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

  • Installed NEWSid, restarted, now I am obliged in the guest account and can't make admin account or change the guest account.

    I had to run NEWSid due to software, I bought and installed (Stardock Objectdock) and required me to restart. Upon reboot, I had the guest account and couldn't change little matter what I tried. Here are things I tried.

    (1) goes UAC and by creating an account admin, but when I put a name in the name field, it tells me I have the invalid text when I do.

    2) restart in safe mode to create the Admin account or change the parameters of control of the accounts in this way and the same thing happens as a #1.

    Reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit 3) compared to the original, which does nothing to help.

    After research, I learned that using NEWSid with Vista causes this problem a lot, but the only solution I found is to use a recovery system disk (the only disc that came with my purchase of the computer has been the Cyberpower restore disc that contains only Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit.

    I am at a loss what to do, what I'm in the guest account and can't get out. System Restore did nothing as well until I reinstalled Vista. When I tried to run the system restore, it told me the Volume Shadow service was not working, but as part of the services, it has been set to automatic.

    Hi Rizzano,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    If you are unable to connect to the administrator account, you will be unable to make changes on the computer by using the guest account.

    I think you did an in place upgrade which means it replaces the file system and makes no changes to the user account.

    You try to activate the construction in the administrator account and check if it works.

    If you are able to connect on windows first try to create a new administrator account.

    To activate the built-in Administrator account, follow these steps:


    1. click Startand type cmd in the Search boxof start.
    2. in the list of search results, right-click Guest, and then click run as administrator.
    3. When you are prompted by user account control, click continue.
    4. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
    5. type net user administrator , , and then press ENTER.
    Note: Please replace the tag with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account.
    6. type exitand press ENTER.
    7 log off the current user account.

    HOW to: Enable the build-in the administrator account in Windows Vista

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555910

     

    If the steps above does not resolve the question suggest that you try to restore the system from the mode or using the disk safe.

    To use the Windows recovery environment, you must have the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc. To start the Windows recovery environment, follow these steps:

    1.

    Insert the installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2.

    Press a key when you are prompted.

    3.

    Select a language, time and currency and keyboard or input method, and then click on Next.

    4.

    Click on your computer repair.

    5.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click on Next.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point created before the problem occurred.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Let me know if it worked.

    All the best!

  • 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!

    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.

    I created a new user to keep my stuff. I'm changing to an administrator account (and Yes, I already have an administrator account) to a guest account, so I can protect it with a password and give it a name. The only problem is that when I try to change it, it does nothing. Same thing for the name. When I try to change it when you are connected to the original administrator account to try to change the comments, I even not give me the option to change when "manage another account."

  • Cannot change the host associations groups

    Hello:

    I'll put up a cluster with two nodes with two Dell servers and a MD3200 with two controllers. Each server has two SAS HBA, each one associated with each of the SAN controllers for redundancy.

    I stopped with a problem stupid aparently that not let me complete the Setup, and I need urgently finish it.

    The problem is that the 1 server is automatically asigned to the default group, and I tried to do a second group specifically for the cluster. I manually assign Server 2 to this group, but not way to assing server 1 also, so I'm trying to desassign server host cluster group 2, to assign it to the default group, but I can't find how. Now I have 1 server bound to the default host group and Server 2 in the clsuter group. All the options to manage, change or assign specific hosts or groups are disabled, and I can't configure the cluster.

    I think the problem is that access virtual disk (automatically generated by the software) is attributed to groups of two hosts, so I can't delete the second cluster group, if both servers are assigned, and the software doesn't let me do anything.

    Management software version is 10.84.G6.44 (latest version) and host is Windows Server 2012.

    Need urgent help. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You should have these buttons available.  One thing to watch with CCA, is not being able to see the scroll bar on the right side.  Try to move the window in GRP, there is most likely a scroll bar that you don't see, and the necessary keys are falling over and you are simply unable to see without scrolling down.

  • Logged in as admin. Cannot change the domain users group to the domain administrator

    My domain administrator is defined as a domain user and I want to change it to domain administrator. The groups gathered outside the account > users > Admin > groups section.

    Hello Tripline,

    Please provide number and firmware version of your ReadyNAS model.

    What's your ReadyNAS built-in AD? The ReadyNAS will simply copy the accounts of the ADS in your ad. Existing domain user, 'Administrator' should be adjusted to have administrator rights. I guess you should change everything first, and then integrate the NAS again to the AD.

  • slow account login and changed to the guest account administrator

    Original title: two problems with Windows 8: very slow connection and the guest account became a Director

    For about two weeks, computer Toshiba Satellite Windows 8 of my daughter was a very slow process. It takes sometimes 15 or 20 minutes for the prompt "Please wait" to take him to his login screen. We tried pretty much every difficulty to do this, including the deactivation of add-ins and the removal of disk utility that it does not use. We have not yet solved the problem.

    Upward, we can't even restore its system because, somehow, a guest account was appointed administrator on his laptop and we cannot put up-to-date because there has never been a password for the guest account. We tried a variety of things - create a new account and try to do this or our two accounts of the administrator in addition to comments. Nothing has worked.

    I'd be willing to take his laptop down to restore the system, but I can't because the guest is in charge. How can we change the administrator at one of our two accounts so that we can do a system restore?

    Thanks for your help, Ajay. Finally, I just did a system restore which took down for installation of Windows 8 and got the administrator once everything is back up to about eight hours later. Then I deleted all the bloatware that came with the laptop Toshiba, especially all the Junk Norton programs. I installed the 97 pending Windows updates with a clean boot and - abracadabra - problem solved!

    It is my daughter portable computer, but, like any other college kid, she ended up downloading a lot of junk. Since I am the administrator, I'll now have parental control on his laptop computer.

    Once again, thank you very much for your help on these issues.
