• 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.

• Corrupt user account

  How to create a new account if you can not access your Admin account

  Restart the computer. On the ringtone, press and hold down the keys command + S to start in single user Mode. You start on a black screen with white text scrolling, release the keys and wait that it ends.

  Enter the following lines at the command prompt, and then press RETURN after each:

  Mount - uw /.

  RM /var/db/.applesetupdone

  reset

  Once you restart the computer, you will be taken to the installation wizard. When you get to the point where you are prompted to set up your new user account, create a new admin account. Don't forget to name this thing another user account as the account user to administrator which already exists on the system. When you have finished the installation wizard, it will automatically save you in the new account.

  You can transfer your files from the old account to the new. See: transfer of files from one user to another account. Once you have moved all your files in your new account, you can remove the old account using the preferences accounts or users and groups.

• Is it not possible for me to duplicate my administrator account?

  My little brother uses my account, so I would really like that, if I could reproduce them so he could have his own. Is it possible if the account is the administrator?

  Hi EColl,

  It is a complicated question, but in general, it can be done.

  First of all, it is possible to create a new user account and move information from one account to the other.  You will use essentially the same procedure if the account has been corrupted (except you copy instead of move and would not remove the original account). Here is the procedure in Vista: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If you have a different operating system, or perform a search on Bing for 'fix a user profile corrupted in ' or post back and I'll try to find it for you.

  If you want him to have administrator rights, you are finished.  If this is not the case, use your username to change his account to a standard account and then you are done (but if he is accustomed to using an administrator account, he can find a standard account quite a bit more restrictive - but it's up to you).

  But consider that, while both accounts have the same starting point for documents, images, programs, audio, desktop, settings, e-mail programs and configurations and accounts and other, as soon as you start to use them separately, they will become different.  He will not have access to your user accounts and any additions, changes or deletions you make will not intervene in his account (because is not the same account).  Well, if you two administrators, technically, you can access the data in each and other accounts and copy it to your own - but who then begins to defeat the purpose of having separate accounts.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• While creating a new account, my own disappeared "computer administrator account.

  When I created a new user account for my girls, my own family's missing "computer administrator account. Everything that I have now is my "acct kids" who says it is my "admin acct comp' now and all my icons, Favorites, all is gone and can't find it. I didn't delete it, I don't think. When I go to remove user accounts, it isn't here either. I made a password for my account before it disappeared however. Can I retrieve it somehow like that? I'm so disappointed.

  It is a feature, not a bug.

  Windows XP has a built-in account named "Administrator" (without the quotes).  The design idea was that you should only use this account for "emergencies" and not to use it on a daily basis.  This is because that the accounts of users, sometimes, be damaged, it is useful to have a verified account with full administrative access that you can use to fix things.

  To "enforce" this idea (or at least to encourage users to follow), as soon as you create a new account with "Computer administrator" privileges, Windows XP hidden administrator on the Welcome screen.

  The administrator account is still there.

  If you have Windows XP Pro, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice during to the home screen when you are logged on all accounts.  You will get the "classic" logon window  Enter Administrator as the user and the password defined.

  If you have XP Home Edition, you must start the computer Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key just after the restart.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long to start typing and have to start over.  You can use this method without failure for XP Pro as well.  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account appears on the Welcome screen.

  You have two options at this point: (1) make a new "computer administrator" account for your everyday use and copy to administrator stuff (and then let administrator not used except for emergency situations) or (2) create a "computer administrator" account that you will use that with the exception of emergency situations and make administrator appear on the Welcome screen.  I suggest you to option (1).

  (1): see "workgroup" mode here--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 account 'Administrator' you used is the "corrupt" account the "new user profile' is the new account that you create which has"computer administrator"privileges and you will need to log on to an account with "computer administrator" privileges to do all this - which can be the 'kids' acct (which, depending on your position, does not have these privileges).

