Change Local account to the owner/administrator

I tried to download windows 8.1 but he would not allow me as if PC World configured my computer that they establish myself as a local user instead of owner/administrator. How can I change this?

I think that what they mean is, you need to move your account to a Microsoft Account:

You can choose between using your Microsoft Account or a normal user account by going to all PC settings, to the users section. :
(1) immediately move your mouse to the lower right of the screen until the left menu appears, and then clicking settings (gear icon).
(2) from there, click on the link "Change PC settings" at the bottom right.
(3) now, you should be on the menu of the full-screen PC. On the left, go to the section "users."
(4) on the right side, it will show you your current account with a button that says "change your Microsoft account.

Once you have configured your Microsoft account (it takes a Windows Live ID (Hotmail or MSN) account.

  • Help, please! Impossible to pass the local account on the Microsoft account.

    I got a Samsung ATIV smart PC 500 t as a gift today and I'm going to be very difficult to implement. I tried on and off for about 14 hours now without success.  Here is what happened:

    I've updated the PC software told me to. (there was a brochure stating that I needed to update before using my keyboard dock)

    I put the PC by using a local account, because for some reason, he said it was impossible to add my Microsoft account I created today specifically for this PC.

    I tried several times to switch to the Microsoft account and I get the error message

    "We're sorry, but something went wrong. your account has not been changed to this account from Microsoft.

    "Code: 0x800b0101.

    What does that mean? Why this is happening and what needs to be done to solve this problem?

    I also tried using the tiles, hoping maybe going this route would allow me access to my Microsoft account so that I can at least use the apps and what not.  When you try to open the store, I have this message: 'we are could not connect to the Bank. This could have happened due to a server problem or network connection has expired. Please wait a few minutes and try again. "I also tried via the contacts, messages and weather applications. Whenever I get similar error messages.

    Of course, I am not very computer savvy, my internet connection is working properly, I am able to access the various web pages (even if I get a warning message of security for each of them, which is very annoying).

    Anyway, I can't understand this. Does anyone have a tip or useful information? Can I use my PC.

    Thank you!!

  • Change of name of the owner in EOS 5 d camera

    I need to change the name of the owner in my trusty EOS 5 d.  If I understand correctly, this is possible with the Canon EOS Utility.  (Change the name of the owner of the camera allows me to add the name of the author, also, in the case where an image is processed without adding all the valuable metadata.)

    I am currently using EOS Utility version 2.13.10.  I see my EOS 5 d MKII camera with no problem, and I can change the owner of camera information.

    Unfortunately, I do not see my 5 d in the EOS Utility.  I use a Mac Book Pro running OS 10.6.8.

    I can, however, pull captive in Capture One, but not of Adobe Lightroom. We are all aware of the many combinations of cameras and software applications and their compatibility - I was hunting this for years.

    So... Does EOS Utility 2.13.10 version does NOT work with a Canon EOS 5 d? What I have to revert to a previous version to make it work?

  • I can map a network drive by using the appropriate credentials, but access is denied (by default local account for navigation)

    I have a laptop running XP SP3.  If I connect locally to the laptop and you try to map a network from a server drive on my network, it invites me for a username and password that I offer and the player must then be mapped.  The problem is that when I click on the new player, I get an access denied message.  It tries to connect to the share with my local account that has no access privileges.  Previously it tempt me a username and password, but apparently, I changed some security settings and it doesn't do this more.

    The same thing happens if I use the command net use.  I can map the drive by providing an appropriate user name and password, but I can't browse it in windows Explorer.  I really want to understand the context that controls if you get a prompt when you access a resource on the network.  I think that it is related to the setting of security strategy for network access: sharing and security for local accounts.  I played a bit with it, but in vain.

    I realize that I could probably add an account with the same username / password for my local account on the server and give access to my file shared.  I don't want to do that.  I have several users who share the laptop and access the local account access (I realize this is not ideal, but it is inevitable at the present time).  I don't want to have access to this network share.

    Can someone help me get my login prompt?  I searched on google for the last 2 days trying all kinds of suggested solutions, but I couldn't find one that works.

    Too bad... I was hoping that was the problem.  But at least it now asks you a name of user and password :-)

    Apart from that, you could look to make sure that NetBios over TCP (NetBT) is enabled on the client.  Deactivation of this force a direct hosting of SMB which sometimes has problems.

    "Hosting of SMB over TCP/IP direct".
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/204279 >

    Your latest comments seem to point to a followed initial connection or bad connect more or maybe you is not authenticated as expected.  A few quick tests, I did showed that if you connect using TCP/IP address instead of the computer name and specify everything, including the scope of user name online net "use", it reduces the network traffic needed to establish a connection.  As a test on a client, from a command prompt, try a syntax such as:

    NET use * \\192.168.1.10\share /user:192.168.1.10\username password

    Where "192.168.1.10" is the IP address of the server, 'share' is the name of the action that you want to connect to and "username" is the local user on the server to which you authenticate you.  If you use domain identification information, substutite for "192.168.1.10" domain name in the "/ user:" part.  If you log to a local account server from a name of user and password graphic prompt, try to including the name of the computer and the user name in the user name as in Nom_ordinateur\Nom_utilisateur area.  If it does not, unless there is really something wrong with the access permissions, I'm out of ideas.

    Good luck

  • Cannot change region DVD on the Satellite settings

    Hello

    I'm not very savvy but im having a problem with my computer settings satellite phone in computer science.
    I changed the region of the DVD 4 times and am changing for the last time again to region 2.

    However when I do this it says that I have no administration privileges, but I am the only user on the computer and, therefore, the administrator.

    Anyone know what I can do to get the player to change the region. It is said that there is a change to the left, but do not allow editing.

    Any help would be useful.
    Thank you
    Katie

    I didn t do all the experiments with the evolution of the region, but it is really strange, you were able to change it without any problem and now all of a sudden you need administration rights. It is also possible that the last time the passage of the system not fail that it will be granted by the administrator and because of that there is this security alert.

    Try a new account with the Fund Administrator rights and try to do it again.

    orders accounting AAA 15 by default start-stop Ganymede group.

    The current configuration that you will work in your favor.

    AAA authentication login default group Ganymede + local

    This command indicates the user can connect through //password local username if Ganymede server goes down.

    Conclusion: local user will not be able to authenticate in the presence of RADIUS server.
