change administrater on a pc

My sister gave me his PC and he has windows XP on it. but my question is how to change the administrator on the pc from it for me.  can someone help me with this?

Connect on any account admin-level (such as the account of your sister) and go to control panel > users.  From there, select your user account (so "Bob" or whatever you called it' and be upgraded to a level of admin.)

Later, inside on behalf of Bob, you can go back to the same section of the control panel and remove the account from your sister if you want.

  • I changed user names, but the files and folders show again old name

    I got my sisters computer and changed the name of user (jb-administrater) account, but when most of the programs have access to my files and folders that they are still called jenifer documents, how can I change this?

    Hello

    ·         Where have you changed the name of profile?

    This is normal in windows, and unfortunately, we would not be able to change.

    When you rename a user you just change the user account, not the files and folders associated with the user. Let's say you have USERA. USERA has also a C:\USERS\USERA folder that is associated with the user account. When you rename the user account to USERB, USERB has an C:\USERS\USERA folder that is associated with USERB

    Step 1: I suggest that you create a new user account and check to see if it helps:

    Step 2: Copy the data to the new user account by following the link below:

  • How to change the security permissions to access the data restored on a separate hard drive?

    I keep data such as program installations, documents, etc., on a separate hard disk systems sees reader1 (D:\). The previous operating system was Windows XP Pro and before removing this BONE, all hard drives have been saved on a separate external hard drive that works on USB. The new operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    After Installing Win 7, I restored the data from the backup disk drive. Now, none of the files on the disk of such modified data box that save, delete, etc. At first, I found that all the files have been marked read-only, but I was able to clear this attribute on the data reader. However, now I can't change anything because I am informed that access is denied. I am enrolled a s administrater with all permissions. I think that the restored data has inherited attributes permission that were defined when used or created by the previous operating system, Windows XP. How can I get permission to use these data?

  • I changed my Apple ID to my new married name, but somewhere it is still hanging on to my old details

    After getting married, I updated my Apple ID with my new name and e-mail address.  This well it worked and I can access iTunes etc but my iCloud storage is almost full and I tried to connect to improve it but it still shows my old email address and name.  I can't connect to it knowing that I replaced all the details so the old account doesn't really exist, but it will not display my new address.  I went in my Apple ID to see where he was always picking up the old name/e-mail since but there just my new details (as it should) and I don't see where it's always the old details.  How to forget my old data.  I have almost no storage iCloud and have no way to resolve this issue now.

  • Change of credit card deductions

    I am from Pakistan. I just change my credit card information and for whom I had 1 USD charged twice within 2 minutes.
    When I haven't bought anything, why me is she charged in the first place and who has also twice?

    Hello

    When a payment card is added or updated in iTunes Store, iBooks Store, App Store or Mac App Store, we can make a request for authorization to your card issuer.

    It's not a real charge, just a check to ensure that your credit card is active and can be used when you pay for your transactions.

    When a temporary authorization hold is placed on your credit or debit card, it will be only for a small nominal amount. For example, in the United States, you might see a charge of $1.00 USD.

    These charges will be removed automatically from your card account and shall not be paid.

  • Change order number/special character artists

    I would like to know if there is a way to change the order of all the artists that begin with a number or a special character order. Currently, they are all sitting at the bottom of the list of the artist on the ipod (and iTunes) but I would like to have all displays at the top of this list.

    This is the sort order...  I think you would need to change the names of the artists so that they start with something that gets sorted at the top of the list in alphanumeric order.  For example, replace 10,000 Maniacs a_10, 000 Maniacs.
