• my password the computer administrator account is gone!

  I use windows xp / professional and the user account password has been protected and the administrator of the computer. I went to add another user without password account and limited access for my computer can be used by others. The second user account is NOT an administrator and without a password.  two user accounts have been works fine for a while then I connected under the account password protected user uses a new password I did and when I tried to open a session ii it I refused and told me to ask my computer administrator but IAM the ADMINISTRATOR of the COMPUTER! . I went to 'start' to disconnect and change users, but the user protected password is now gone! Where could he have gone if I logged in with the password and how to return it? I have everything under this account! Oh and I CHECKED DOCUMENT AND SETTINGS AND I SEE THE FOLDER BUT IT SAYS FILE EMPTY AND ACCESS DENIED! Help!

  My guess is that you use the built-in for your first account administrator account.  When you add another account, the built-in Administrator account is hidden so the 'Friendly Welcome' logon screen. (The expected behavior is that the first account ever created will be an administrator account for you with the other accounts to follow - the internal administrator is then hidden emergency purposes)   Given that the content of the folders under "Documents and Settings" for other users is by default protected, you cannot see or access it from your other user.  All this is expected.  Chances are that your files are still there and still recoverable.

  To verify that your account still exists, open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  net users
  This example displays a list of all the users that currently exist on your computer.  To connect under your former administrator account, you may need to temporarily disable the welcome friendly login screen and manually provide the user name and password in the logon screen "classic  The procedure to do this is shown here:

  "How to change the logon window and the shutdown preferences in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/291559 >

  who will basically tell you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at the user-friendly home screen.

  I can't help you if you end up having password problems.  But last spring might be to boot your machine to free Linux Livecd like Knoppix, back up your files on a USB key and reinstall Windows.  Other solutions could be google from non-Microsoft sources.

• The administrative services of the local communities are gone?

  When you pull administrative services. You are in a screen that says local services. There is NOTHING listed. Before it happened there was a lot of things that were available to change. Now it's note listed. I tried restore to a date much earlier, it did not work. I even tried the 3rd party software, it didn't work. I tried the SFC Windows, no it does not work and found nothing wrong.

  Please tell me how to restore the list.

• URL doesn't fully load as if firefox run as administrator! Why?

  I have a URL I want to see. The URL stopped working on my laptop computer based Vista but still works OK on my windows 7 based PC.

  The URL is "http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP & to = CHF & view = 1 M".

  The bit that does not work is the display of the chart and I discovered earlier that uses the flash and Java.

  Thinking I had somehow discarded to the top of my Installation of Firefox I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Having previously saved and then restored by the Favorites and passwords (using the password exporter Addon).

  None other than default Addons outside exporting password and add block.

  I discovered that if I start the newly installed Firefox normally figure on the URL does not, but if I run Firefox as administrator the graphic URL appears correctly.

  I'm not very happy about running normally Firefox as administrator!

  Can anyone tell what is the cause of this or give me an alternative, less drastic detour around the issues.

  Thanks in advance.

  PS I suspect it's a question that might require the attention of one of the developers of Firefox.

  This doesn't seem to be a question of protected mode because after doing the "ProtectedMode = 0" the problem disappeared.

  Still don't understand why flash introduced the amendment if the net result means that flash has gone from something that works in something that no longer works. Of course, it is safer. There is no problem to use something that does not work because it is not adjusting to the departure.

• When they surf on the web as an administrator, Firefox remembers usernames and password, but when words I surfed as a standard user, it doesn't.

  Before Firefox updated to 6, my user ID and passwords that I had saved, or ask the site to remember was always available. If I close the browser and later began a new session, my ID's were still on the Web site when I went to them. After yesterday, 31/08/2011, updated at 6, when I close the browser after a session, usernames and passwords are gone and must be re-entered. This only happens when I sail as a "standard" user If I surf the web as administrator, all my saved info is still there.

  No worries; Type "subject: config" into your address bar, and you should get an alert guarantee invalidated. I leave the checkmark in the box for warn me next time.

  After you click "I'll be careful", Firefox shows you multiple options, I'm guessing around 1500. Entering 'form' in the filter will only display options containing this string. Options I searched automatically deal with remembering the info you repeatedly enter in web forms.

  Some changes require a reboot, and I'm not hip to that. At least in this case, you will still restart to see if it worked.

  It is also critical that navigating the Windows registry, but the same kind of precautions apply; You can seriously break your stuff here. Just like Windows and the registry, a clean reinstall can fix everything you break here, but it's always a concern that you would avoid instead. Be careful and patient.

