• 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.

  Read information about it to Dell link above.

  It's the Dell software, not Vista.

• 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.

• Administrator account type changed from standard

  I have 2 on my pc to Setup user accounts - two of them have been "administrator."  They have now been changed to the standard.  That's happened?  Was it a Vista update that made that change?  I used the built-in Administrator account to log in and then tried to create a new administrator account or to change one of my other administrator accounts and it would not allow me to do.  What else can I do to have an administrator account.  If there is a Vista update that made the change - could you tell me what day it was.

  Thank you

  You said you tried the iin built administrator account - did you mean the account designated in this procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html.  If this is not the case, try to use this procedure to create a new administrator account and see if it works (or use it to modify your current standard accounts administrator accounts and then return the administrator accounts.

  I have not heard of this problem before and if it causes an update, others here would be announcement of similar problems and I never saw any of these positions. Still, it could be caused by an update, but it is unclear what update caused it it you can't help remembering when the problem started and tell us what updates have been installed around this time by number of KB.  If you honestly think that it is a problem of Windows Update, then you should transfer your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where experts in the updates wll be more that happy to help - but since you don't know when the problem started or what update or updates may be the cause It will be very difficult for them to provide recommendations (as it is here for us).

  Hare done you nothing recently requiring administrative rights so that we can determiine when accounts ceased to have administrator rights? Did you all any program?  You did changes in the control panel?  Did you install any new harware or drivers of devices?  NO MATTER WHAT?  You may not go back further than you think to do a restore point that could very well solve the problem if you remember when you did a single administrator can do.  System Restore does not affect your data at all.  You just need to re - install everything you have installed, including updates between now and the restore point.  If it'snly a week or two or even three there, which is probably not so much to do - you do not install several new programs are that often you (and Windows Update will be autormatically re - install the removed updates here so no effort on your part).

  Here is an article on the evolution of the types of user accounts (but you will need to log in as the built-in administrator for this to work since it can only be done by an administrator) and try the second and more advanced option and see if it works better than the normal method: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/122023-user-account-type.html.  While you are connected to the built-in Administrator account, try to do a few other features that require administrator rights to see if it actually has administrator rights itself as it should.  If you can not do all the administrative tasks with this account, then the problem is greater than it seems and we will have to refocuse on the problems of file system or hard drive corruption and we might need to do a re-install to repair/Upgrade from Vista to solve the problem.  Who can still be the case if you are unable to create admninstraror accounts or edit standard accounts to the same administrator accounts by using the built-in Administrator account

  We will try to test your system and hard drive for the corrupton files (and these procedures can sometimes resolve the corruption, but not always):

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are unable to do this, boot from the installation disc and select recovery and continue until you get to a screen of options, including the command line).  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If you use the drive, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command line in the same directory, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  I hope this helps (and I am sorry if my first suggestion bother you so much - it is the most logical solution to this type of problem and works in many cases, not most of the cases - I wasn't aware of the circumstances that you revealed in your response, when I suggested it, but I think that it could still be a viable option if we can identify a reasonably recent time somehow). If this isn't the case, please post back the results of what you did and the results of the analysis that you have run and we can go from there.

  Good luck!

  (b) run this command
