Cannot change the guest account to admin account type

• 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!

  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.

• Change the guest account to administer

  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." Please help me.

• Cannot change the default program to open certain types of files more

  I opened the month .package file type by using a specific .exe designed to cope.  I got this morning and by clicking on a .package file brought to the top of the screen "choose default program".  I chose the appropriate program, but it does not appear in the screen of the recommended program, and I can't find any way to make it use the default .exe.   I tried to change it in the area of selection of the programs in the the control panel by default and hot at the same result.  I can still open the files by starting the program manually and choosing the option 'Open', but it is a tedious and repetitive task!  This program is used to group graphic files in a specific format, and it is not uncommon to open and close files .package 5 6 times in a period of 10 minutes.  I really need to fix this ASAP.  My productivity has come to a near standstill.

  I'm on Win7 64-bit, the program in question is a stand-alone that has always been in its own folder in the downloads library.  I tried to move to the folder program files (x 86), but that did not help.  Windows recognizes the program when I make the request to select the default program.  When I try to use it however, it is not an option.

  I was going to link to the Microsoft Developer Network instructions, but it's a pretty large amount of information for it, so, let me suggest a small program that should be able to do it for you.

Thank you * address email is removed from the privacy * cell + 923149001117

  Kind regards

  Andou...

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

• Is impossible to turn on the guest account. Cannot create new user account. "The service user profile Service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. »

  There are no entries in the registry for a guest or a new standard user account.  The registry entries for the three accounts normal-quickly (2 x admin, 1 x level) seem to be appropriate.  Watch register computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  Plan h - while another user said that it was caused by a file Windows Live problem

  This is the thread I can not create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service doesn't have the logon

  You find it difficult to follow the thread as it's long and reported problem by different people to confuse it and there is also a bit of bickering [long filaments often end up being quite incomprehensible].

  ..., See references to the event viewer in the middle of page 4 and Windows Live we [at the bottom of page 2 more on page 3].

  I see not the logic of the any of those things, but if one of them do things long enough that you are trying to create new accounts that works, you will know how in the future until a proper solution is found.

  This is the useful part where this user has tested the solutions proposed in this thread linked above: -.

  This has proved to contain leads to a difficulty.  Have to admit, when I read everything the first time, several days, I did indeed find it confusing and even the parts that I "heard" (sorta) does not appear to be related to my symptoms.

  It turns out that the answer of JDMICHAL May 17, 2011 contained this:

  (1) C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows open live
  (2) this directory has two subdirectories with a single file of each. Go into each directory and apply the following:
  (a) make a right click on the file, open the properties.
  (b) click the Security tab.
  (c) it will issue a message: "to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties. Would continue you? ». Click on the button continue.
  (d) click on the Add button...
  (e) ' everyone' type in the box at the bottom of the dialog box. Click on "check names"; It should be emphasized the "everyone". Click OK.
  (f) ensure that the new "Everyone" entry "read" and "read & run" check under the column "allow".

  After doing this for two files, attempt to connect to the account. He must undergo.

  The procedure (bascially) worked... Although the different answers on my system differed slightly along the way (perhaps due to the slightly different versions of Win 7?, because I was already logged in as an administrator?).

  In any case, "Everyone" with the read and read/execute permissions adding to these two files seems to have done the trick:

  C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\Bici1_00.sqm

  and

  C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\SqmApi\SqmData720896_00.sqm

• 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.
