  • How to connect to the computer without administrator privileges?

    Original title: question administrator

    I don't have the admin rights even if I'm the only one using the machine. I accidentally deleted the Administrator profiles, I created and the default admin was left disabled and I don't remember giving it a password.

    I can't raise any application or change the permission of my profile.
    When I try, I have the window UAC which has the "Yes" button grayed out.
    When I go to computer management > users and local groups to change the properties of the profiles I get 'access denied '.

    I tried running with the system in mode safe but still can't find a way to get the elevation or change my authorization to administrator.
    When I get to safe mode and Admin profile appears on the list and I get to click, restart the system.
    It doesn't matter if all the services.msc a services property gray buttons? Is something wrong with the services?

    I accidentally deleted the Administrator profile

    Delete the only and only the administrator account would be equivalent to throw one and only safe key you have. Here's how you can recover from this error:

    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 removed your admin account.
    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.

    I have a recovery disk and its does not work and is locked me and tried the function StickyKeys and that no longer works

    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 a keyfile and if it is common).
    • 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)

  • Unable to connect to the computer, as it requires a password

    Title: password original problem

    Using Windows 7.  Note of the screen says I have to enter a password to unlock my PC.  I've never assigned a password so that I can not start.  What can I do to use this computer?

    Using Windows 7.  Note of the screen says I have to enter a password to unlock my PC.  I've never assigned a password so that I can not start.  What can I do to use this computer?

    Someone probably set up an automatic logon process that gets Windows to remember your password at logon. These passwords are easily forgotten because they are never used. Here's what you need to do:

    1. Forcibly restart the machine by pressing the power button for 10 seconds.
    2. Log in normally.
    3. Change your screen saver so that it does not require a password.
    4. Create, test, and document an admin account to spare, even you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble. It would have saved you this time too!

    Thank you very much Forest.  I am 86 and still learning.

    Assuming that your computer is 2006 or later, following the links eventually will lead you to the following directions:


    Reformatting a hard drive should be considered a last resort to solve a problem with a computer system. The hard drive can be reformatted and reinstalled the operating system, using the system PC Suite hard disk recovery. Reformatting the hard drive will overwrite all data on the disk. To preserve the data, back up the data of the user as; letters, leaves of calculation, graphics and emails to an external storage device before you reformat the disk. If the PC does not work in the Windows operating system, see reformatting since the recovery disks .
    Do the following to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.
    1. Connect the PC to the power adapter.
    2. Close all programs.
    3. Click Start , click principally made programs , select System Restore and click on the PC recovery .
    4. When the recovery options are offered, select the option to perform the Recovery of PC and click Next .

    The PC is in original factory State and all data in the system, such as the place and the date must be reconfigured.

    NOTE: any software "trial offer" has been included in the original factory image, it will be reinstalled, but it won't work (the test period will have expired).  If so any trial software is a security antivirus software or others, before connect you to the Internet, you must uninstall (using an uninstall tool provided by the manufacturer if available antivirus software) and then install your own anti-virus software.  So, you should download the uninstallers necessary and installers (or buy the software on CD) using another machine before starting this project.

  • Help! The files do not appear on the rocket when it is connected to the computer

    I brought all my library Windows Media WMA and mp3s on my rocket using auto when I got it. For some reason, the "rocket" do not place files in the music folder or elsewhere, that I can find them when it is connected to my computer. The music folder is empty. The files appear on my rocket only when it is disconnected! It's a pain to remove things quickly. I really want to sort through hundreds of songs and remove them manually one at a time to make room for the new. Can someone please?

    I'm about to use my magical powers of intuition here.

    Look in settings/USB Mode. Auto-Detect, right? (Please limit your applause.)

    That's your problem. It detects a different USB mode for each computer.

    There are two modes USB, MSC and MTP, modified through parameters. There are also automatic detection, which goes to the PSG first, then of MSC if there is no player Windows Media on the computer.

    A computer can see a way or the other: just just the MTP or MSC.  The "rocket" sees all.

    DPW works with Windows Media Player. This is prbably that you have configured on your PC.

    MSC works as a generic flash/thumb/disc player. This is how you connect to the Mac.

    Solution: Connect to the PC and move the files of the "rocket" to the PC.  Change MSC mode and put them on the "rocket" in MSC mode.  When you connect to the Mac that they will be there. And when you connect to the computer, they will be there as well - but now you will see them in MSC mode.
