Create an account via a standard account admin

I have Vista Home with two accounts, a one and one other admin account standard. See the profile of my admin account is corrupted and I can only log on my standard account. I want to create another account to replace the admin one, but how can I do this via the standard user account. I can not activate the hidden either Administrator account such that she has always blocked.

You can not. You can enable the built-in Administrator by following the instructions below. Instructions are written generically so not everything can be there, but the methods are the same.

If your single administrative user account is damaged (and that is why only a single user account is A Bad Thing), you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator (disabled by default in Vista) account. From there, you can create a new user account for yourself. In these cases, I prefer not to copy the whole profile to a new way to do not copy the bits corrupt. I prefer a new user account to copy the data (documents, photos, emails, etc.). Here are the instructions to do this. I assumed that you had only an administrative account, then you might want to take a look at the "general recommendations for setting Up user accounts in Vista" 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.

System restore - you can try first to do a system restore when things worked. If you had only one user account, then you can either try activating and connecting the built-in Administrator account as described below or start with a Vista installation DVD and do a restore of the system from there. See below for what to do if you do not have an installation DVD.

Activating the built-in administrator - the first thing to do is to see if the administrator account is enabled by going in Mode safe. If there is no account of administrator user on the system, the built-in administrator may become activated it. Go in Safe Mode, press the F8 key as the computer starts. This will get you to the menu diagnosis. Select Safe Mode using the arrow key. If you see an icon for administrator on the Welcome screen, click it. The default password is white. Then go to control panel > user accounts and make changes.

If you don't see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode safe - 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 [Enter]

Remove the installation DVD and reboot the system in normal Mode. You will see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen.

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 the system Windows Vista (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. If this isn't the case, you can do a repair file Vista bootable 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 the third burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

After net user, remove the bootable CD and restart the computer. You will now see an icon for administrator on the Welcome screen. Connect to this account.

Create a new user account for yourself and by copying data from your damaged to her user account:

1. you are now connected to the built-in Administrator account. Go to control panel > user accounts and create a new Standard user for your daily work. Let's call it "Sheldon" for this example. Also create an administrator user, called 'CompAdmin' (or 'Tech' or similar).

2 Ouvrezunesession 'Sheldon' once for profile files are created. Now log off 'Sheldon' and 'CompAdmin '. In "CompAdmin", disable the built-in security administrator. Do this from a command prompt:

Start > Search > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK to the UAC prompt. Now, you will get the command prompt. Type:

NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter] and exit the command prompt.

3. always in 'CompAdmin', you want to open two windows explore side by side. Open computer and navigate to C:\Users\old-corrupted-account. Now, do that again, but navigate to C:\Users\Sheldon. Copy the data from 'old-corrupted-account' on records in 'Sheldon '. Remember your Favorites, bookmarks (if you use Firefox) and by e-mail if you use an email like Windows Mail client.

4. When you are finished, log in to "Sheldon. All your stuff should be there. When you are sure to have what you need, you can remove the old man-corrupted-account control panel > user accounts.

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).

  • only account admin on vista home 'broken '.

    I have a system running vista SP1 and somehow my account (admin only) is watered. When I try to open a session, after entering the password, the screen goes black with a mouse cursor.

    Hi NHMan61,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    You may have very limited options in this.  First of all, try to perform a startup repair to see if it will fix the error.

    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/5c59f8c1-b0d1-4F1A-AF55-74f3922f3f351033.mspx#ex

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc:

    1. Insert the installation disc.

    2. restart your computer.

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  • Account admin back

    On my laptop, I had only one account, and is an administrator account. I got all the permissions I already needed to do something to my computer. Material hardship and so I sent to get fixed. Finally, there was nothing wrong internally. Jump to today, I now have a second account that is the new Admin account and my account was restored to the Standard settings. They had my password to enter the account, why bother with the creation of a second account? Needless to say, I'm getting the race with contact support to resolve this issue. I want to restore the permissions of Directors on my account and delete the extra but it will not allow him. Is there another way to do this that I'm missing? I need Admin Access on my computer and I don't want to have to reinstall all my programs on a second account.  Is it even just a way to transfer to the new account Admin & remove the standard account (now)?

    HP Windows 7

    Who has managed to hide the account thank you, but I don't see how it's a backup of recovery because it does share all files with any of the other accounts.

    Hi QTByte

    I should have explained later.

    The built-in Administrator account can be used to retrieve if you lose access to the only administrator on the computer user account.

    If your normal administrator account is damaged, is removed or is accidentally changed to a Standard account, you will not be able to perform functions on the computer.

    In this case, you can start safe mode and hidden built-in Administrator account automatically appear on the Safe Mode login screen.

    You can log in with this account in Mode safe and use it to create another administrator account or change a Standard existing on an administrator account account.

