Disabled the Administrators account

I went to try and create user permissions in Microsoft Management Console and somehow managed to disable the Administrators account. When that I start the computer the account only has a guest account option which means that I can not change the administrators active account again. How can I change this?

Hi JP Eiman,.

Try to change the type of user account to administrator of built in check and UAC if the issue is resolved.

In Windows Vista, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default. In previous versions of Windows, an administrator account was created automatically during Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE) with a blank password.

An account administrator with a blank password is a security risk. To better protect the system, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in all new installations and upgrades of Windows Vista.

You can create a new user account by following the instructions in the link below, if she works built in the user account.

  • Disable the user account from DIO after 90 days of inactivity - IOM

    Hello

    I have a requirement where I have to disable a user account, if it has not signed the last 90 days in our environment (OID). Users are authenticated via OAM when they connect. Anyone have an idea what attribute in what class of object OID should be checked for the last connection attempt made by the user and what is the data type of the same thing? It's a date that I can compare after completing an initial context of LDAP OID and pointing to each single user?

    Really need a solution for this. Please answer.

    While trying to change the folder permissions for a second user on my computer, I did something that I lock my C drive.

    When I log in with the administrator account, I get the following popup:

    C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    When I right click on the C drive and select Properties > Security tab > go on, said the popup "cannot open the access control editor. Access is denied. »

    When you select Properties > Security tab > advanced > owner tab > continue, current owner says "unable to display current owner. Can not change, cannot be changed.

  • Standard user account cannot access the programs installed by administrators account

    I have a new Windows 7 computer. I installed various programs using the Administrators account, and then I created a Standard user account. When I login as a user standard I can't see all installed programs. Some are, some are not aware that I have nothing differently when I installed each program. I deleted the first standard user account and created a new standard user but still don't see not all installed programs.

    Thank you

    Claire

    When you have installed programs, perhaps you have chosen to install just for the first user. In all cases, you can put shortcuts to programs in the Menus to start other users.

    Right click on the "All programs" button from the Start Menu and choose 'Open' to get user-specific Start Menu folder. Choose "Open All Users" to download the file of the start - the system-wide Menu.

    %Appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder or user-specific and
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu for all users.

    Then just copy the shortcut icons, as you wish.

    By the way, I always install programs from the Standard user account, providing the password/OK to the UAC prompt. Even if of course you want an administrative user established (and always run as standard for your daily work), almost never, you need to log on to the administrative account.

  • How to access the administrator account disabled on standard user account?

    I recently disbaled my account admin by this step

    Now, I want access to my admin account

    I tried to access it from the login screen by clicking CTRL + ALT + DELETE but his does not work and also tried to start a cmd as administrator of the standard user account, but his is not accessible. Now I can able to access standard user only, now please tell me how to access my admin account to standard user account that I created.

    What you were doing was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. Not a good idea. Here's how you can recover from this error:

    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. Configure Windows to a point before you disabled the admin account.
    8. Instead of disable your own and only the account admin, you now need to create, test, and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
  • To disable the account so they can sign documents even if they do not need to send or create them

    I run into issues with account management for our groups. There are several accounts that have been created where users decide that they do not really need to create documents, but they still need the ability to sign documents that other users create and send their.

    The problem that I am running is that as soon as I disable the user account, they are no longer able to sign a document that is sent to them. Instead, they are being asked to login to their account EchoSign, even if it has been disabled.

    This attitude is contrary to the understanding that there is no need an account only to sign a document that is sent to their email address. We do have enough licenses to simply allow the accounts to remain active when the user does not intend to use them to send documents.

    It seems I'm missing something very basic, because obviously, it should be simple enough to change a users permissions to be able to create documents that he is just able to sign documents they receive. Please lend me any advice you may have on this.

    Hello d0Ryan,

    By default, a signatory didn't need an E-Sign account to sign documents electronically. That being said, if a signer is not an account, then it should be active as inactive accounts cannot provide signatures. In your scenario, if you wish, we can remove users from your account and can convert them to release level so that they have the possibility of esign documents and still does not license paid into your account.

    If this suites you, so please inbox me your EchoSign registered email address, with users who are involved.

    Kind regards
