Can not be logged as an administrator

I've been running XP with no one else that me as administrator, with no named users, I received a message that I wanted to change him compelled me to be logged in as an administrator to try to see how I was really connected, I added a new user and assigned State of the user as an administrator when I rebooted the computer only about half of the icons on the desktop that presented themselves and many of those did not work correctly.  When I tried to delete the new user to go back to my home state that the computer says I can't because that would leave no user as administrator HOW CANI GET BACK to HAVING ONLY myself AS ADMINISTRATOR WHERE the COMPUTER OPERATED NORMALLY any help will be greatly appreciated as I have tried everything I can think of without success

It is not named "C:\documents and settings\old_administrator".

Assuming you have two users who are on the homescreen named BOB and JOE, when you look at C:\Documents and Settings\ you should see folders (directories) following:

Administrator
All users
BOB
JOE

If you followed this step in the Article-

  • In Windows Explorer, click on Tools, Folder Options, click the view tab, click show the hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box and then click OK.

Then you will also see the following folders (normally hidden):

Default user
LocalService
NetworkService

Do not make any changes to these 3 files normally hidden.

In my previous post, I assumed that (a) you had used the account named Administrator and (b) that you are now going to use the account named BOB.  Therefore, you want to copy the files and folders of

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur" {account you used}

TO

"C:\Documents and Settings\Bob" {the account that you will use from now on}

As the KB article notes, copy all files and folders with the exception
Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
and
Ntuser.ini

The reason that you need to create the "computer administrator" account of JOE, it's that you cannot copy files to or from the account that you are logged.  Once the copy has been successfully accomplished, you no longer need JOE and can remove it (using the control panel > user accounts).

  • ColdFusion error: can not find the file /CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

    I know, you can google this question and get a lot of responses to this topic, but none of them does not seem to work for me.

    I have a new server, RHEL5, with the latest installation of the LAMP on it, and I just install Coldfusion 9.

    When I visit my site, I get the Coldfusion error saying


    File not found: /index.cfm

    If I navigate to an HTML or php is very good, they server properly. And the error I get is the blue/gray coldfusion, then the coldfusion server is running.

    And I've narrowed the problem to this...

    /var/www/vhosts/site.co.uk/index.cfm - this is served

    but the root of my site is really

    /var/www/vhosts/site.co.uk/httpdocs/index.cfm - coldfusion cannot see this file!

    I found this

    /var/www/vhosts/site.co.uk/index.cfm

    in the cfserver.log. But I can not find anywhere which refers to "/ var/www/vhosts/site.co.uk/" as root.

    JRun - Web.xml is a system path to /var/www/vhosts/site.co.uk/httpdocs and inside "bin/coldfusion" the DOCROOT is set to the value

    "/ var/www/vhosts/site.co.uk/httpdocs".

    What I am doing wrong?

    I got it fixed, the problem was the RUNTIME_USER variable has been defined in various places to "nobody".

    I managed to solve the problem through this blog entry

    http://nzflew.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-user-of-ColdFusion-on-Linux.html

    The "nobody" user had no rights of access to view the files. I did the mistake of installing with the default value of 'nobody' user name too.

    Thanks for your help anyway.

  • Can not disarmed "run as Administrator"

    I have an application which is supposed to be launched at startup via a registry entry in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\run. The application does not start when I connect to a standard user account. The app will run when I log into an administrator account. Application troubleshooting tips help States off the 'run as administrator' option for the *.exe file.

    But it seems that I can not disable the 'run as administrator ' option for a standard user. Once connected the standard user and I opened the properties on the exe file dialog box and look for the Compatibility tab, the "Run as Administrator" box is checked and grayed out. When I click on the "change settings for all users", the "Run as Administrator" option is unchecked. When logged in as an administrator, the "Run as Administrator" box is unchecked and not greyed out.

    As indicated, the user is a standard user.
    My OS is Windows 7 Pro x 64. The program files are in the C:\Program Files (x 86).

    What I'm missing here?
    Thank you
    John

    Hello Ganesh,

    Thanks for answering my question.

    I'm not sure you understood my question. The program didn't need to run with elevated privileges. But I couldn't uncheck the "run this program as Administrator" for the standard user.

    But after seeing your response and working on it, even once, I managed to solve it. In the control panel > user accounts, I temporarily put the administrator account. Then I could deselect him ' run as administrator.

    Nice day

    Let me soce entry details:

    1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
    It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
    2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
    3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
    That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

    Hello JENNIESUTHERLAND,

    When you set up Windows, you must create a user account. This account is an administrator account, which allows you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use.  I would suggest trying to log in as an administrator and leaving the password blank, to see if set you it to no password.

    If you are unable to access your computer as an administrator because you lost or forgotten your password please see below.

  • Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

    OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

    Hi PAM,.

    In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

    To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

    The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

    A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

    An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

    If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

    If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
