files. That part worked, but when I disconnected and tried to return to my original owner account there was only the new account on the logon screen my original account wasn't there. My files for this user account are still there in C: User but I can't find a way to get there.

    Googleing this problem I saw things about problems with the accounts being listed as AccueilCompte, or administrator, but it did get me anywhere, the only difference I've seen after going through all that I saw in Win7 Home Premium, which had to do with user accounts, it is that my original account was registered in a field as 'owner '. I don't know if it's part of the problem or not. How can I return to my original account and why isn't she appear on the opening screen of session or user accounts?

  • Illustrator CC will launch only in the new user account.

    I had trouble with the main user account settings causing newly installed apps crashing.

    I couldn't install Adobe Creative Cloud apps on the main account... they kept crashing on launch.

    With the help of Adobe Support (take control remotely from my Mac), after having tried and tried to install it on my main user account, that they finally successfully the installed in a new account user without problem. However, it's a workaround and not the best solution.

    It seems that the account settings user principal is in contradiction with the launch of the product. On installing successfully on the new user account they strongly suggest that I should now get in touch with you, the guys at Apple support to verify authorization/main user account settings and check if there is no certain permissions that may conflict with Adobe Illustrator CC.

    As advised, I contacted Apple Supprt and spent several hours and has done the following with their help:

    DISK UTILITY

    The disk verified permissions

    The repaired disk permissions

    Disc checked

    ADOBE PRODUCTS

    Confirmed that Acrobat Pro XI worked in the Admin user account

    Confirmed that Dreamweaver CC worked to the Admin user account

    Confirmed that InDesign CC worked to the Admin user account

    Confirmed that the bridge CC worked to the Admin user account

    Confirmed that Photoshop CC worked to the Admin user account

    Confirmed that Illustrator CC doesn't have a user Admin account, but has worked in the new user account.

    Uninstalled Illustrator CC and reinstalled through Creative Cloud CC

    Removed all 17 Illustrator preferences in both libraries

    As before Illustrator CC doesn't have a user Admin account, but has worked in the new user account.

    APPLE SUPPORT SUGGESTION

    I'll be back for you, by saying: "...". This would be better handled by the adobe User support REPS specific errors can occur in any application and there are things that the 3rd third party provider can look at to solve this problem. »

    I'm getting hit back like a tennis ball. Any solid suggestions? Everyone has been through this loop?