  Take notes, which you change the value, so you can change back - right click to copy the name of the option, its value or both, thus facilitating a list of notebook. Remember that you may need to change a couple.

  I am not sure that these options can relieve your frustrations, but this is my last idea in addition to a clean reinstall of Firefox.

• In the System Recovery Options administrator password?

  Hello dear users of Toshiba.

  I'm willing to use the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" in the "System Recovery Options" (after pressing F8 when the computer starts) but when I select Administrator as a user, he invites me for a password.

  I double checked my Vista user accounts and the administrator (me) is certainly not no matter what password that are bound to him.
  My problem is that I can't use recovery tool if I don't log in as an administrator...

  Can someone please help? Y at - it factory default password?

  Thanks to you all!

  Hello

  To be honest, your announcement confused me a bit especially the part where you wrote: but when I select Administrator as a user. I don't understand what you mean with it.
  But first some basic information:

  Can you imagine you use Toshiba notebook with the settings and someone will make a joke and use the F8 option and reinstall Vista. All of your settings, data and pre-installed software will be gone. Or can someone just use cell phones stolen to get around Vista secure password for laptop and do clean install of Vista using F8 option.

  To avoid this Toshiba has this security feature and each try to reload Vista password OS will be refused. So if you use the password to log in to Vista the same password will be required before the installation of recovery begins. By default, there is no password and the name of the administrator account will be shown when you start the recovery procedure. When you enter the correct password, the installation will continue.

  So much about the theory. I don't know how you do and which account you use, but the fact is, without administration account name and correct password, you won't be able to install Vista using this HARD drive recovery option.

• Unable to access the hidden administrator account to install programs

  original title: passwords and security

  Uncle installation the computer for us and put a lot of security, now the anti-virus is out of stock and we cannot install anything because admin settings, the admin account is also hidden but tried to reappear on the command line but it does not allow me to do. My uncle is gone for that and how to get help, I tried a lot of things, but the same is displayed on the screen, whenever I want to download something, it appears a box asking me to insert the administrator password, but there is no type in the box where I can type not I know the password of course... What can I do?

  Hello

  Better cases are to contact your uncle and get the password. If the antivirus has expired, you should be able to renew it without having to install a new.

• While creating a new account, my own disappeared "computer administrator account.

  When I created a new user account for my girls, my own family's missing "computer administrator account. Everything that I have now is my "acct kids" who says it is my "admin acct comp' now and all my icons, Favorites, all is gone and can't find it. I didn't delete it, I don't think. When I go to remove user accounts, it isn't here either. I made a password for my account before it disappeared however. Can I retrieve it somehow like that? I'm so disappointed.

  It is a feature, not a bug.

  Windows XP has a built-in account named "Administrator" (without the quotes).  The design idea was that you should only use this account for "emergencies" and not to use it on a daily basis.  This is because that the accounts of users, sometimes, be damaged, it is useful to have a verified account with full administrative access that you can use to fix things.

  To "enforce" this idea (or at least to encourage users to follow), as soon as you create a new account with "Computer administrator" privileges, Windows XP hidden administrator on the Welcome screen.

  The administrator account is still there.

  If you have Windows XP Pro, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice during to the home screen when you are logged on all accounts.  You will get the "classic" logon window  Enter Administrator as the user and the password defined.

  If you have XP Home Edition, you must start the computer Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key just after the restart.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long to start typing and have to start over.  You can use this method without failure for XP Pro as well.  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account appears on the Welcome screen.

  You have two options at this point: (1) make a new "computer administrator" account for your everyday use and copy to administrator stuff (and then let administrator not used except for emergency situations) or (2) create a "computer administrator" account that you will use that with the exception of emergency situations and make administrator appear on the Welcome screen.  I suggest you to option (1).

  (1): see "workgroup" mode here--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 account 'Administrator' you used is the "corrupt" account the "new user profile' is the new account that you create which has"computer administrator"privileges and you will need to log on to an account with "computer administrator" privileges to do all this - which can be the 'kids' acct (which, depending on your position, does not have these privileges).

  (2): make the administrator account visible on the homepage: http://www.theeldergeek.com/missing_administrator_account.htm
  C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT allows you to make a backup of the registry before start you.

  Note: once you have things under control and have a spare part "computer administrator" account, regardless of how you choose to do, I suggest you do your children has a "Limited user" account to limit the amount of malice, they are able to do (of course, if they are more than 8 years they will be able to find a way to work around this problem).

• 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.

• XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

  Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

  You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

  Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

  You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

  For XP Home:

  You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

  For XP Pro:

  Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

  Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.

• How to restore my admin account that I accidentally deleted? no administrator account was created in place of

  How to restore an Administrators account that was accidentally deleted before the creation of the new Administrators account?  Windows XP

  I have another account directors, but it changed right before user privileges.

  How to restore an Administrators account that was accidentally deleted before the creation of the new Administrators account?  Windows XP

  I have another account directors, but it changed right before user privileges.

  Windows Xp has a default Administrator account that are visible only in safe mode when a new admin account has been created. Cannot delete the administrator account by default no matter what you do. When you remove a user, and then you get these options on the screen:

  (a) delete files
  (b) keep the files
  (c) cancel

  If you have selected a) then the files are well and truly gone. I'm sorry. However, if you selected option b) then you will be able to see the profile in C:\Users folder.

  Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted to choose an account select administrator. Re-create the user profile.

• "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:

• I come to me on my computer and everything was gone. All my files, shortcuts and backround have simply disappeared. It's like I've never been on my computer before. I have nothing! How to get everything back?

  I come to me on my computer and everything was gone. All my files, shortcuts and backround have simply disappeared. It's like I've never been on my computer before. I have nothing! How to get everything back?

  You have been discharged into a temporary user account. It may be a glitch, or your user account may be damaged. First try a system restore when things worked. If it suits it, fine. If it is not then your account is damaged and the best thing to do is to create a new user account and copy your data from the old to the new. I would also like to do a Chkdsk and then some hardware diagnostics on the hard drive and RAM to make sure that the material is solid.

  CHKDSK - click here to open the computer. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties. Click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

  To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  Click Start.

  Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  Note: If you select automatically errors in file system of fix for a disc that is used (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you will be prompted, see the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

  Corrupt user account - if your single administrative user account is damaged (and therefore have what one user account is A Bad Thing), you must log on to the built-in Administrator (disabled by default in Vista) account. From there, you can create a new user account for yourself. In these cases, I prefer not to copy the whole profile to a new way to do not copy the bits corrupt. I prefer a new user account to copy the data (documents, photos, emails, etc.). Here are the instructions to do this. I assumed that you had only an administrative account, then you might want to take a look at the "general recommendations for setting Up user accounts in Vista" 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.

  Activation of the built-in administrator.

  Method 1. 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 [Enter]

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD, you can either make a bootable DVD of Vista repair in the file at 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.

  After net user, remove the bootable CD and restart the computer. You will now see an icon for administrator on the Welcome screen. Connect to this account.

  Method 2. Or you can use NTpassword to enable the built-in administrator. In both methods, you need third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data.

  http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

  B. create a new user account for yourself and by copying data from your damaged to her user account

  1. you are now connected to the built-in Administrator account. Go to control panel > user accounts and create a new Standard user for your daily work. Let's call it "Sheldon" for this example. Also create an administrator user, called 'CompAdmin' (or 'Tech' or similar).

  4 Ouvrezunesession 'Sheldon' once for profile files are created. Now log off 'Sheldon' and 'CompAdmin '. In "CompAdmin", disable the built-in security administrator. Do this from a command prompt:

  Start > Search > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK to the UAC prompt. Now, you will get the command prompt. Type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter] and exit the command prompt.

  5. always in 'CompAdmin', you want to open two windows explore side by side. Open computer and navigate to C:\Users\old-corrupted-account. Now, do that again, but navigate to C:\Users\Sheldon. Copy the data from 'old-corrupted-account' on records in 'Sheldon '. Remember your Favorites, bookmarks (if you use Firefox) and by e-mail if you use an email like Windows Mail client.

  6. When you are finished, log in to "Sheldon. All your stuff should be there. When you are sure to have what you need, you can remove the old man-corrupted-account control panel > user accounts.

  General C. 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 an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  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. 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!

  1. Windows automatically updated and turn off the power.
  2. I couldn't connect, it says that the service user profile service does not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
  3. Then I deleted my user profile in SafeMode by doing: 'make right click on computer - properties - settings - advanced - user - deleted my old account profile settings '. There is no option for me to "keep my files."
  4. Then I managed to connect, I guess having creates a default user account? Because there is a new folder in C:\Users\, called (former name). (old name) - PC. In C:\Users\(old name), it is empty.

  Now, all my original files are gone because I deleted my old user profile. The size of my c: drive-has not changed much, so I guess all my files are still in only my computer, it's just that I can't find their "PATH". How could I get re-navigate to all my files? I need them so badly.
