• Guest account is not "secure".

  I have an E-1000 router. It works very well. With the help of Cisco connect, I put a guest with a password account.

With the help of Cisco Connect, I checked and re-checked the guest account has a password. In fact, at Cisco Connect it said "customers can log in using the password... ». Why no padlock icon?

• User account Windows 7 and security - my administrator account is now a guest account

  I seem to have a complex problem, regarding Windows 7 Professional, running on a Toshiba laptop.

  I recently changed my C: drive security features to make the files more accessible to my PC desk top of the page. I went through the process to allow the authorization: Windows Explorer, Driver C:, properties, security, group or user names:

  I selected my user account, and then you click on change. I then highlighted my name of user account and when permissions for authenticated users box below and clicked under the column allow "full control". The system when by a long time to change the permissions.

  Today, I tried to access the files on my laptop on my desk, all seemed very well! I was able to copy files back from both sides through my network. However, today, I noticed that my user account has become a guest account, while he was an administrator account. My administrator account is no longer visible.

  I tried the various patches available online in safe mode. Nothing helps.

  When I start my laptop in safe mode, I see only my administrator account and not my user account. When I start my laptop computer in normal mode, I see that my user account and not my administrator account. My account user has full administrative rights before that.

  How can I get my a new administrator account user account?

  Please clarify these aspects:

  1 you are referring to an administrator account.  There really the administrator username?  If so, this is the built-in Administrator account.

  2. Why do you say that your account is a guest account?  If you go into Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], user accounts is your normal account appear as a Standard user account?  That at least seems logical, the account guest is something very specific.

  - - - - - - - - - - - -

  If my assumptions were correct then

  A reboot in safe mode and use of the built-in Administrator account to create a new Admin-level account.  Password protect and write the password somewhere down or create a password reset disk.

  B connect to the new account Admin to test is everything is OK.

  C use where the other account to edit your account usual back to being an Admin-level account.  Then sign in to ensure that it works correctly. Restart normally [not in safe mode].

  D disable the built-in Administrator account if it appears in the Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], user accounts, Manage another account.  I don't think it will be.

  E if you want to check out so you can now reboot into safe mode, and the built-in administrator will be gone from here too.  It appears automatically in safe mode if no other Admin account exists in the system.

  - - - - - - - - - - - -

  On the procedure that started it all off, the permissions change.  Windows does not expect this large-scale change and I invite you to reinstall Windows, since you do not know in what condition the system is now in - Windows probably does not know either.

• Extreme problem of airport with the guest account

  It drives me crazy! I had the extreme AC router from the airport for a couple of years now. It works perfectly if the guest account is disabled. Whenever I try to enable the guest account access, I have a time very very difficult to connect to this account. The main and guest account are both set to wpa2. When I connect, I get proverbial bells and whistles go telling me airport utility system is set to be implemented via cable wan which decreases the Security (in my own home that is not a problem) and it tells me to put it in bridge not NAT and DHCP mode. If the clipping the guest account value absolutely not allow internet connection. What I am doing wrong?

  The macbook, I am trying to connect is running LION

  What is the brand and model of the modem Internet you have your AirPort Extreme, directly connected by Ethernet?

  If this device is actually a combination modem & router, then your extreme must be configured as a bridge. Guest network does NOT work in Bridge mode.

  Hello

  Here is a very good explanation by Malkeleah and others in the linked Thread that explains that it is virtually impossible to stop a person access to your computer, if they really want.

  "(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

  1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

  2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

  3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

  4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

  5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

  Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.

• Unable to connect to the internet through guest account

  We cannot connect to the internet using the guest account. I suspect a security update or my mischievous adolescent son changed a setting. This just recentlty that happened (in the past 48 hours) HELPS... I spent over 2 hours trying to get it online. The journal of WMD works very well and I was able to create another account just to see, and it also connects very well. What is the problem and how can I fix it?  Thanks, Biggator

  You do not want to connect to the Internet by using the guest account because it is precarious. In fact, you won't use the guest at all account. The guest account is a special system account, not one for when you feel hospital. For some reason, it is disabled by default in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Linux, Unix and OS X.