  (2): make the administrator account visible on the homepage: http://www.theeldergeek.com/missing_administrator_account.htm
  C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT allows you to make a backup of the registry before start you.

  Note: once you have things under control and have a spare part "computer administrator" account, regardless of how you choose to do, I suggest you do your children has a "Limited user" account to limit the amount of malice, they are able to do (of course, if they are more than 8 years they will be able to find a way to work around this problem).

• Question about the administrator account by default on XP Pro

  When I install a new version of XP pro that it is built in the created administrator account. If I want to create a new limited user account, my only option is first create another administrator account. Since it is already built in Admin account why XP requires that I have create a new admin account before you create a limited user account?

  WIndows Xp requires that you have at least one administrator account. Once you create an account with administrator privileges by default admin account that becomes hidden. Once the default admin account will be hidden it is only accessible via safe mode. It is a safety device that repeatedly saw situations where the default Administrator account has been used to record a computer because the accounts created become corrupt.

  If you have an administrator password in windows, then the recovery console would need in order to log in the disk system, i.e. the c prompt.

   

  If you tried to do a repair with the cd, then it may not have worked if your cd is the sp2 version of windows on your computer has been updated to sp3 version.  for the sp2 of xp cd works, you will need to uninstall the update to sp3 via Add/Remove programs.

• Help! Account administrator - account limited - system indicates 'my computer name' listed as the administrator built-in locked out

  I accidentally deleted my domain name (or user name) name of what I thought, it was the administrator account on my computer and have had problems with this terrible OS (Windows XP Home Edition) since then.

  After reading so many different forums and comments everywhere you can imagine, I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Now, I have more administrator access nor can I make changes or install programs and am extremely frustrated.

  My account is now show as a guest, even if all my files are always available. Fortunately, the files were shared (at least this is what HP told me) don't know if I believe that all they said.

  When I fell net user list all users on my computer, there is NO listed administrator account. I see my guest account, another account I have on the system with limited access and four other records that don't make sense. I also tried to access the account of SafeMode several times and still don't see it.

  This is the information that is collected from the command net user:

  The user shows my "name of the guest account; Full name is empty; Comment watch "of the computer or to the domain administrative account"; Active account, '' Yes. '' Membership in a local group, "Administrators"; Membership of a global group, 'none '.

  So, I did a search on the Internet looking for more answers and came across a Web site that lists a likely solution (something new) because I assumed it was a registry problem (HP something else advised, in addition to the OS being corrupt, trying to add the administrator account), bringing my departure to HKEY_Classes_Root to check permissions for each user and possibly add permission for my so-called Administrator and guest account.

  So I went to check the users listed in the registry under HKEY_Classes_Root and find the names of users or groups:

  1. administrators ("my computer name" \Administrator)

  2 creator owner - no

  3 system

  4. the user ('my computer name' \users).

  So I followed the instructions and when it came to the part 'Search now', I clicked on the button to find the user accounts on my computer and found the following:

  Administrator - "my computer name.

  Comments (shows red (X))

  Guests (network)

  Help Wizard (shows red (X))

  Helpservers (network service)

  HP_Owner (interactive logon remotely)

  'Username guest' (service)

  "Another user name" (system)

  and some other user... information irrelevant.

  Now, I have a virus on the "another user name account" that I can't remove nor can I feed my antivirus because of the problem of the Administrator program. I also tried to save my files online and can not do it because I can not install any programs due to... Yes, the question of the administrator.

  Can someone please, please tell me what can be done to fix this? I'm at my wits end. I don't think that it requires my withdrawal, repair and reinstall my BONES together. There have a solution to this problem. And I hope that's not the same answers as I read in so many forums that seem to give the same answer over and over again. Also, I apologize if I look a little rough, but I'm so very frustrated with this XP thing. I had multiple computers and different systems of BONE, which I've NEVER had any problems, but this XP thing is by far the worst I've ever seen in the history of my experiences with many computers.

