Cannot change my admin account

• 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)

• 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.

• 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

• 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 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.

  After having updated the latest Firmware [Dell your 2161DS digital switch, Firmware, Multi OS, Multi language, Multi system, v.3.1.0.0, 1.3 (A03-00)] and restore the default settings. We do this directly through the Remote Console software.  Seeing the log in window, the user name is "Admin" and there is no password.  We can access in the switch, but "Admin" a/c is missing from the "User" settings category. So we can't change the Admin password.
   
  Could you help us to change any password Admin password?

• Cannot change the guest account group

  Long story short.  The guest account is somehow in the Administrators group.

  I use Windows Vista Home.

  When I am logged into the guest account and I look under the name he said administrator.  I'm going to change the type of account, it shows that it is in the standard group.  It won't let me even change for the management group.  It is in the Administrators group or what?  READ MORE that it gets better.

  When I'm on the command line and I type net user comments he says that membership in the local Administrators group.  Now, here's what I don't understand.  I do net localgroup guests comments / add and it will add to the guests group, and it is then in the customers and group administrators.  I can then do net localgroup guests comments/delete and it deletes it.  Now I CANNOT net localgroup administrators/delete comments because he says that it is not within the group, BUT if I net localgroup administrators comments / add that also says that he cannot do it because it's already in the Group?  That continues.  A I royally mess up something or it's a certain type of problem?  Please help me.  Thank you

  See the guide to recovering lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem

  Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.

• How can I change the Admin account if I don't have the password or the reset disk?

  The original disk to reinstall vista are missing.  Is there something I can do?  Maybe reset CMOS (?) or Windows it a substitute?

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords

  read the policy at the link below

  you need to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• change of admin

  Hello

  How to change my admin account

  Change it to what? What version of Windows.

  If you mean you want to have a new admin account, then log in as administrator, enter 'User' in the search bar, select "User accounts" the search results, select "Manage user accounts" and click Add. Make the new user administrator. Of course, there are several ways to add accounts, but it is one way.

  If this isn't what you mean, explain in detail. The more details you can give, it is likely that you will get adequate assistance.

  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.