  • How can I transfer the presets I created between accounts

    Hello, I've created presets in Pr Pro connected under my Admin account.  The presets appeared when I created a new project then in the Admin account.  But when I switched to my account the presets do not arise.  I would use these preset is the other account that I have where I work normally.  Where they are stored and how to make them to my other user accounts.

    Thank you

    Well, that changes things. However, you should be able to search for similar terms using Spotlight and you will find the path. It is somewhere in your home/user directory. I do not work with the Organization on the Mac, so I can't be more specific.

    Well right Jim - most of the programs like first is happier and tend to cause problems if they are running under an administrator account. Which is not to say that you can not run it under a standard user account, but who will be the first thing that most user and tech support will tell you if you have any questions. As long as you're not connected to the internet with your editing machine, there is no good reason not to use the Admin account.

    ADDENDUM: I think that the file you are looking for is 'Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset'. It is in the directory that I mentioned above. Also note that you can export your presets for effects from the effects to the files bin individual .prfpset you can switch to different platforms and then import them into the new platform where they form part of the file 'effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset '.

  • My administrator account disappeared when I created another account

    I recently bought a refurbished Windows XP computer. I used it at home. Previously, I had not created additional user accounts. I had been using the administrator account that my own user account. But I wanted to create additional accounts with limited access to resources.

    I created an account called James. I had not yet learned how to restrict privileges, James was a default Administrator account. I was going to change that later.

    But here's the problem: my administrator has disappeared. It does not appear as a choice when you start Windows. Also, when I use James, I have only limited access to resources. I had installed Microsoft Office, for example, but cannot access these programs. Furthermore, I can not access all my files from the user.

    What can I do? What happened to my administrator account?

    Try to start safe mode and see if your original admin account exists. There should also be a third account admin without password (if you want to use this account to your problems just press ENTER when you are prompted for a password) which is only accessible in Mode without failure. See below for instructions.

    Problem solved. Verizon had already created an account for me using the telephone number of my BB without so much as informing me. Unfortunately, the error message if displayed when you enter the code PIN indicated that the cause, which totally fooled me. When I finally called Verizon Support and gave them the PIN, the agent immediately informed that I already had an account, but with a user id under which I would normally not have chosen. But that's ok.

  • How to remove the built in account Admin

    Hello
    I have a problem with my administrator account as some of my applications do not launch integrated but they are themselves launched in my comments (I have converted to the account Admin using the command netplwiz ). But the problem is that now I want to get rid of my built-in Administrator account, but I'm not able to do. So far I have tried to do...

    (1) have all given permission for my guest account by running the command netplwiz .
    (2) open the command prompt on my guest account by getting the problem when I typed /delete "-account name" net user , I got the error "System 5" error. » Who is related to permission problems...
    (3) Control Panel-> user account-> remove account... when I tried to do that, I followed all the instructions until the end... But even after the account is still there...

    I don't know exactly what is happening with the 8.1 Windows (my bad decision to upgrade my windows 8 is to blame!). This window is driving me crazy because he is not the only issue I have with Windows 8.

    If there is something that remains to be tried it please let me know!
    Thank you
    Ekant

    You should never use the built in the administrator account on a regular basis and the guest account is not intended to be used as an administrator account. The two should is disabled and only used when they are needed. You should do yourself a time account administrator and a standard account that should be used for everything that does not require an administrator. Administrator account must be used as needed. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  • App rejected by apple 11.13.  Referenced the 'Create an account' link in the login box

    We have a right multi-folio (Enterprise level) application allows us to authenticate to our customers of current subscribers.  In various parts of the app we link to the site where a user can create an account and authenticate this account with a subscriber number.  The link goes to our site.  We are not trying to sell subscriptions through this process.

    The message from apple was the following:

    "The displayed pages have links to external pages for creating an account. The Connect dialog box also has a link to create an account that connects to the same Web page. It is illegal to 11,13 "

    It is the creation of account mentioned by Apple URL:

    http://www.ainonline.com/dpsregistrationform_isSubscriber

    Nothing has changed about this process, since we launched the app in April and now we cannot update the application.  Need to make the account creation process a function in application?  DPS has the tools to do this?  I imagine that most of the editors need a way to authenticate current submarines via some sort of authentication process and the App Builder has only an option to post a link to an external URL.

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

    Dave

    Make sure your external Web site not to allow the purchase of a subscription and then appeal the rejection. The guideline says:

    "Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to use in the application, such as a 'buy' button that goes to a website to buy a digital book, must be rejected."

    Let them know that she does not allow the purchase of the subscription and is only to create an account for use in the application.

In order to execute all orders of root, do I need to add to the group 'root '? Do need to be added to any group, or they may themselves using the su raise - command and entering the root password?
