• Remove the ability of the child to change Microsoft Account password

  I created my 13 years with a Microsoft account to connect to Windows 8.1.  It's a child account.  I changed its hours Configuration / password and parental control limits.  It's great.  I get home from work and I can't connect it.  He said, ' I could not open a session and assumed my password has expired, so I changed it. "  It's not big.  He explained how he did and its exactly what I'd do if I forgot my password.  Although, as a child account, it should not be able to change his own password!  What can I do to prevent it from changing his own account password?

• You cannot change the account Type

  Hello:

  When displaying 'Select your new account type' I see the photo that I have assigned and to the right of the image, I see my log in name and under my name, I see "administrator."

  Standard user is the default bullet selected with the administrator being available option.  However, when I place the ball in the ball of the administrator below "change account Type" becomes gray.

  I won't be a standard user with standard user rights.  It comes to my computer at home and no one else is using the computer or lives with me.  So, my question is the following:

  What I do to activate the Administrator option?  And when I put the ball in the Administrator option I will then be able to "Change account Type".

  This computer and my laptop are both running the same operating system: Windows 7 Professional

  Your support and your help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Eric

  Hi again:

  I am not connected as a Standard user.  I am logged in as administrator.

  That's what I told you at the beginning: you ARE connected under an administrator account, so you can not change your account type "Administrator".

  If you are unable to perform certain tasks, then this is because of the restrictions of UAC (User Account Control). Click Start, click Help, and then search for help on UAC. You can disable it if you want, at your own risk.

  P.S. Please do not change your past jobs as this would result in a very confusing thread.

• Unable to connect to the Windows store and cannot change the account back to Microsoft Account

  Original title: question of Windows 8

  Hello world

  I almost broke my laptop trying to solve the problem of connection app win8. I have portable branch one month before, it was all alrigh except one extremely annoying thing. I could not use win 8 apps, I couldn't go to 8.1, could not use weather and etc. After that I tried almost everything I decided to cool off. Wow. Initially working store, however it asked me to upgrade upgrade windows essential stuff and so I did. And now again the same problem - unable to connect to store, can't change user of windows one...  It's just loading forever, absolutely all applications...

  (1) Changed to the local user - can't change it back.

  wsreset 2) used several times

  (3) firewall off and both Windows defender

  Future prospects for the answer.

  Hi there.)

  Problem is solved. BTW, it seems that these questions are simply copied and pasted. What a shame.

  (1) it is quite indifferent to me.

  (2) wireless, which is irrelevant as well

  (3) No, as I wrote in the first post - they are all off

  (4) failed to connect

  (5) I wrote in the first post that, after updates, was not able to do something with win8 apps

  Right, the thing was in one of the updates. I second refresh and created restore point. Updates that had to get 8.1 (which are the firewall or something like that), after all, created second restore point and downloaded the rest 80 + and here again the same story - cannot connect. This is a problem, your updates - lol. So I restored and the second point and kept without updates, finally, this updates past the list and some of them will update automatically, however I was not lost access to the victory store and now I have 8.1

  It's so funny to see how thousands of users still cannot access win store due to the error of the software engineer.

  Best wishes

  If all goes well, it will help those who are looking for a solution.

• Cannot change Microsoft pinyin ABC input style

  Original title: langgue

  The setting of property for Chinese (Simplified) microsoft pinyin ABC input style is not available

  Hello

  I suggest you to follow the steps of the reference and check if it helps.

  Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin ABC input Style uses the same hex code 00000804 and the Chinese (Simplified) - US keyboard.

  The only differences are in the name of display layout and the text of the provision. You can replace the following registry location:

  a. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box and then press ENTER.
  b. Locate and click the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000804
  c. for Chinese (Simplified) - US keyboard, the layout display name sets the value: @%SystemRoot%\system32\input.dll,-5072
  d. for Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin ABC entry type, the layout display name sets the value: @%SystemRoot%\system32\input.dll,-5076
  e. default, Chinese (Simplified) - US keyboard is set to the display name page layout and the text of the provision. In order to set up the Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin ABC Style of entry as the default entry keyboard, you can write a script to modify the registry file above.

  
  Note: 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.

  on windows 7 starter edition how can I open an admin account, I have a standart account and I couldn't open any software on computer please help me.even change user account cannot be opened.

  Hi kuentin,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

  When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

  There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

  (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

  (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

  (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

  (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

  I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

• Cannot change the administrator account!

  Hello. I need to change my administrator account so I can make changes to my accounts on the internet, but my internet provider told me I'm just a standard user in Windows 8 and I need to change it to the administrator. When I try to change my profile from standard user to administrator, Windows 8 doesn't let me, even if I am logged in under my account from Microsoft. How can I change this? It is quite frustrating!

  Hello

  You cannot use a Standard (Local) account to change the administrator account. You can only use an administrator for this account.

  Open the control panel (place the cursor on the bottom/left corner of the screen... and right click, select Control Panel from the menu

  In Control Panel, select user accounts.

  Select Manage another account.

  This will show all the user accounts on the computer. If there is an administrator account, it will show this designation.

  To log off and log on with an administrator account.

  Back to the account user/screen control.

  Select Manage another account , then select the Standard account you want to change.

  Select the option Change the account Type .

  Select the administrator option to change the account and click Change the account Type .

  If there is no other administrator account, let know us and we can try another method of recovery.

  Tell us what you find.

• Cannot connect to the game using Microsoft account, password is incorrect, or account does not exist.

  I just installed Dirt 3 on my new computer, when you are prompted to log in to my Live account. I put in my info, then the code of the key to the game. She then returned and say my account does not exist or my password is incorrect. After trying twice more I came here.  It is the same account and password that I use here.

  I'll start from the beginning.

  Some time ago a friend bought a game for me (Dark Souls prepare to Die Edition) by Toys R us as a gift. I needed to connect with GFWL to save progress. I did, using my XBOX Live account. I played 40 hrs of this game, my PC is dead. It was during the summer 2014.

  Fast forward to now, I reactivated my Windows Live account and tried to install the game in my new computer. After that I set my account sign in problems (had to change my password three times until he acknowledged) the error message I now get it that the product key is registered to a different Windows Live account.

  There is no other windows Live ID someone else has access to my account STEAM or WINDOWS ACCT. To my knowledge none have been hacked. I was put through three individuals when I called them. Account, a kind of guys then sale of troubleshooting. After that wanted to sale onto me accounts that I hung up. No one knew that STEAM has been and has not yet recognize that GFWL is actually managed by Xbox apparently (have concluded that myself). I know GFWL is now active, BUT I'm always supposed to be able to access my game.

  HOW CAN I CHANGE THE AGE ON MY MICROSOFT ACCOUNT!

  Connect to https://account.microsoft.com/ (with the account that you are wanting to manage) and click on 'Your Info' in the menu 'albums', and then choose "Edit your personal information" in the list on the next page and he'll probably ask you logon (for security), then at Chang'an, your date of birth and save it.

  I created my R11 with my microsoft account and now I want to start over. I didn't know that I didn't do. Is it possible to change the log in completely on my laptop?

  You have a local administrator account? If so create a new local user with appropriate privileges account and change the default connection to that.
