  • My mac won't let me access my administrator account

    Hello world

    I just bought a macbook pro a week ago and I have currently updated to OS X El Capitan 10.11.4. So here's my problem. Last night, I changed the name of my administrator account and tried to activate the user to guess account. Then I closed my mac and went to bed. This morning when I open my mac the log in window appears as usual, I enter my admin password and connection user guess window pops up asking for a password, sign in. I try to play by clicking on the icon of the user to guess, then a message pops up saying "this computer will restart to a secure system of Safari only for the user to guess." So now I can only connect this system only safari and cannot access my administrator account. Please help me, I need to connect to my administrator account as soon as possible.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey trqhien_1605,

    It seems that you simply log on to the guest user account, and then you can choose your administrator account and log in as usual. Here are some instructions on registering your account:

    Close the session

    Choose the Apple menu > Log Out. If you don't want the application windows you have currently open to reopen when you reconnect, deselect the option "reopen the windows when you log in.

    If your Mac is set up for multiple users, other users can connect once you disconnect.

  • XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

    Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

    You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

    Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

    You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

    For XP Home:

    You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

    For XP Pro:

    Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

    Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.

  • Created 2 standard user accounts and now the admin account is inaccessible. How to access my administrator account?

    I have Vista Edition Home Premium.  I got the account administrator and only called 'everyday', which were both available on the Welcome screen.  I was usually you log in to the admin account for my daily use of the computer, but realized that it was a bad idea.  I created a new account, he made an admin account and called "administration".  I changed then the administrator account, I had used so far for a standard account and named it 'everyday', which makes the account would connect you to our daily use.  Finally, I created a new standard account called 'secondary' for my husband to use.

    Now, when I turn on the computer, only accounts that I am able to connect in the Welcome screen are 'everyday' and 'secondary '.  I tried to find articles that would already be answering my question, but good solutions I've seen do not work or are not completely suitable for my situation.  I know the administrator account exists, I don't know how to connect to it.  How can I access my administrator account now?  Things like system restore and cmd / 'run as administrator' failure because I don't have privileges admin so I can't even begin to perform these tasks.

    Any help is appreciated!

  • I'm unable to access my administrator account. What should I do?

    I'm unable to access my administrator account. I accidentally downgraded two other accounts that I had standards. The account that remains an administrator is only a back-up, and the password it's forgotten. I tried repeatedly to enter the passwords I have used before and it didn't work.

    I tried several methods, including the run as administrator command line, but it says that my access has been denied. I can't go into Safe Mode, either. My laptop makes one beep when I press F8 during the restart. I can't download software to help me. I am unable to run most of the system, including System Restoresettings. My laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium, model Lenovo idea Pad N585.

    Is this what can I do to become an administrator? It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me solve this problem. I'll provide more details if they are needed.

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your system repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
    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 downgraded your admin accounts.

    If you do not have a CD to repair system, then you will need to ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore.

    P.S. A spare admin account is a great idea. Use for experiments, for example in downshifting, is doomed to failure.

  • 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.

  • How can I regain access MyWindowsApp administrator account on Vista?

    I changed my password last summer and actually I FORGOT my new password. I have locked my account administrator, but have been able to access through the guest account settings. I didn't know that Vista required to create a password reset disk before I changed the password. How can I regain access to the administrator account without having the password reset disk?

    Hello

    I think you left it too late in what concerns the use of the password for the original as requiring the use of a system restore point which, after this time may not yet exist

    but you can try it

  • After an update of windows, I can't not access my administrator account.


    Original title:
    windows update
    After a windows update, I can't access my administrator status.  It does not recognize my password.  Other work of accounts and passwords.  How to regain access?

    Hi Gwen,

    As other accounts work correctly, try to connect to any of the user account that has permission to the administrator and change the password of the account that fails to connect.

    See the following suggestions to change the password:

    1. open a session any account administrator on the computer.
    Note: You must be logged in as an administrator in order to change the password of the account another.
    2 click Start, type Control Panel in the search box, click on Control Panel and click user accounts.
    3 click on Manage another account.

    4. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes (if connected as administrator) or enter the administrator password (if connected as a standard user).
    5 select the user account that you want to change the password.

    6 click change the password.

    7 type the new password once, twice to confirm the new password, an index of passwordoption, and then click change password.

    8 when you're done, you can now close the change to an account window if you wish.

    I hope this helps.

  • I have Windows 7 and cannot access the administrator account

    I am unable to enter my administrator account because I accidentally put the wrong password in place.  I don't remember to save my life.  Unfortunately, I do not have a disk or anything else as a backup so I don't know what my other options would be.

    I really, really need to access my photos and files from the admin account.  Is it possible that I can recover?  Help, please!

    We will put your computing experience on a more solid basis as follows:

    • A Windows repair CD is absolutely essential if you decide to do maintenance on your own PC. It takes only three minutes to burn a via the control panel / backup and restore. Given that you have never created one before, you now have these options:
      -Burn it on another computer.
      -Borrow one from a friend.
      -Buy one here: http://systemdiscs.com/
    • Start dieting solid backup on an external device. With your valuable photos right on your PC takes a lot of unnecessary risks.
    • Create, test, and document an alternative admin account, as you have a spare House key. It takes less than a minute.

    When you have your CD to repair Windows, then you can solve your current problem as follows:

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

    I recently disbaled my account admin by this step

    Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users > admin account > properties > check an account is disabled

    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.
  • Unable to access my administrator account

    Hello. I forgot the password to my computer windows 7 sons. I created an administrator account and made him a standard user.  My son is now 15 and he wants to download games on the computer, but I forgot the password for the administrator account. How to unlock the account? Another problem is that I have not created a password reset link. Help, please.

    There are many other 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 on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • 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)
  • Enable SSH access to administrative accounts non-standard

    Hi all

    According to the administration of VCS Guide (p 298, x8.5.1), he suggests that "in general, local administrator accounts are used to access the VCS on its web interface or the interface API, but are not allowed to access the CLI".

    Well, I would like to make an exception then, how do I do this. The sentence that precedes suggests that exceptions are possible, but I can't find additional references.

    We looked at the ' / etc/ssh/sshd_config ', but of course, it is a read-only file structure.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    Chris

    I don't think it's possible, outside the admin account to access the CLI.  I know that the sentence says "In general", but to me, it reads as if all CLI access is reserved to all except the admin account.

  • Can access my administrator account

    One of us changed the administrator password and now can't remember! the indicator was not updated and we do not have a reset disk. We tried so many passwords... is it possible that the account is blocked? When you use a password recovery program, it does not find this specific password, but he found other users (with limited access)... Can give a clue? I need a full access and privileges to the computer. THX
