How can I get back Admin rights no one has them on the computer?

How can I get back Admin rights no one has them on the computer

IIRC, you cannot delete the built-in account named 'Administrator', so check first to see if it's really over:

If you have XP Pro, then press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice at the Welcome screen

If you have XP Home (or XP Pro), restart mode without fail (repeatedly press F8 startup just after reboot) and the administrator account must be indicated on the Welcome screen.

Unless you have changed it, the password for the built-in Administrator account is blank (no password).

Once you sign in as an administrator, go to control panel > users and create a new account with administrative privileges (or give these rights to an account existing).  Do not use the built-in for common daily tasks administrator account.

  • How can I get my admin right back on windows 8?

    Sorry for just jump but I also had a similar situation. I tried to fix my Norton security and one of the options that he has been to change the settings of the user account and I finished my account 'Administrator' to 'Standard' user switching. Now, I have no administrative rights. I tried to put it back, but I was unable to because a pop-up appears asking you to admin password to be able to continue, but the question is does not provide a space for the password and only 'no' is the option. Can you guys help out me? It is also the only account on my laptop. I tried the command prompt thing, but it did not work for semi-bas says access denied error 5 or something like that. This option also appears differently for me compared to the tutorial that I saw on another forum. The tutorial showed that the command prompt will say (something like), while mine says c: and when I try the whole "net user administrator / Active: Yes" it says access denied error 5! I really appreciate if you guys can help me!

    Let me know if you need more information, I'm not the most knowledgeable about computer terms or procedures but I'll try my best to provide the appropriate information required!

    I'm afraid that's all I can think of.  The built-in Administrator account is supposed to activate during Safe Mode if there is no other (other than the built-in) administrator-level accounts, but perhaps it has been corrupted or deleted.

    At this point, the only thing I can really think to do is to reinstall your operating system from the system CD or recovery if the manufacturer included a restore partition.

    I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?

    The email you see in sent items. Is - this mail you thought you deleted a long time ago? If so, it almost sounds like you had an old identity.

    File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one list? If Yes, go to the other identity. If not, read on...

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery tools:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

    And see:

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

    The main module controls develop disappeared from the window to develop.  How can I get back them?  I work with Lightroom 5.3.  The missing controls are the sliders for exposure, clarity, contrast, etc.  I must have inadvertently clicked on something that made them disappear, but nothing I tried back them.  I've never had this experience over the years that I've been using Lightroom (since version 1.1).

    Right-click on any other element curve tone e.g., and tick on 'Basic' if that is what you are missing.

    Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
    everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
    try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
    like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

    If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
    back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
    (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
    Two other points/questions:

    1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
    approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
    work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

    2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
    photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
    the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:
