  • I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, now I can't login as administrator

    I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, as I had 2 accounts of users, two administrator accounts. Now I can't login as administrator. I can't find the administrator and any other accounts show that when I try to switch users.

    If you have seen that the users you listed: that's all nothing.  If your account was listed as an administrator, then it is what it is.  It does not change when you restart the system.  ;-)

    Initially, you said that you have CHANGED your limited user account:

    I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, as I had 2 accounts of users, two administrator accounts.

    Given that, you didn't have and still two active accounts.  If your account is displayed in Mode safe (when you connect as built-in administrator) as an administrative level account - it still is.

    Was able to go in the control group/user accounts. He was the administrator, my account administrator and one guest account haven't turned on do not.

    Information about Windows XP HOME Edition and the built-in Administrator account:

    (... and how you can make it visible in normal mode again - the reason for which it automatically logs in has two components.  (1) you have no password on 'your account' and 2) you have two directors and so integrated is hidden).

    Try this (in normal mode).

  • How to change I forgot the administrator password in windows 7 without a reset disk

    Hi This is prakash

    I use windows 7 ultimate service pack 1 and I am the administrator

    I forgot my login password.

    I saw a viedo how to reset lost windows password but its not working not it is like this

    (copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

    c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

    Please help me

    I use windows 7 ultimate service pack 1 and I am the administrator

    I forgot my login password.

    There are many 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)
    • Ask your friendly computer dealer to reset the password for you

    The method with sethc.exe works also, but it is complex and requires several additional steps. Carefully pass by with each of them?

    Hi LannX,

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

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

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • How can I change the standard account on behalf of Administrator without administrator privileges?

    Original title: uac is restricting my access Add or change account

    My uac has no opition for Yes just not how to change my standard account to administrator account

    and how would I do that I deleted my hidden administrator account and my off my guest account so if I didn't change anything, I have to be an administrator if he allows me to have Yes tab revealed to a click...

    When you say that you moved your hidden administrator account, are you talking about the account named "Administrator"? Since it is a built-in account, Windows won't let you remove it.

    If you are referring to your own admin account then removing would be to throw out your safe master key. I can't quite work on how you could do that, but you can get it from this reckless action 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 did what you did.
    8. Plan ahead a little and 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.

  • You cannot change the account Type

    Hello:

    When displaying 'Select your new account type' I see the photo that I have assigned and to the right of the image, I see my log in name and under my name, I see "administrator."

    Standard user is the default bullet selected with the administrator being available option.  However, when I place the ball in the ball of the administrator below "change account Type" becomes gray.

    I won't be a standard user with standard user rights.  It comes to my computer at home and no one else is using the computer or lives with me.  So, my question is the following:

    What I do to activate the Administrator option?  And when I put the ball in the Administrator option I will then be able to "Change account Type".

    This computer and my laptop are both running the same operating system: Windows 7 Professional

    Your support and your help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Eric

    Hi again:

    I am not connected as a Standard user.  I am logged in as administrator.

    That's what I told you at the beginning: you ARE connected under an administrator account, so you can not change your account type "Administrator".

    If you are unable to perform certain tasks, then this is because of the restrictions of UAC (User Account Control). Click Start, click Help, and then search for help on UAC. You can disable it if you want, at your own risk.

    P.S. Please do not change your past jobs as this would result in a very confusing thread.