  Help, please!

  I understand your frustration.  However, one of the hardest parts to try to provide technical support through a forum like this (or by e-mail or phone even) communicates with precision between the problem and the person trying to help. Although your message is long, it raises more questions than it provides information.

  For example:

  I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Windows XP Home Edition, indeed there is a built-in Administrator account, but by default it is only available in Mode without failure.  Somehow, you managed a rename this account in all what you mean by , (b) accessible in normal mode, (c) leave it in the administrator group, but d remove administrative privileges on account of.

  In addition, I don't know where you looked under .  As far as I know, there is nothing on the permissions of the user.  This website has the instructions you followed?

  I suspect that the cause of your problem may be 'the' virus (there may be several) which has infected your computer, rather than what you did to your user account.  If you are able, I suggest to run each of the following free applications:

  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: malwarebytes.org [update after installation]

  SUPERAntiSpyware: superantispyware.com [update after the installation or the use of theportable version , which needs no installation]

  Multi-AV - Instructions here:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

  Although you're probably right, that reinstalling Windows is not necessary, it is the solution of many remote (including those in the forums like this) fall back on when he cannot understand what is happening.  At this point, your best option would be to take your computer to a competent local professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/geeksquad of the place) and let someone actually watch.  Tell them that you do not want to reinstall Windows.

  Ask them if they can do a "repair installation" instead (although this cannot fix things in the case of a serious viral infection).  The difference between a repair facility and a 'clean install' or 'restore factory settings' is that the last two options delete all your data and all the applications you installed since you bought the computer.  A repair installation - if this works as expected - keeps the data and applications.  But it's always a good idea to back up the data before you do anything like that.

• Administrator account type changed from standard

  I have 2 on my pc to Setup user accounts - two of them have been "administrator."  They have now been changed to the standard.  That's happened?  Was it a Vista update that made that change?  I used the built-in Administrator account to log in and then tried to create a new administrator account or to change one of my other administrator accounts and it would not allow me to do.  What else can I do to have an administrator account.  If there is a Vista update that made the change - could you tell me what day it was.

  Thank you

  You said you tried the iin built administrator account - did you mean the account designated in this procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html.  If this is not the case, try to use this procedure to create a new administrator account and see if it works (or use it to modify your current standard accounts administrator accounts and then return the administrator accounts.

  I have not heard of this problem before and if it causes an update, others here would be announcement of similar problems and I never saw any of these positions. Still, it could be caused by an update, but it is unclear what update caused it it you can't help remembering when the problem started and tell us what updates have been installed around this time by number of KB.  If you honestly think that it is a problem of Windows Update, then you should transfer your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where experts in the updates wll be more that happy to help - but since you don't know when the problem started or what update or updates may be the cause It will be very difficult for them to provide recommendations (as it is here for us).

  Hare done you nothing recently requiring administrative rights so that we can determiine when accounts ceased to have administrator rights? Did you all any program?  You did changes in the control panel?  Did you install any new harware or drivers of devices?  NO MATTER WHAT?  You may not go back further than you think to do a restore point that could very well solve the problem if you remember when you did a single administrator can do.  System Restore does not affect your data at all.  You just need to re - install everything you have installed, including updates between now and the restore point.  If it'snly a week or two or even three there, which is probably not so much to do - you do not install several new programs are that often you (and Windows Update will be autormatically re - install the removed updates here so no effort on your part).

