    The system hides the built-in Administrator account on Windows XP Home Edition when you create a second administrator account and she is only available for use by visiting Mode safe.  You can copy the profile of the account administrator part of your new account.

    Follow the instructions here: to copy a user profile

    Note that you can not copy a profile to or from the account that you are currently connected, if you want to copy the user profile to user B, you must be connected with the C & C user the user must have administrator privileges.

  • 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).

  • is it possible to give all administrator privileges to another administrator account other than the original administrator account?

    I created another account to administrator and I deleted the original (which was set in place when I got my computer) and kept the original files. I was then going to use my new administrator as the main account. I tried to install and update to an application and he said I have peut not be able to download all the updates, because the original was the one that installed applications.

  • Unable to get the administrator account, receive the error such as the user profile service failed logon. User profile could not be loaded. "

Now, even after restarting the computer several times I can not directly connect to my main Administrator profile. I have another profile without administrative privileges already done so I could at least use my computer, but only with limited permissions. When I try to do something to solve the problem, as the registry change, I'm prompted to enter the administrator password. I enter the password and the alert box goes, and nothing happens. Enter the password seems doing nothing, except the aknowledge the password is correct (it warns me when I entered a wrong password so I know it's no doubt receiving data). DOoes anyone know how to fix this? The computer works relatively well recently and have no idea of what decoration could have happened to cause such a mistake that bothers.

  • I can not access my administrator account.

    I created two accounts on my computer an os win xp, administrator of one and the other. My computer does not show me the two accounts on the login screen so I get no option to connect to my administrator account. It automatically goes on the second account. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    Under normal circumstances XP Home does not have the single account defined to be anything other than an administrator account. If she did, then you might get caught in a situation that requires an administrative account to rectify but do not have a.

    If you need an account to access for some reason, you'll be...

    Create another administrator account, after which you can change "Mr. Hernu" to limited

    ... or...

    Create another account limited

    On behalf of Mr. Haroon (or any other administrative account) must be able to all the administrative tasks, including adding or remove programs.

    I hope that clarifies your situation.

    For your information, there is an administrator account in XP Home called Administrator, but it is only accessible by starting in safe mode. I wouldn't recommend using this account for anything other than to emergency situations.

    In regards to your problem of disk space, 20 GB is virtually nothing these days. I'm not surprised that you run lack of space. Will help to run Disk Cleanup (start - all programs-Accessories System Tools), but that might only postpone the need for a bigger hard drive.

    Please follow my previous advice (I added to edit) about the issues you are experiencing deletion of programs.

  • Manufacturer installed administrator account which I can't delete.

    Hello

    I recently sent my computer to the manufacturer to have the keyboard replaced (doubtful keys).  They seem to have created another administrator account and I would like to remove it.  I don't get the option 'delete it' - then that I now get to my account and never used to.

    So, what should I do to go back with 1 single administrator account?

    Is there a way I can "track" that they were watching that they should not have been?

    They also removed my admin password protection accounts... hope they enjoyed wandering through my files... who me irritated without end.  I have fixed, but sheesh, really guys.  How important my account would be to simply change the keyboard?  I guess than NOT AT ALL, and they were just BUG.

    "They seem to have created another administrator account and I would like to remove it."

    It would be best to contact the manufacturer of the computer to this topic, because they would have a record exactly what they were doing.
