• Windows 7, I forgot the password of the account with administrator privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
  After solving this problem, plan in advance and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare House key.

But I still have problems with windows updates, firefox plant all the time I use especially it is good that told me to use firefox. My computer is very slow and Windows Defender im always invited to allow allow or deny the same programs.

• Beta 5 of Firefox does not check the updates from an account without administrator privileges and won't ask administrator privileges apply downloaded update

  I can't get Firefox Beta 5 to check the updates using an account without administrator privileges. Beta version of Firefox 5 downloaded an update (from 2 Beta Beta 3), and now, there's a button apply update in the Firefox window that won't hurt, even though the update is properly applied from another account with administrator privileges.

  I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. In general, I use Firefox for an account without administrator privileges and provide the only administrator credentials when you are prompted to install or remove software.

  Delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.
  
  You may need to remove active - update.xml and updates.xml so, if it is present.

  Hi Sandymon,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Do you get this error only when you try to download only this particular game or something else?

  From now on, I would say lets you do a [SFC] System File Checker scan on the computer. He will try to repair the system files missing or infected.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

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

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

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

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all files must be replaced, SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your DVD of Windows Vista/Windows 7 for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.
