• Impossible to change the administrator user account picture?

  Just create new pc with Windows 7 Professional. But can not change user account for my own image using the Browse tab?

  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.

• 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.

  Please I need help.

• Access to my files on a nonadministrator account administration user account.

  Under windows Vista. I have an administrator user account on my machine, but it does not appear in my list of 'change user '. I can only connect to my computer via a nonadministrator account. I'm trying to access the administrator account, but it is apparently requires a smart card is inserted. If only I could get the ADMIN user account to appear in my user account to log on, I could enter my password.

  Hello

  You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk
  Mode has no default password (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

  Some programs such as the updated Google (if you added the toolbar Google, Chrome or Google Earth)
  has been known to cause this problem.

• 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 UAC

  Uncheck "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.

• 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.html

  When 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.

• Prevent deletion of administrator user accounts

  Hello

  My name is Muhammad Hasan Ahmed and I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. I need assistance to manage the user accounts on my desktop computer. I submitted my request to a representative of Microsoft Live Chat, but she did not have enough technical information on the subject to be able to help me in this matter.

  Here's the question:

  I have 2 Administrator accounts on my computer. First story is mine, and the second account (called HOME) is for users. I use an account is protected by password. HOME account doesn't have a password. I want to keep the account of the HOUSE to delete user accounts, either this is a limited account or an administrator account. HOSPITALITY account requires administrator rights so it can't be limited account. Is there another way to do this without changing the type of limited user account? What could be the possible measures to perform this task?

• Store does not recognize my administrator user account when you try to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows

  I bought an Inspiron 17 7737 directly from dell.com on 05/12/2013.  It was delivered 12/182013.  The operating system was Windows 8.  I had assumed that he would have the last version of Windows when it has happened since 8.1 was released in October. I opened the app Store and the Windows 8.1 upgrade was not available for me.  I realized it was one problem for others and that he has not pursued further at that time.  I was out of town for 2 weeks in January and has not used the laptop during this 2 week period.  When I got home, I opened the store and found placed prominently on the invitation to the free update to 8.1. I signed up using the administrator account and when I hit the download button for 8.1. I received the message "You must use an account with administrator privileges to install Windows 8.1, try connecting with the user of an administrator on this PC account and try the update again".  I checked my account has administrator privileges and tried again and got the same message. I created another user account and gives privileges to administrator and try the download again signed on this account and received the same message.  I called technical support and for more than 5 hours on 2 different days, the technician tried to solve the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the Windows updates. When that has not resolved the problem, it "refreshed" my PC which I understood to be given to the State at the time of delivery. He had to do all the Windows (about 65) updates and tried to re-download 8.1.  This does not change the error message when you try to download at 8.1.  At that time, I was told that they were raising a technical team that search every newspaper in my machine and find a solution.  They said they'd call me at the time where there is a solution. Although my administrator account has not been recognized during an attempt to make the download 8.1, it acknowledged the role of the administrator when the technician needed administrative approval to all uninstall and reinstall activities in trying to solve the problem.

  Everyone knows about this problem?  It is resolved, and if so, how is it resolved?

  You are not alone. Many have had the same problem with no resolution. I think there's something funny to do with user accounts. Making a second account with admin privleges does not work. I would try to reinstall the operating system of hidden image and try again. A refresh like tried Dell will not do because it retains much of the data before the update; you need a clean start. Do nothing witht the account Admin other than to let Windows put up and set your password. All updates must be installed before the upgrade is displayed in the store. I have improved five facilities to win 8 and have had zero problems.

  (b) run this command

  Reg.exe ADD HKLM/v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1/f