  Here is an article on the evolution of the types of user accounts (but you will need to log in as the built-in administrator for this to work since it can only be done by an administrator) and try the second and more advanced option and see if it works better than the normal method: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/122023-user-account-type.html.  While you are connected to the built-in Administrator account, try to do a few other features that require administrator rights to see if it actually has administrator rights itself as it should.  If you can not do all the administrative tasks with this account, then the problem is greater than it seems and we will have to refocuse on the problems of file system or hard drive corruption and we might need to do a re-install to repair/Upgrade from Vista to solve the problem.  Who can still be the case if you are unable to create admninstraror accounts or edit standard accounts to the same administrator accounts by using the built-in Administrator account

  We will try to test your system and hard drive for the corrupton files (and these procedures can sometimes resolve the corruption, but not always):

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are unable to do this, boot from the installation disc and select recovery and continue until you get to a screen of options, including the command line).  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If you use the drive, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command line in the same directory, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  I hope this helps (and I am sorry if my first suggestion bother you so much - it is the most logical solution to this type of problem and works in many cases, not most of the cases - I wasn't aware of the circumstances that you revealed in your response, when I suggested it, but I think that it could still be a viable option if we can identify a reasonably recent time somehow). If this isn't the case, please post back the results of what you did and the results of the analysis that you have run and we can go from there.

  Good luck!

• My administrator account has been demoted to a guest account

  Hello

  MS Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2
  All the latest updates and hotfixes applied
  Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
  4 GB OF RAM

  I went to uninstall a program, a couple of days, and when they the UAC confirmation to enter a password, I could just click Cancel (OK is grayed and he had nowhere to type a password). I reset the computer, the same question. I checked my user account under control panel > user accounts and noticed that under my username, he said I was using a guest account (!). Problem is that this has always been an administrator account.

  I went to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users to check what was going on with the account. On the Member tab, it says that the only group I'm in is the debugger users. If I check that guests belonging to a group, only the default account of comments is a member.

  I reset the computer, press F8, and returned in the mode of repair to the system restore a few days ago. This solves nothing, so I restored in a week - the time I can be absolutely sure that I have confirmed successfully an action with the UAC as a system administrator. Still no resolution.

  Accounts administrator and guest of default have been disabled when I bought the computer and never allowed them. As I was alone in the debugger and not to the Administrators group users group, I created only ever this one account - so even in repair mode, I can't log in as an administrator to change the setting of user for this account group.

  Anyway to get this account to a point where user accounts see Computer Management snap-in see, it is to say, that I am NOT a member of the guest, but rather a member of the debugger user group (which I'm lead to believe is a notch below a hand full admin)?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi shehaal,.

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista.

  However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated.

  If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure.

  Sign in and then go to control panel > user accounts and change the account type.

  You can also try to create a new user account with privileges that the user account is damaged and check if the problem persists.

  Follow the link that talks about how to create a new account below:

  Create a new user account:

  1. click on the Start button and then click Control Panel.

  2. click on classic view in the left panel.

  3. double click on user accounts.

  4. click on manage another account to use.

  5. click on create a new account, and then type the name.

  6. choose the type of account as an administrator of the computer.

  7. click on create account.

  8. log off and log on with the new account.

  If the problem occurs, don't use this profile instead of the problem. Follow the steps below to transfer personal data.

  User profile of transfer:

  1. log on as the new user account (make sure that the user account has administrator privileges).

  2. click on the start menu, and then click computer.

  3. click the button hold in the upper left corner and choose folder and Search Options.

  4. on the view tab, check "Show the hidden files and folders" and click OK to save the settings.

  5. navigate to the folder C:\Users\(old user name).

  Note: The "old username" is the username of your old account. For example, if your old account user name is 'Larry', the folder must be C:\Users\Larry.

  ((5 copy all the files and folders in the C:\Users\(old folder user name) in the folder C:\Users\(new user name).

  Note: To copy all of the files, we can press Ctrl + A, then Ctrl + C in the folder C:\Users\(old user name). Then, navigate to the C:\Users\(new folder user name), click Ctrl + V. Replace with new files.

  You can also try scan SFC:

  The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  4. hit enter.

  The SFC scan should replace the corrupt files.

  I hope this helps you, good luck.

  Kind regards

• Unable to get the administrator account.

  I changed my password (without the backup disk) and now I can't access my account admin or make updates.  Is it possible that I can get the password set to day for I can put?

