An unknown user shown in my command "net user"!

• Problem with the command net user. Please help ASAP!

  What is happening on Windows XPI logged on as administrator on my computer, then in the command prompt, I typed: net user administrator active: / Yes (and pressed enter). After that I restarted the computer, I can not connect, and was my password (password). Please help me as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you!

  Your syntax is incorrect for the command "net user".  You probably wanted to enter the command:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes

  The syntax of the command 'net user' (according to this article) is:
      net user [Username [password |]] *] [options]] [/domain/domain]

  All options begin with a forward slash character (/)

  By omitting the character "/" before "active:", you have probably changed the password of user 'Administrator' in "active:" or "active: / Yes" depending on whether you entered a space before the 'yes '.  Try to connect as an administrator when you enter that as your administrator password.

• Probem connection after you use the command net user

  Hi all

  I have 2 accounts on my Windows Vista PC. Administrator (the built-in account) and the user account that has administrator privileges. I ran the command:
  > net user administrator /active on
  thinking it would activate the administrator account and post it on the Welcome screen. It returns "command completed successfully". Now that I am trying to access an account, I get an error of inconsistency of name of user and password.
  I don't know what the part "/ active on" the command has been understood. I tried like password, but it didn't work.
  Any ideas?
  See you soon,.

• change of administrative password through back command net user

  Hello

  I created myself as an administrator on a windows operating system 7 and my child is able to bypass the setting that I put on their use using the dos command "net user" the _ what to think Microsoft having a command where things can be changed anyway?  How can I block this "net user"?  System is not secure

  The problem isn't with Microsoft, but with you. If you give your child account of administrator privileges, then they can change any password, regardless of the method, it uses (GUI or console command). If you want access to his account at restricted then must downgrade to the level of an ordinary user.

• unknown user may have reset my administrator and password of the user access.

  Woke up at 3:00 to hear the computer by clicking on, running 2 programs, one was Majic Jack the other did not. went to user accounts to search for an unknown user. Remove the user, VRI.net or something like that, but the first google
  He and found to be a developer software any. restarted after 55 keep me informed but wouldn't show it to them. I also changed the Welcome screen options, then after reboot shows my user name, but won't accept my password. Can it be delivered starting CMD line in mode sans-echec? and more importantly, how to prevent this in the future?

  Whenever someone thinks that their computer has been compromised, I suggest you have a local professional come on site to diagnose and repair. Respectfully, a regular user of the end won't know what to look for and how to secure the computer correctly.

  As for your password:

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

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

  Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• unknown user Skype with my email

  [The update by the moderator topic title should be more descriptive. [Original topic title was: 'unknown user Skype']

  Today at approximately 11:26, a Skype user, I've never added before is appeared on the list of my friend? Their display name is set to one of my emails (which is not registered to this Skype account including) and to my knowledge has no connection with the account that I currently use.

  I called and texted. The call never crossed and the message sent, no more. They have no user name in their info, only 'messenger' Panel, where the username is supposed to be.

  Anyone know what it is? It could be a kind of robot, but I don't know because this email is not connected to it. This could be because I have connected to the Skype account that the bot is associated on this computer, but I'm not sure.

  Screenshots down below.

  Any help or ideas for what this might be is greatly appreciated.

  Hello networktec,

  1. you have access to the files and folders on the Windows partition when you work inside VMWare?

  If the security on the files/folders tab will then a user/group account that has the username inside VMware listed list. This could be the reason that the user name is created. Unknown user can be a part of the Vmware software.

  However, I suggest that you post your question to the VMware community to see if it is the cause of the unknown account:

• unknown user account - S-1-5-21-98 preventing access to the images on an external hard drive

  original title: account unknown user - S-1-5-21-98... PREVENTING ME ACCESS to MY PHOTOS on external hard drive

  Im having problems accessing copy, editing and viewing my photos on my drive external hard .it says I don't have permissions to access the file .and the file belongs to an unknown user account. How can I have access to these files?

  I think that this resulted that I changed my operating system from windows home basic/vista (not sure what operating system) Windows 7 ultimate.

  IM using HP530, 2g of RAM, windows 7 ultimate, 32 bit

  the external hard drive is a samsung HD103SI, 1 TB model

  I saw the pictures and found that you had to the security of the folder/file. From there, change the owner of your current account. The account unknown S-1-5-21-98... user id internal to the user account that created the file and so you have the permission of that user, which is impossible because even if you create a user account with the same name, the user id cannot be the same.

  Also, as mentioned in one of the boxes of dialogue, appropriating the folder/file and then delete the unknown user account.

  Try the above, if the file/folder is not encrypted/protected.

• Unknown user?

  I was looking at the thing of properties on my computer and the security, it was an unknown user.

• Search ACS 4.2 order unknown user from database

  Hello

  I have several user databases in the search order for the unknown user policy. Ignoring the manual (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/UnknUsr.html#wp277530), which States that, after the failure of authentication from the first database (Windows) the ACS does not continue to look for the second database, a RADIUS server. I see that, with the failure in the first user, database stops the ACS research and fails to the user authentication with an authentication failure code "external DB password invalid.

  Documentation not going or is this a bug in the ACS v4.2.1? How can I make the ACS to continue to seek the second database user?

  Hello Roberto,.

  If the external database returns an invalid username/password, then it is intended for ACS is not to check the following data in the sequence and the failure of authentication:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/partner/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/UnknUsr.html#wp277502

  "For authentication requests, ACS applies the unknown unknown user policy to users. ACS does not backup to the known or discovered users authentication failure unknown when user authentication support. »

  If you want that ACS to verify the following database, even if a response from the invalid username/password has been received, you will need to explicitly set this on the external Windows database configuration page, in the section entitled 'Strategy for the unknown user' (but on the database configuration page specific Windows, not covered by the unknown user policy) :

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2.1/User_Guide/UsrDb.html#wp354338

  In addition, on the previous screenshots, I could see that you have configured both as a result of database:

  Windows database

  RADIUS Server token

  So we may be running into a situation where the authentication method used is not supported by the tokens, Radius servers, and therefore impossible to check the second database in the list:

  Hi wimuggss,
   
  Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
  See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?
  Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
   
  Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.
   
  Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.
