• 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!

• 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.

  Hello

  Here is a very good explanation by Malkeleah and others in the linked Thread that explains that it is virtually impossible to stop a person access to your computer, if they really want.

  "(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

  1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

  2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

  3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

  4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

  5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

  Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.

• Second laptop connect only with the guest account

  I have an E1500 which replaced a broken WRT54GS. I have a desktop office computer using the ethernet cable to the Internet via a DSL Modem and I have two other laptops, one is a Macbook Pro running Lion and the other is a Toshiba running WinXP SP3 using two Wi - Fi connection. Before installing the E1500 all three computers were able to connect to the internet via my secure connection, but now with the E1500, I can get the Mac to connect using my secure WPA2 Personal connection and the Toshiba will connect through the guest account. I lived the configuration wireless for the Toshiba providing several times I put in good properties wireless and network key, but it does not connect. The process of connecting Macbook was a blink of an eye without any problem. I also get Windows XP wireless connection properties back to default (WEP), because it will not hold personal WPA2 settings, but even if it contains personal WPA2 security settings it does not connect. I was also able to connect the Toshiba with the ethernet cable, without going through the wireless network.

  Why can I connect via the guest account and not via my connection on the Toshiba? Help someone?

  Thanks for the detailed explanation.

  I had actually just this solved tonight with about 2 hours of chat with Linksys. It turns out the Windows SP3 XP Toshiba doesn't have a true WPA2 - Personal encryption, only the WPA - PSK (pre-shared Key), while the Macbook Pro has WPA2 Personal. The whole system runs on a hexadecimal code 63. I got the router located on only WPA2 Personal. When I changed (manual) WPA/WPA2/joint, then I had two computers on the network. But then came another problem, when I connected with the Macbook, Toshiba has lost its connection with an error message - "IP address conflict with another system on the network. That proved to be the setting of the channel on the network. The channel was not sync from the old Linksys router configuration. Changed to channel 11 on the router to synchronize with the Macbook Pro and that has been resolved. There is no option for channels on the Toshiba that I can find.

  Hi HiteshAstan,

  one) don't you recall making any changes to the computer before this happened?

  (b) what exactly happens when you sign in to your account?  You get a specific error message?

  Step 1: Let us check if the problem persists in safe mode

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

   

  If the problem persists, you can deduct that the user account is corrupted