  On TechNet:

  "The guest account is intended for users who need temporary access to the system. However, if this account is activated, a security risk may exist because an unauthorized user could have anonymous access to the system through this account. »

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb418978 (TechNet.10) .aspx

  So if you have enabled comments, turn it off now and create a standard/Limited (Vista, Windows 7, XP Professional/XP Home) for your visitors. Call the new user account to something like "visitor".

  And since you mentioned a teenage son:

  Make sure that the computer is clean:

• XP insists on the use of guest account

  I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express on a computer with XP SP3. The installation showed no failure & I can locally access and query databases.

  I have a 2nd machine running also XP SP3 which can also access and query the databases mentioned above on #1 using Sql Server authentication.

  When #2 tries to use Windows authentication, it (#2) insists on using the guest account to Windows # 1 to access the SqlServer guest account.

  If I disable the prompt Windows or SqlServer comments # 1, Windows authentication fails, saying that the respective account is disabled.

  I have the same username on the machines and the same password. I also tried using the administrator account on both machines with the

  same results. Each machine I use Windows Explorer to access any file on the remote computer. So I think that and

  are exactly the same on both machines.

  Both machines are on the same workgroup. There is no domain controller.

  I did another experiment.   #1 can access and query data bases on #2 using Windows authentication WITHOUT using comments. In fact invited XP is

  disabled on #2 most SQL Server Express does NOT include a guest connection.

  I posted this problem on the SQL Server Express forum, but had only 1 response which implies that the problem could be due to the configuration of XP. He

  certainly no response suggested a SQL Server configuration problem.

  Any help will be much appreciated. TIA, Joe

  Well, I found the answer & nothing to do with Sql Server 2008 Express.

  The problem was with the #1 machine's local security policy setting. Specifically, the network access: sharing and security model

  for local accounts. You had to be on "classic - local users authenticate themselves."

• Second laptop connect only with the guest account

  I have an E1500 which replaced a broken WRT54GS. I have a desktop office computer using the ethernet cable to the Internet via a DSL Modem and I have two other laptops, one is a Macbook Pro running Lion and the other is a Toshiba running WinXP SP3 using two Wi - Fi connection. Before installing the E1500 all three computers were able to connect to the internet via my secure connection, but now with the E1500, I can get the Mac to connect using my secure WPA2 Personal connection and the Toshiba will connect through the guest account. I lived the configuration wireless for the Toshiba providing several times I put in good properties wireless and network key, but it does not connect. The process of connecting Macbook was a blink of an eye without any problem. I also get Windows XP wireless connection properties back to default (WEP), because it will not hold personal WPA2 settings, but even if it contains personal WPA2 security settings it does not connect. I was also able to connect the Toshiba with the ethernet cable, without going through the wireless network.

  Why can I connect via the guest account and not via my connection on the Toshiba? Help someone?

  Thanks for the detailed explanation.

  I had actually just this solved tonight with about 2 hours of chat with Linksys. It turns out the Windows SP3 XP Toshiba doesn't have a true WPA2 - Personal encryption, only the WPA - PSK (pre-shared Key), while the Macbook Pro has WPA2 Personal. The whole system runs on a hexadecimal code 63. I got the router located on only WPA2 Personal. When I changed (manual) WPA/WPA2/joint, then I had two computers on the network. But then came another problem, when I connected with the Macbook, Toshiba has lost its connection with an error message - "IP address conflict with another system on the network. That proved to be the setting of the channel on the network. The channel was not sync from the old Linksys router configuration. Changed to channel 11 on the router to synchronize with the Macbook Pro and that has been resolved. There is no option for channels on the Toshiba that I can find.
