Cannot change my administrative user account
I was not able to change my standard administrative user account. It gives me an error message. I bought and downloaded McAfee Security online and am now having trouble with my windows firewall (which I believe is supposed to be in the off position). I'm at the point of reinstalling my software because of all the problems I encounter.
You must have Admin rights so is your only value user account? Change it to Admin with the invisible
Account. Another new Admin to test and fix and possibly a 3rd to migrate to.
McAfee will turn off Defender - to turn this back on
Start - type in the search--> service box found at the top of the list of Services - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN
Windows Defender service - change to START - AUTOMATIC
Disable change at stop SIGN - MANUAL or DISABLED
The above, stop the service and you must also turn on or off in the program according to the needs.

Impossible to change the administrator user account picture?

I have on my old pc Windows 7?
Tried changing the setting 'Apply the default user logon picture' in gpedit does not?
Kind regards
Hi Davy,.
You are the administrator of the account?
As you have tried the default user logon image, create a new user account can help you determine if the problem is related to the corruption of user account.
Otherwise, sign in with the account that has administrative rights and try to change the image.
Create a new user account and check if the problem persists, if the problem does not persist in the new user account, then you can fix the damaged user account.

It's a long story, but it is a case of me not having only not the slightest idea of what I was doing and the things themselves are mean. I tried to access the built-in function
Administrator on my laptop, so I could create a password for it and to transform my only other account user in a standard account. The only way I knew a bit about this world work (at the time) was going to safe mode (already did this on another laptop of mine and it worked,) but the built-in administrator is not. Unfortunately, when I do my first mistake a lot of errors, I decided that I could force the built-in Administrator"is displayed by the guest in an administrator account so I could turn off my main user account. I realized that I couldn't change guest in standard account so I turned it off as an administrator. When I'm home in safe mode I finally see the built-in administrator so I put my password for it, but I noticed the UAC did not have a password field to type and 'yes' is gray. Thinking that it was because I left the account called Administrator, until I turned it off I go to reactivate it if I could go back to the standard, but the guest account would not change back or extinguish again causing the built-in Administrator "to disappear from the safe mode and therefore, preventing me from the question of fixing.
I've tried so far of troubleshooting:
(Start, typed the CDM, run as administrator, typed user administrator / Active: Yes) Having failed, I got msg "System 5 error has occurred. Access denied. "
(Start, typed the CDM, run as administrator, typed net users) see three accounts on my computer administrator, guest, and my main account.
(Start, typed the CDM, run as administrator, typed 'Jack' xxyyzz net user / add) Having failed, I got msg "System 5 error has occurred. Access denied. "
I tried to create a new account, but it still says "the specified account name is not valid, because account names cannot contain the following characters / \ []" :;|<>+=,? ". ' * ' , but I don't use any of these at all!
Change the Standard user account to administrator did not
I tried to disable the guest account, but that didn't work either
If anyone has ideas or definitive answers to how to help me solve this problem would be very useful, thx!
The guest on my computer account has administrative authority.
If your guest account has administrator privileges (why?) then you can do this:
- Log in under the guest account.
- Click the start planet.
- Type cmd.exe in the search box.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
- Click on "Run as Administrator".
- Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
NET user administrator / Active: Yes
NET user administrator 123456
(to set the password to 123456) - Log in as administrator.
- Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
- Demote, then disable the guest account. There is a security risk.

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.

Problem with the administrator user account
When I connect to my administrator user account a Windows Sidebar message immediately rises:
"Settings.ini is being used by another process. Close the other program, and then click Retry, or click Cancel to exit sidebar. »
The problem is that there is no other program to close so I click on no to cancel. There is also a message from Catalyst Control Centre (program of ATI technology video card) that comes immediately after the message of the sidebar:
"The host application has stopped working a problem caused the program blocking works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »
I click Close Program, but no notice is. Try using Windows, I get the message "help topic is not found." I tried the system information (msinfo32.exe) and get the message "cannot collect information cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software.» Management of Windows files may be displaced or missing. » !!!
All the above problem ONLY happens in the administrator user account. Both regular user accounts work fine. Windows help works very well, information system works very well!
I'd appreciate any help to solve this problem of crazy.

If you "move" the files/folders to PUBLIC folders, you can then access them when you are in the new admin account and then you can place them in your personal folders.
If you do not Move To and copy to options in your context menu, here is the tutorial to "help":
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/89196-context-menu-add-copy-folder-move-folder.htmlWhen you have completed the tutorial, try this...
Right click on any folder/file > click Move To > scroll to the destination where will be moved to the folder/file > click on move.
That's all. The file/folder is moved.Public folders are accessible to all user accounts on the computer.

program user accounts: administrator user account
I created a user not knowing account is the user account administrative and when a phone rang I confirmed the password without remembering what I wrote, it "administrator user account" to change / remove it completely. Because I can't even open the computer programs, it blocks everything. (b) I've recreated a 'Standard user' account, but it doesn't have the same functions. PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT
You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.
All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.
If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:
NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter][Note: do not enter the brackets!]
Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.
If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.
Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:
Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]
Exit the command prompt.
General recommendations for creating users in Vista:
You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.
In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.
The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.
If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:
Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UACUncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Need permissions in Win 7 to take possession of the corrupt administrator (user) account
I have a corrupt administrator user account that is only available in safe mode, at the command prompt. I created another user account that gives me the Windows interface and I'm now trying to "own the administrator account to copy my files to my new user account."
I am not able to access or change anything from anywhere or management; (Registry, other user accounts, other folders or files, properties or fields etc.) due to the restrictions on my PC. I tried to use the takeown.exe tool, but I'm not sure what should be entered in the command line. I read on the parameters to TO, but do not seem to get any results.
Your advice is appreciated... Thank you!
Since you were using the command prompt window when you created the new user, I just assumed you have made using the command:
NET user newuser * / add
where 'newuser' is the name of the new user?
Did you also give this privilege to administrator newuser entering control:
net localgroup administrators newuser / add
While logged as administrator?
It would be necessary to perform the actions that you are trying to do.
