• 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.

  Create a user account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

  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.

• I accidentally deleted the administrator account while trying to get rid of administrator privileges - HELP!

  I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges for that when I'm on another user account he don't ask me the password, or install all the files that I had the intention of this account to the administrator account. I used the command net user administrator / active: No.

  I'm not quite sure if I completely deleted the account or hidden in some way, but now whenever I try to do anything that requires the administrator password (almost everything) I don't even have an opportunity to choose Yes to enter and only the no option I can't change any settings on the computer at all by using a user account This being via CommandPrompt, Panel etc. I'm at a complete loss as what to do.

  (Also, if someone was uncertain, the account Administrator is not visible on the screen to connect.)

  I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges

  -> Order net user administrator / active: No. will do exactly what it says: it allows to disable the administrator account. That is to throw the main key to the safe. Here's how you can reverse this reckless action:
  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the administrator account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, even you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Cannot delete the administrator account

  Hello:

  I am an administrator in Windows 7 and I cannot delete another account Administrator named 'test '. When I select the "test" account in the management of accounts, I get the list of choices:
  Change the name of the account
  Create a password
  Change the image
  Set up Parental controls
  Manage another account.
  When I click on my original administrator account, the list of options is:
  Change the name of the account
  Change the password
  Remove the password
  Change the image
  Set up Parental controls
  Change account type
  Remove account
  Manage another account
  The 'delete account' does not appear in the account of 'test '. So, how can I delete this account 'test '?
  Thanks for any help.
  Alex

  The "Test" account was probably the original ' administrator' account until you have renamed it. It cannot be deleted. You can find as follows:

  1. Click on the globe to start, and then type the three letters cmd into the search box and press ENTER.
  2. Type these commands and press ENTER after each:
     net users
     (to see a list of all accounts)
     NET user test
     (to see all the details for the test account)
  Anyway, as one admin account is a bad idea, even than having just a key to the House. What would you do if something was wrong with this single account? At all times, you should have two accounts admin fully tested and documented.

  How to restore an Administrators account that was accidentally deleted before the creation of the new Administrators account?  Windows XP

  I have another account directors, but it changed right before user privileges.

  Windows Xp has a default Administrator account that are visible only in safe mode when a new admin account has been created. Cannot delete the administrator account by default no matter what you do. When you remove a user, and then you get these options on the screen:

  (a) delete files
  (b) keep the files
  (c) cancel

  If you have selected a) then the files are well and truly gone. I'm sorry. However, if you selected option b) then you will be able to see the profile in C:\Users folder.

  Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted to choose an account select administrator. Re-create the user profile.

• File ran and transfer settings Wizard Installation all users in Administrator account info

  I did a Windows XP Pro 32-bit clean install on a laptop.  After I installed all the software and drivers on the machine, I ran the file and Assistant to bring users account on the machine to transfer the parameters.  The problem is that I stumbled accidentally while still connected as long as administrator, all the information of users installing to the default Administrator account.  Y at - it an easy way to remove the users from the administrator account info, or to delete the administrator account take it back to the installed version of basic?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Original title: using files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Oops

  Hello

  I suspect that Naman R misinterpreted your post. My interpretation is that you have used the Wizard Windows XP file / transfer settings, no Windows Easy Transfer.

  Assuming you still have available transfer fluid, which is a kind of external drive (USB, probably), there is no reason why you should transfer the settings again, but in the correct user profile.

  With respect to the transfer in the account manager, all the parameters of implementation of changes should be reversible system restore (start - all programs-Accessories-System Tools System Restore). Data can only be deleted while signed in as an administrator. Do the system restore before doing the right files and transfer settings, otherwise it will also cancel these changes in settings that have been applied to the appropriate user profiles.

  Hi desmondlau,

  ·         Did you completely remove the account?

  ·         Do you have any other user account on the computer?

  ·         If so, is that a Director or a limited account?

  Try the following.

  Step 1: Try to start in safe mode. Check if you can login as administrator.

  Step 2: If you are able to connect, and then create a new administrator account and other changes. Restart the computer in normal mode to see if you can connect.
