Cannot access hidden admin account?

I use windows vista on a dell latitude D410. recently, I created an admin account hidden via regedit and deleted the original account administrator privileges. now, when I try Ctrl + alt + del on the logon screen, it does nothing. When I try to make everything about the privileges of the admin on the standard account, it asks the admin password, but does not allow for me to enter the password. Instead, it says to insert a smart card. I do not think that my computer can use smart cards... this version of windows vista was installed after I got the computer because it was running ubuntu previously. I can't run the command prompt as an administrator because of the above and the admin account does not display in SafeMode suggestions?

EDIT: I think I can have somehow makes windows forget completely on the admin account, because the folder does not exist among consumers, hidden or not... even when you try to type complete the extension in the address bar, it indicates the path does not exist...

Format the hard drive and reinstall Windows and your applications then leave the administrator account - and in particular the register - only.

  • I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows. Can I use it to connect to my old windows

    original title: passwor

    I have two windows installed on my laptop. Both are windows vista. I could not log on to the windows of the first, because it does not accept my password, even if my password is correct. Then I installed windows again, but did not remove the old windows.

    My question is: I now have a hidden admin account on my second windows.

    Can I use it to connect to my old windows. The old windows is stored in a separate file. I'm the only Admin and the only user.

    Hello

    You will not be able to use the old profile, but the hidden administrator account is activated, you may be able to access files and folders in this account that you have not deleted the profile.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Cannot connect to admin account (the user profile Service failed)

    Hi all
    When I try to access my admin account, well I typed my password, BUT this message appears:

    User profile service failed
    User profile cannot be loaded

    I can get my guest very well account, but can not use my admin... anything that can help please!
    Anyone who can help would be great

    This problem may occur if the user profile folder is deleted manually. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) of the list of profiles in the registry. If the SID is present, Windows will try to load the profile by using the ProfileImagePath that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded. To resolve this problem, see here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215

  • XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

    The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
    I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
    Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
    Thank you

    According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

    The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

    As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)

  • Cannot change my admin account

    Recently, I took my laptop to the team of geeks for some questions. The problems have been resolved and I was told that Windows 8 has been updated to the current version of mist. It comes to my laptop and I know very well that I was the administrator on this computer. I went to go delete an old user account using one of the family. I could very well remove it, but I noticed that there is an admin account. And now he says I am user of "standard". I tried to change my now 'standard' account to an admin and he won't let me. And the new admin account cannot be changed or deleted. It's just there and do anything for her. I was for sure the origin on the computer Admin account. But it seems that since my last update, it created another admin and just changed mine to the standard. Help, please. Thank you.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. When you say upgrade to the latest version? What is Windows 8.1?

    2. What is the name of the administrator account that you found?

    You will not be able to convert your administrator profile if you are using a standard account. That's why we need another administrator account to manage all other accounts. Try if you can connect to other administrator accounts and perform these tasks.

    I suggest you turn on the built in account administrator on Windows 8

    You must run the command from an elevated command prompt. To do that you must do the following:

    a. press on the Windows key for get in the Metro interface if you are not already there.

    b. type cmd and right click on the result of the command prompt to be displayed.

    c. open a list of options below. Select run as administrator it.

    d. accept invites UAC

    Enter the following command to activate the hidden administrator account:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    If you ever want to disable the account follow the same instructions, but run the following command instead:

    NET user administrator / active: No.

    Once you have activated the account, you will see that he listed in the user accounts Control Panel. Note that the account has not assigned a password to it, and that you should consider to set one to improve the security of the accounts.

    You can manage the accounts of current users and convert your administrator user profile.

    Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

  • hidden admin account is unlocked, how to show only in Mode safe

    Recently, I've unlocked the Admin account hidden in my copy of Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  Currently, the account presents itself as one account of another in the normal logon window, and icons for other users.

    I would like to know if there is a way to hide the account in the logon window and only allow him to show when it is safe mode is enacted (as in Windows XP).

    Hello

    This allows try again. It is not good to use the hidden administrator account, as this is the last possible road
    a difficulty if things go really wrong. So make another ADMIN account with your password even. You
    then have two accounts administrator and any number of user accounts set up (not to mention
    the moment hidden the ADMIN account).

    How to create a new user account in Vista (except to raise it to the status of ADMIN)
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/93009-user-account-create.html

    You can have the login screen requires a name and a password so well that you can open a session with a
    Account ADMIN, he is not named. Also we can connect with any valid user account.

    Then, as explained in the link mode without failure in the previous answer, that you can connect with any account

    two ADMIN accounts that you can use) while is safe.

    I hope this helps.

  • I have Windows 7 and cannot access the administrator account

    I am unable to enter my administrator account because I accidentally put the wrong password in place.  I don't remember to save my life.  Unfortunately, I do not have a disk or anything else as a backup so I don't know what my other options would be.

    I really, really need to access my photos and files from the admin account.  Is it possible that I can recover?  Help, please!

  • Help! Cannot return to admin account

    I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion g6. Somehow, my account went under standard user administration. I can't change this back. I tried a few different things without success. I tried to go through the cmd.exe using net user administrator / active: yes when logged in my profile. Did not work. Can not change via Control Panel (even though I used to, now I can't). I tried going through the local users and groups and well, can't find it. It is not listed under Computer Management (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management). Had to do a search for secpol.msc, because it is not come immediately. I tried to open that and got an error strange message that something could not load. Looking now it gives nothing. It comes to MY computer, I always had administrator rights. Could the fact that I have blocked Web sites on my profile through familysafety.microsoft.com have had an impact on it? What else can I do to get the admin restored to my user account? I'm NOT a geek, but I'm not meaning well enough, as long as they are clear (help of screenshots). Help please!

    Here you go:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
    6 plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

  • HELP: I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2 and now I can not reinstall it - also cannot access my adobe account and it is the United States no. CS plus.

    Told me to uninstall my photoshop cs2. My macbook pro went repair and I had to restore from a backup, after which I got this error message when you try to use photoshop: a license for this product has stopped working: restart the computer and try new blah blah blah error code 150:30. I uninstalled stupidily program on the advice of someone in adobe CS in India and now I can't reinstall. Can someone help me please? I am not interested in buying a newer versioin of adobe cs photoshop or cloud or none of this. I'm pretty happy with it, I just want to come on my laptop. I also run on my desktop computer. Also, I couldn't access my original account due to be told that I had to change my password. An e-mail was sent to the e-mail address associated with this account, but I have more access to this email. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ADOBE AND THEIR SUPPORT MOSHE. We spend hundreds and it's the support that we receive?

    I oringinalyspent about $4-500 on this program and I would like someone to tell me how to get this back up and works without licensing issues and spend thousands more please. Agent original CS, I spoke with after waiting on hold for more than 1/2 hour was immediately rude to me and told me that I was tyring to understand something, when in reality he was not listening to a word I said to my questions. I am more disappointed, I'm DISGUSTED. I really wish I had not uninstalled it because I fear now, as I suspected, that I will never be able to get it back and I will be FORCED to spend more money. This is ridiculous. I wish I never sent my laptop for repair. I took them several days to understand this bulb and some cables have been damaged, and there is no real reason to wipe my computer everything. I wouldn't have to deal with all of this if I didn't have and that the original problem is still there, when I opened the laptop, screen out draft and it takes a minute or two to start the operation, but it is another matter.

    I tried to access the chat 24 hours again, but that doesn't work more or the other.

    Can someone help me please? Thank you!
