can't change administrator Standard user

Am wanting to change the kind of user on my computer. Right now its Admimistrator user defined on and I am wanting to change user Stanard, but it wont let me click on it

Hi CherylTwyman,

1. What is the version of Windows that you are using on the computer?

2. what happens when you try to change the type of user account?

3. how many accounts do you have on the computer?

Check and make sure that you are not connected to the same account user for which you want to change the account type.

Also, you cannot change the account type if you count unique administrator on the computer user.

  • How can my computer change a standard user to an administrator in itself?

    I have three sons. Yesterday, I noticed that the user account for them had been changed from Standard user to administrator. This son don't know how to make such a change, even if he had Admin rights. It happened several times in the past, and after correcting, it happens again.

    Today, I discovered that the accounts of two of my sons have been modified by the Standard user to administrator. Why is this happening? How the computer can change the type of account alone?

    I checked the status of user account control, and the cursor is on "notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer.

    Windows 7 gives me fits in too many areas.

    I login or Administrator status seems to be granted just like my wife.

    -> Have you ever checked if this happens when you start mode safe?

    Frederik, I've responded to your suggestions several times.

    -> September 5, I posted a second script and very detailed instructions. I can't see your response to it. I suspect that you have completely missed.

    When I double-clicked on the program, nothing happened.

    -> If you use the script I posted for you and follow the detailed instructions so the program will not work.

  • RA media server became administrator after changing my standard user account

    What is the password?

    RA media server became administrator after changing my standard user account. Now, I can not retrieve my admin rights because he kept asking admin password that I don't know. System Restore didn't help coz' it was not far enough for the moment I changed my standard user account.

    I called Dell, but I don't want to pay the support service which costs more than a hundred dollars.

    I need some help on how I could get my admin rights back again.

    I have no copy of the installers for some of my important software which is why I'm afraid to reinstall the program, or even do a system recovery.

    I use a 32-bit vista. The only solution I can think of is to get "system user", but I don't know how.

    Please I need help.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/p/19252460/19419355.aspx

    Read information about it to Dell link above.

    It's the Dell software, not Vista.

Now whenever I try to update or install "User Account Control" is constantly asking me to (type an administrator password, and then click OK). The problem is that I can't do this because OK is disabled (grayed out) and no place to type the admin password or the other.

    If you have another administrator user account on your computer then log in and change the account to standard user for the administrator account.   If not, then follow the steps from the link and check if that helps: how to use system restore to log on Windows 7 or Windows Vista when you lose access to an account http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940765/en-us

  • How can I change the standard account on behalf of Administrator without administrator privileges?

    Original title: uac is restricting my access Add or change account

    My uac has no opition for Yes just not how to change my standard account to administrator account

    and how would I do that I deleted my hidden administrator account and my off my guest account so if I didn't change anything, I have to be an administrator if he allows me to have Yes tab revealed to a click...

    When you say that you moved your hidden administrator account, are you talking about the account named "Administrator"? Since it is a built-in account, Windows won't let you remove it.

    If you are referring to your own admin account then removing would be to throw out your safe master key. I can't quite work on how you could do that, but you can get it from this reckless action as follows:
    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you did what you did.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    Hi Shellzak,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community!

    I understand that you can not change the UAC settings on the computer and the system hangs. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Rest assured that I will do my level best to help you.

    Did you of recent changes to the computer before the show?

    I suggest the following method and check if it helps to solve the problem.

    I suggest you try to activate UAC from the command line and check if it helps.

    (a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    (b) run this command

    Reg.exe ADD HKLM/v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1/f

    Registry warning: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • How can I configure the standard user profile in the impossibility to use the command prompt on windows7

    My teen age son knows how to get into the command prompt and use the computer as an administrator temporarily... How can I stop this?  It has a standard user account.

    On the flavors below, you must edit the registry directly by creating the value of HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System! DisableCMD.


     
    How to change the registry? I need more specific measures.
     
    Thank you

    This is not a trivial process for non trained. Also note that open a command prompt does NOT give your son of additional privileges unless he knows the password for an administrator account.
    Please note that if you skip any step then you may have a machine that won't start longer.
    1. Burn a CD to repair Windows via Control Panel / backup and restore.
    2. Test this boot the machine with her CD in the repair of Windows.
    3. Label this CD as "Repair Windows CD", then store it in a safe place.
    4. Start normally. Logging in as an administrator account.
    5. Create a Restore Point.
    6. Log in under your son's account.
    7. Click on the Globe to start, and then type regedit.exe and press ENTER. Enter the credentials of the administrator in case of dispute.
    8. HKey_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows-access
    9. If there is no windows system key, create it:
      Click Edit / new / key, type system, and then press ENTER.
    10. Click on the key to the system.
    11. Click Edit / new / DWord, and then type the letters DisableCMD and press Enter.
    12. Double-click the DisableCMD value, and then type 1 in the data field and press ENTER.
    13. Try to open a command prompt. You should get a message of "deny".

    I don't think it's possible. You will need to give its administrator privileges, even temporarily, or go with it at each location and add them to it.