  Syed, is simply not true. Vista (and Windows 7) has means legitimate integrated for the OP to enter its system, which do not require a password for third-party software cracking and therefore who works against the rules of the forum, Ms.

  "Connieongeek" - 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).

My OS is Vista Home premium 64-bit and I only use THE 32-bit version or Firefox.  I uninstalled and installed Flash on both accounts to make sure that I have the latest version, but the Flash works on my administrator account.  I checked that Shockwave Flash Object add on is enabled.  I checked the Flash executables reside in both SysWOW64\Macromed\flash and System32\Macromed\flash files, although the FlashUtil64_11_3_300_270_Activex.exe is located in the System32 folder and the FlashUtil32... resides in the SysWOW64 folder that seems intuitive.  But it works on the administrator account, so I guess that's not the issue.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  1. What is the error message on the nonadministrator account?

  2. what happens when you try to play videos online using Internet Explorer?

  3. what version of IE are you using?

  4. What is the accurate and complete error message?

  Method 1.

  Follow these steps and let me know the status.

  1 Uninstall Flash Player of two user accounts.

  2. reinstall Flash player only on the admin account. You must install only the 32-bit version of Flash Player.

  Method 2.

  It is likely that the user account can be corrupted.

  You can create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

  If the problem is resolved, the corruption of user account is confirmed. You can see the article 'Fix a corrupted user profile', so that you can transfer all the necessary data on the account damaged to the new account.

• Accidentally deleted my administrator account

  So I was messing around with a few things and I went on 'Run' and type 'control of useraccounts2' I was using the keyboard instead of the mouse to move and click on stuff and I clicked 'Delete' while my administrator account has been highlighted and I deleted my administrator by accident account.

  However, the account I deleted still seems to work for most... I have another administrator account. When I look in the 'user accounts', my other administrator account is still there, and he said that this is an administrator account, so I don't really understand what is happening...
  So my question is is there a way to solve this problem and if so, how?
  Thank you

  Hi AndrewDavis64,

  ·         Have you deleted the account appears on the home screen?

  ·         If it is, can you login to the account?

  I suggest to create a new user account with administrator privileges and check if the problem persists.

  If you are unable to open Control Panel to create a new user account and then, try to create this in safe mode.

  If the problem is solved by the new user account you may have a corrupted user account, follow the article to fix the damaged user profile.

• Account of Vista standard user will not open programs that more, can only open with the administrator account

  Whenever I try to open a program on a standard user account, a window opens asking "what program you want to use to open this with?", which is of course less useless.  I can open all programs with the administrator account, but then I can't access files of the standard user...  What happened all of a sudden; We had a malware infection that is now deleted and who may well have caused the problem.  If I use the system restore, the malware will return?  Prefer not to use SR if there is a better solution...

• Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect, but immediately disconnected return.

  Original title: why my account automatically disconnect?

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect but then before he's even changed screens, immediately disconnect back.
  I can connect to it using safe and I ran Anti-malware, Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care and they have all come without any problem.
  Now, I guess I'm using an account with administrative privileges but different. I just need to open Windows Media Center, but every time I try, it says: I'm on the guest account. My machine won't let me create a new account, delete other accounts, or even to change the passwords. In addition, a random ASP.NET account appears and I can't remove it.
  I don't understand what I could do wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Jorgomli,

  1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to connect?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1:

  Because you can connect to the account administrator in safe mode, you can try to create a new safe mode administrator account and check.

  Check out the link:

  Create a user account

  Step 2:

  If still face problems, then you can try setting the default Administrator account and check if you can solve the problem.

  a. click the Start button

  (b) in the Start Menu, click all programs followed accessories

  c. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option

  e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  f. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

  g. close the elevated command prompt.

  h. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  i. click the photo icon display built-in Administrator account and connect to it.

  If the problem is resolved, then you can create a new administrator account and check.
