    Important note...
    This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed for the account of the problem.

  • How to replace or change the administrator password.

    Original title: I've got a helping hand me down from the laptop. The previous owner was also the administrator. She forgets all THE passwords.

    Please help if you can tell me how can I know or overide the administrator password and the password of the office she now had on users page where you select the user who will use the laptop. As you can see, I'm not computer very warned, I am on SSI and was thrilled to have the laptop to help me but I can't get the passwords I need to help remove, install or difficulty of the programs, files and as I manage problems. I try to install or uninstall something or the computer tells me that I have to do something and then the administrator password is necessary. I went to the Helpdesk and they were very useful for what they could do for free and it can all work but I can't access anything until I can log on to the Office of the administrator first, then do as I was directed by Microsoft Help Desk. Anyone who could help me I would be happy because I can't afford to take it to a professional. And I have no idea how to get around the administrator passwords. I looked for administrator password forgotten, but he did not come. I need to access any of the password for the administrator Office, and then I could get into some other areas or try the Help Desk tells me. Or if anyone knows how to do all this, I had like to hear on your part, thank you.

  • Receive the Error Message "the user profile Service could not connect. Cannot load the user's profile' trying to change the administrator password

    Original title: how to change a password for an administrator account that does not work properly?

    When I try to change the settings for an account via the Control Panel, I get the admin password, but nothing happens. Close the popup box, but the program I want to open do nothing.

  • I need to change the administrator password

    My husband was the administrator of our computer and he died in June.  I don't know what it is.  I never needed to know because he took care of everything.  How to change or find out what it is.  The system restore disk will do it

    Hello

    The system restore disk will not help you find the password. Unfortunately, you cannot change the password without knowing the administrator password. If you have another
    account administrator on the computer, then you can log in to that account and change the password from there. Since you have a restore disc, you can reinstall Windows and
    start all over again.

  • Impossible to change the administrator password

    My account says I'm administrator, but there are programs that the computer say I do not have permission to remove and I tried to change my password and he said: I can't. I have my computer didn't help so no remote and no group residential or the network. This computer is mine so what do I do?

    Original title: block administrator

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right

    direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the exact error message when you say, ' I tried to change my password and he said: I can't? "
    2. You did it of any significant changes to the computer before this problem?
    3. You are connected to a local user account or an Microsoft account?

    It seems that your administrator password is unable to validate Windows Server.

    If connected to a Microsoft account, I suggest to reset your account password and try to connect to your computer Windows 8.1 and check if it helps fix the problem.

    See the links for more information on how to reset your Microsoft Account password.
