Administrator rights for administrators?

My Ex bf changed the administrator rights for administrators and has my Pc a mess... Is it possible to fix this easily? Help!

Hi vc.

I then this Windows security and users of the Forum where experts may be able to offer a less radical solution.

For example, you tried to activate the hidden administrator account (it cannot not thought to change (if he could)) and it might be possible to use it to restore things to normal (depending on what has been done) in a much simpler way.

There may be other options too (or a relocation can be justified) according to what has been done and which means "my PC is a mess."  Could you please provide more details, including your operating system?

Thanks and good luck!

  • Need administrator rights for the Intel on Satellite Pro 2100 speed step

    Hello
    I have a Satellite PRO 2100 (Pentium 4 1.9 GHz).
    I have a problem with the function of the Intel speed step, which reduces the speed of the processor at 1.2 GHz. But I have a problem: I can do this, if I use an administrator account...
    After starting, if I connect with a simple user account, the Intel speed step works... and the speed of the cpu remains at 1.9 GHz.
    So I would like to use this function with a simple user account, how do I do it please?

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hello

    As far as I know that this application is not shipped with the image of Toshiba and it s not made not part of the image.
    But I put t see any big problems. You will need to change your account administrator rights. In this case, you will need to ask someone the admin right to edit your account.

    The other possibility is to change the law for this software. There can be changes as by admin. What you can change in the Security tab in the program properties. Full control must be set to all.

    Then, it should be possible to use this application with your account.

    Hi all.  Our friendly staff of the TI, for security reasons, have removed us the rights administrator on our PC.  Because Captivate requires administrator rights to work properly, they have somehow allowed admin for Captivate only rights.  If the application runs successfully, except the help - updates option is grayed out and unavailable.  So I can't run Adobe Application Manager (or whatever it's called) and have no idea when one of Adobe applications, I installed (I have the e-Learning Suite) are updated.  So my question is, how can I be made aware of updates to the Adobe software?  I have check the Adobe Captivate Blog everyday and keep an eye on this Forum Captivate.  Is there another source of update notice?

    Does not not even mentioning if there is an update, can I install it is more - I need to get the COMPUTER staff to do.  It's a crazy finish reaction in my opinion, but my opinion is not enough.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I always try to talk about newly released patches everywhere... but important fixes are going to be spoken on the blog of Captivate I trust.

  • How to add administrative rights for pc

    Hello, I want to add the permission admin for photos, files and the router password.  How can I do to do that. Thank you.

    Hello

    You can use the drive encryption BitLocker to protect all files stored on the drive Windows is installed on (operating system drive) and on data drives (for example, internal hard drives). Your can use BitLocker To Go to help protect all files stored on removable data drives (such as external hard drives or USB flash drives).

    I suggest you to see the following link on how to enable the bit locker drive.

  • Provide for the user administrator rights

    Hi Experts,

    I'll add a new user in an instance. what I need to do, is I want to give administrative rights for this new user. Can someone give the solution for this. I have to give admin right is in RPD or presentation services?

    Your condition is still unclear.
    because you don't me of the catalogue or SPR admin rights should be applied to this user?
    What exactly are you requirement?

    If you want to connect to RPD with this user, it must be he added to the Administrators group in the RPD

    Now, log in to the service of presentation, go to manage users and groups option under settings > Administration...

    Add this user to the catalogue of presentation server administrators group...

    It could be that useful...

    Note: To add this user to the Administrators group of the catalogue, that the user must connect at least once on the presentation service, then only this user appears in the list of users when adding...

  • A user in domain local group administrators is not administrator rights

    Trying to figure out what the problem is with the computer of a friend at work.

    When you connect as long as domain user that is part of the local Administrators group, the user looks like he doesn't have administrator rights. For example, they are unable to create files in certain folders, etc where you wait for only admin to be.

    If the computer is in safe mode, then everything works as expected.

    If the same newspaper users in another machine on the network, while everything looks ok.

    It just seems to be on a machine that he has problems.

    All local group settings look ok and permissions on individual files look ok - and they work in safe mode.

    This is a friends working machine, and for now, he tries to avoid his reconditioned machine to work around this problem. There is no restore point for him to try (it's out of our hands). We tried a number of things right, but nothing was any use so far - other than to try safe mode, but we do not know how to use this info.

    Any advice on how this track more would me much appreciated!

    OK, now that we are talking about. The files you mention are all the system folders. They enjoy special protection under Windows 7 to prevent rogue programs to do things behind your back when you are signed in under an administrator account. It goes the same for the root of C:. You can create folders here, but you cannot create files.

    Click Start, click Help, and then seek help on UAC learn more.

    Hi marydollar,
    1. which is the program that you are trying to install?
    2. you are the administrator of the computer?
    3. you receive a similar error message during the installation of other applications as well?
    Try to install the application with administrator rights by following this step:
    a. Locate the .exe program file in Windows Explorer.
    b. right click on the .exe file and then click Run as administrator.
    c. when the UAC message is displayed, do one of the following:
    o if logged in as a standard user, or if UAC is configured to always require credentials, enter the appropriate administrative credentials, and then click OK.
    o If you logged in as an administrator and UAC is not configured to always need credentials, click Yes to start the application.
