  • How can I access my user account if I receive the message, the service user profile Service has no connection. User brightness cannot be loaded.

    We have access to our user account for children, but ours is the administrative account.  We tried to access through their account, but it's not accept any administrative password possible to alow access.

    Here is the tutorial that everyone will offer you when you have this problem to logon:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215

    I have a little more to add...

    The user profile Service has not the user of the connection failed to load profile

    See if the suite you can get an admin account...

    Go to Safe Mode...

    Restart your computer > immediately and repeatedly pressing the F8 key until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Mode safe mode with networking.

    Now, while in safe mode, you perform one of the following?

    1 can connect to your account admin without the error message?
    If so, do. Then do a system restore. Choose a date when you were free to login to your account admin as your restore point.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    If the system restore does not slove the problem, then use this tutorial

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215

    2. If you are unable to log in to your account administrator in safe mode, you see another administrator next to your account?
    If so, you are lucky. This is the built-in Administrator account.
    There is, by default, no password.
    It could connect and do system restore by using the link given above.

    If the system restore is not enough, then perform the tutorial even as above:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215

    If you can't do or of what precedes, I'm afraid you will have to re - install your Vista.

  • How can I get additional user accounts get rid as I am the only person who uses my computer?

    I'm the only user on my computer, so I am also administrator.  I don't want to deal with all the extra files created between User1 and administrator.  How to become just the Administrator without additional user?

    Don't use NO Windows 7 with a single account. In Windows 7, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default, and although it is possible to allow, this process may be beyond what you feel comfortable with.
    WHEN, and not IF you have problems to access your user account, you will have considerable problems if you don't have a SINGLE account to use.
     
    You need to forget about something to do with XP and create a user with administrator privileges, account (let's call him Admin or similar) and give it a password. Keep this account for access to emergency and for elevation purposes. Then change your account to a Standard user account. (There is absolutely no need to run as administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7, Windows 7 has the function of 'right-click-Run as Administrator "when you need administrator privileges). You'll be much safer and better protected than that.
