After an update of windows, I can't not access my administrator account.


Original title:
windows update
After a windows update, I can't access my administrator status.  It does not recognize my password.  Other work of accounts and passwords.  How to regain access?

Hi Gwen,

As other accounts work correctly, try to connect to any of the user account that has permission to the administrator and change the password of the account that fails to connect.

See the following suggestions to change the password:

1. open a session any account administrator on the computer.
Note: You must be logged in as an administrator in order to change the password of the account another.
2 click Start, type Control Panel in the search box, click on Control Panel and click user accounts.
3 click on Manage another account.

4. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes (if connected as administrator) or enter the administrator password (if connected as a standard user).
5 select the user account that you want to change the password.

6 click change the password.

7 type the new password once, twice to confirm the new password, an index of passwordoption, and then click change password.

8 when you're done, you can now close the change to an account window if you wish.

I hope this helps.

  • After the updates of Windows 7 computer does not start

    I received a notice from the system Windows 7 updates have been downloaded and available for installation. I selected the installation of updates. After the updates when installed I was in charge to restart. The computer will not start at the top. It tries but stops at a blue screen with a cursor. I tried to boot into "safe mode" and get the same. I booted from my original Windows 7 disc and I went back to my restore point before the update. It appeared to restore successfully but I still get a blue screen.
    What is my next course of action? I certainly DON'T want to format the drive and start again.

    The only thing I can say is that I know that you will not like to hear.

    It is to re - install Windows 7 (do not enter the product key and uncheck the 'Activation').

    Then immediately turn off automatic updates.

    Then, go to the Microsoft Update site and only install one update at a time (make a note of the number KBXXXXXX), restart and check that you do not get the blue screen. Then download the next update and repeat the process until you either find to have installed the offending update or updates without any problem. If all goes well and the problem did not repeat, then you can activate Windows.

    If you find yourself always with the blue screen after a given Update call Microsoft and tell them. If they won't listen, then create a new post on this forum, making reference to the question of the blue screen AND the number associated with the update. Also post the number here if I can do some research on the problem.

  • How can I regain access MyWindowsApp administrator account on Vista?

    I changed my password last summer and actually I FORGOT my new password. I have locked my account administrator, but have been able to access through the guest account settings. I didn't know that Vista required to create a password reset disk before I changed the password. How can I regain access to the administrator account without having the password reset disk?

    Hello

    I think you left it too late in what concerns the use of the password for the original as requiring the use of a system restore point which, after this time may not yet exist

    but you can try it

    If this does not work, you will need to reinstall vista

    This is the information from microsoft on you assist on passwords

  • I can not access my administrator account.

    I created two accounts on my computer an os win xp, administrator of one and the other. My computer does not show me the two accounts on the login screen so I get no option to connect to my administrator account. It automatically goes on the second account. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    Under normal circumstances XP Home does not have the single account defined to be anything other than an administrator account. If she did, then you might get caught in a situation that requires an administrative account to rectify but do not have a.

    If you need an account to access for some reason, you'll be...

    Create another administrator account, after which you can change "Mr. Hernu" to limited

    ... or...

    Create another account limited

    On behalf of Mr. Haroon (or any other administrative account) must be able to all the administrative tasks, including adding or remove programs.

    I hope that clarifies your situation.

    For your information, there is an administrator account in XP Home called Administrator, but it is only accessible by starting in safe mode. I wouldn't recommend using this account for anything other than to emergency situations.

    In regards to your problem of disk space, 20 GB is virtually nothing these days. I'm not surprised that you run lack of space. Will help to run Disk Cleanup (start - all programs-Accessories System Tools), but that might only postpone the need for a bigger hard drive.

    Please follow my previous advice (I added to edit) about the issues you are experiencing deletion of programs.

  • Windows xp sp3 system root of the Hal.dll error or not found after auto update of windows system corrupt does not load.

    12/07/2011 my system automatically downloaded a system update and rebooted when it restarted, it wouldn't load windows and gave this error message. What should I do? I tried to remove the hard drive and put it on another computer if I could look at the problem but I don't know what to do to fix. My backup information are on another hard drive in the original computer. I use Norton 360 for my backups.

    It is extremely unlikely, there is nothing wrong with your file hal.dll despite what says the error message (do not try to replace).

    It is extremely likely that XP just cannot find the fine hal.dll where it says to look for.

    XP is maybe not able to find the file, it's file system is corrupted (Norton that sometimes), or if your c:\boot.ini has somehow become corrupted and told XP to find files in never never land.

    You must first run a chkdsk /r on your distressed HARD drive and if that does not do it, you have to redefine your boot.ini file.

    If you have the drive in another machine, you can open the file c:\boot.ini with a text editor and copy/paste the content back here for analysis.

    You can also rename your file c:\boot.ini to something like c:\boot.ini.bak (so now you do not).  In a single partition installation, XP is not even a file c:\boot.ini to start.  He'll complain briefly, but always begin (unbelievers - try it).

    t can take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    I'll keep an eye on your Norton since when your charge again, Norton System may corrupt your file system again and you will have to repeat the chkdsk/r to repair (so you can set Norton).

    I put the drive in the original system and fix it there with the XP Recovery Console.  After all, it's where he has to work, right?

    If you have any bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can start the XP Recovery CD of Console, you can make a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  • HP EliteBook 850 G3: HP EliteBook 850 G3: its problems after the update of Windows 10 anniversary

    Hi people!

    After the update of Windows 10 birthday I have problems with my sound card. There are two sound cards listed by Device Manager. The first is "Conexant Audio of ISST" and the second "Intel High Definition Audio". I know not weather it was the case before the update. I just recognized it after the update when I had sound problems.

    In any case, on a sound start works on the other boot it does not work. It seems that Windows chooses the sound card, every time when it starts. Sometimes it takes the bad sound card.

    I tried to uninstall maps its and their resettlement. On the HP site, there is a driver for the Conexant map bot no driver for Intel High Definition Audio card. 10 Windows itself is not find a driver for this sound card. I also tried to reinstall the other drivers, chipset drivers for example. But unfortunately it did not help. I also tried to disable the Intel High Definition Audio, but also without success.

    What else can I try? I don't want to reinstall Windows. There must be a solution without this. Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of my device manager, perhaps it helps:

    If you need more information, please let me know.

    Best regards

    Ty

    I just tried this driver and I still have sound after 6 resets.

    Adobe Premiere is freezing and reading lag after 2015 update on Windows 7.

    I use the software a few hours a day and I can say that previous versions of the products worked well and I never had any real problems in the previous 18 months - the new version is somewhat a mess.

  • Satellite P200-P100 - black screen after an update of Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-P100 running Windows 7.
    A few weeks ago after an update of Windows 7, my monitor would not show any image, that she lit up, but still no picture. Not even the BIOS it will appoint.

    I fixed it by using the system restore using a different monitor. The same thing happened again today, I must have ran the same update, but this time a system restore does not, any more than to reinstall Win 7.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You mean you don't see anything about internal or external monitor, even switching of the output of the screen by pressing the FN + F5 buttons?
    Hmm. in my opinion has nothing to do with the Windows 7 update

    I mean the update/install of Win 7 OS should not affect the BIOS and you should be able to access the BIOS, even if no operating system is installed on the HARD drive!
    So I guess the question could be linked to the question of the motherboard or some parts placed on the motherboard

    Have you tried that?
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    Then wait a little (1 hour) and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try to turn on the device

    If this will not help the RAM modules must be verified.
