• A technician had me create a new admin account now my original CD is missing, I need help

  A technician of a software company had me create a new admin user account to install a pesky software package. Now I can't see my original admin account. I need this back, I really don't want to have to put everything in place from scratch. Help please.

  You were probably using the built-in account named "Administrator".  This account is not intended for use on a daily basis, but as an emergency backup.  If you use it every day, you run the risk of corruption - and might be stuck without a viable account with administrator rights.  For this reason, Windows XP automatically removes 'Administrator' from the home screen as soon as another account was created.

  You can always get the account administrator as follows:

  If you have XP Home, restart the computer Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key immediately after powering the completion test.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited for a long time to start tapping and you have to start over.  Once Windows starts in Mode safe, you will see the administrator account on the Welcome screen.

  If you have XP Pro, you can use Mode safe mode as above or, with no other connected user welcome screen, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE.  The 'classic' logon screen appears.  Type administrator as the user name and any password assigned you.  The default password is blank (no password).

  However, I strongly suggest that you stop using the account "administrator."  You can copy the preferences, appearance and the documents of the original ' administrator' account to the new one that you have created (although you will need to temporarily create another account with "computer administrator" privileges to make the copy).  For instructions, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 simply treat the administrator account of origin as "corrupt" account referenced in the article.

• Help! Cannot return to admin account

  I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion g6. Somehow, my account went under standard user administration. I can't change this back. I tried a few different things without success. I tried to go through the cmd.exe using net user administrator / active: yes when logged in my profile. Did not work. Can not change via Control Panel (even though I used to, now I can't). I tried going through the local users and groups and well, can't find it. It is not listed under Computer Management (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management). Had to do a search for secpol.msc, because it is not come immediately. I tried to open that and got an error strange message that something could not load. Looking now it gives nothing. It comes to MY computer, I always had administrator rights. Could the fact that I have blocked Web sites on my profile through familysafety.microsoft.com have had an impact on it? What else can I do to get the admin restored to my user account? I'm NOT a geek, but I'm not meaning well enough, as long as they are clear (help of screenshots). Help please!

  Here you go:

  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  6 plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

  Hi kuentin,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

  When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

  There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

  (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

  (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

  (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

  (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

  I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

• I think I forgot my password for windows 7? IM the admin account only on my computer, how do I regain access? Help, please!

  Please help me, im unable to use my computer as I either forgot my password (which i have tried all the possibilities) OR I've been hacked? I'm not very sure, but I really need to regain access to my computer what can I do to reset the password?
  Sincere friendships x

  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 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).
  • 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 (only works if an indicator was created 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)

• Admin account went

  Hello

  I have an iMac 27 inches and for the last week has had problems with everything works really slow. I bought the clean my Mac 3 software and it at the start of the performance. A few days later my computer on from without my help.

  When I turned on the computer back, I don't the option connect to my Admin account, although I could still see my background image was still there. The only option was to connect as a guest.

  I looked on the forums for help and her I made this following without result.

  Entered my Admin user name with password and it did not work. I then reinstalled Safari and nothing has changed. I looked again on the forums and tried to launch the Terminal and typed in 1 s/users and the response has been - command not found.

  All my programs are always present, but I still have no option to log in as administrator. I was going to update to OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 Sierra, but without an Admin Im unable to do.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

  I bought the clean my Mac 3 software...

  'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

  • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
    • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
    • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
    • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
    • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.
    • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

  To remove 3 CleanMyMac itself, use its Uninstall module, followed the following additional steps:

  • Delete the file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    • To access this file, copy and Paste the following line in the menu to go to Finder > go to folder...

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

  • Locate the following file and drag it to the Trash:

  com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  • Then, open  (menu Apple) > System Preferences > users and groups > login items.
  • Select the item of Menu of CleanMyMac3
  • Click on the [-] (button less).
  • Restart your Mac.

  Beware that reinstall OS X has no effect on deletion CleanMyMac or reverse the damage, it is able to inflict on a system. To recover from the effects of using it to change the OS X / Sierra, you need additional software and essential files you need, follow the applicable recovery procedure below:

  • If you have a backup that you created before using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, start macOS Recoveryand in the form of Mac OS X utilities , select restore from a Time Machine backup. Choose a date prior to the installation of CleanMyMac.
  • If you don't have a backup previous use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do this read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.
    • The recovery procedure require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user account whose content will be empty. You can then use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents, including photos, music, products of work and other essential files.
    • To erase and install OS X read How to reinstall Mac OS on your Mac.
      • Follow step 2 to completely erase the internal memory of the CMA: delete a volume using disk utility.
      • Then follow the procedure to move your content to a new Mac.
      • When asked how you want to transfer your data, select transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup or boot disk.
      • Under Select the information to transfer, select only your old user account and do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or 'other files and folders. Deselect these choices.
    • After using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software that you might need, once more without forgetting to install the software from their original sources and by omitting all non-essential software.
    • "Non-essential software" is a broad category that includes, but is not limited to the products 'antivirus' third party 'cleaning' and 'maintenance '.

  Hi

  You asked to Pinnacle studio installed on the computer?

  PCLECHAL is a file that is likely to be associated with Pinnacle Studio. If you have some application of Pinnacle studio on the computer and always facing the question, so I would ask you to reinstall the software.

  This file can also be infected with the virus, then you can start the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this helps. If you have any other queries/issues related to Windows, write us and we will be happy to help you further.

  Any help... Please

  Hello

  seems really strange, especially after the installation of a pc wireless card software. I can give you a suggestion:

  EVERYTHING YOU DATA BACK UP AND REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

  I think that it is the only way, because when you describe you already tried almost every thing, then a recovery is inevitable. Copy/backup your data and put the new OS on the HARD drive.

  After that, make separate accounts (for example 3 accounts) and install the card netgear with the admin account. It should work.
  Would appreciate some comments.
