How to deepen the administrator rights on the computer?

Original title: a little URGENT please - Windows 8 lost administrator rights

Here's the question.

I have an Asus all in one type of windows desktop PC 8. I improved this standard to professional.
There is a local user account, who somehow lost administration rights. This is obviously a problem, because I can not access several functions of the computer, including a critical application of the work.
There is no other user accounts on the pc to connect to the standard administrator account that I suppose is disable by default? As I don't see it.
After some googling, I tried a few methods to solve this, nothing helps. It seems im in a catch 22, as to solve the problem of having admin rights, I need to have administrator rights to perform the majority of bugs!
Tried to start the safe mode, to re - activate administrator privileges by pressing F8 or SHIFT F8
-no effect - pc just started normally
Tried to activate the account administrator "cmd".
-This must be done by run cmd as administrator, which I'm not currently!
Tried to add mode without fail to the startup list
-Need to be administrator to do!
I don't see any method to restore or recover to previous point
Impossible to reinstall windows as it came pre-installed with windows. I was about to add the computer to a domain so that I could make a clean image before this problem occurred
Uh, I forgot what I tried now. pulling my hair out over this. Seems nothing more I need to do, I have access to an administrator account to run needs. If I could get in safe mode somehow that seems like it would allow me to solve this problem, but I can't get into that any means.
Help, please! It is a working pc and the only app that gets used, requires administrator privileges to run. If his critics I solve this problem
Thank you!
Hi, I know I'm a little late to the party, but I found this post faced a similar problem and thought that post my findings.
I found a work around for this problem, which does not require a reinstall of Windows, but you may lose your user account.
Summary:
The problem is that in Windows 8, the administrator is inactive by default, you will have to find a way to activate it. You can activate the admin as an admin account, however. Fortunately, (on my machine anyway) it seems that you can access your hidden from the Safemode administrator account. If your first set of objectives will be as follows:
-starting in safe mode
-Log in as an administrator
-l' administrator, enable the account administrator similarly.
-Restart your machine and you as an administrator outside of safe mode (normal mode).
From here, you should be free to do what you want. Now that the admin account is active, you are allowed to type a password when prompted (by default that the password is empty). For me, however, when I tried to promote my previous user administrator account (among other things) I noticed symptoms that seem to indicate that the account ceased to exist. I went through measures to set up a new account and get it synced with my microsoft email account.
-Create a new user account
-give administrator rights
-remove my old (for some reason, hidden) account
-Sync to the top of my new user account with microsoft e-mail account.
Directions for use:
How to get admin access:
(1.) start in safe mode. You can make it easier by opening a command prompt (Start menu-> type "cmd"). And type "shutdown/r/o".
2.), your computer begins to restart, but give you a set of troubleshooting options. Choose troubleshooting->-> start of the Advanced Options settings.
3.) after reboot and enter safe mode, users of contactor by going to the start menu-> click on your user name-> and choose administrator.
4.) Windows will begin the first initialization for this account.
5.) once connected, open the command prompt, this time as a Director. (Make a right click-> Run as administrator).
6.) type "net user administrator / Active: Yes" to set the admin account as 'active'. It will now be shown outside of safe mode.
7.) restart your computer and log in as administrator again. You can now add users and to play with the permissions etc. (metro options are not available in safe mode, where the reset).
How to remove your old account of 'lost' and synchronize your new account with the microsoft account.
1.) create a new account via the control panel users. Don't forget to give you administrator rights.
(2.) to remove your lost old account by typing "net use /del" in an administrator command prompt. You need to know your old account name, good luck with this one.
3.) go into the settings of your pc: open the context menu on the right-> settings-> "change PC settings."
(4.) to go to the users-> Select 'switch to a Microsoft account» tab
I hope this helps!

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

    I am running Windows Vista 32 bit on my laptop, and I have problems with file permissions.  I'm trying to change the contents of my file in Windows32 and Vista won't let me access the files there.  I have to do this action in order to save my laptop, but he repeats to me I need administrator rights to perform this action.  I don't have a single account on my laptop, so why can't access these files?  I tried to change the preferences, but words and check boxes are always gray and I can click on them to change them.  How can I access these files?

    Hi Jason,
    Before you do a clean install, I recommend you run a SFC scan, this may fix the corrupted files (not always). Give it a try, if this doesn't help, you will need to do a repair/cleaning facility.

  • How to finish my defrag and how to lock the computer

    I have a windows xp with vista netbook.  How to make chkdsk /f to run.  How to defragment to finish.  What are the mpf files.  It says I have fragemendted

    How safe boot that.  Also, I don't have my net number of the computer.  How to download c ++ for free when I could do it before.  Also, what is

    a good setting for security.  Harry

    Unfortunately, both a chkdsk (check disk) and Defrag are high level utility that correct problems with the file system.

    most importantly, windows you cannot defragment if 1) there is no free space on the disk and 2) if the file system is dirty.

    so if you're stuck with an incomplete defragmentation, it's a serious problem.

    If, however, you have not been able to run a defragmentation because you run a check disk (chkdsk), then you're ok for now.

    to run a disk check, open windows Explorer / my computer.

    then right-click on the drive letter, select Properties, then go to the Tools tab and then to initialize the control disc function.

    by the way, don't know why you want to c ++.   Remember that you have a netbook with limited resources and not a full blown computer.  I would Setup not all that kind of public services on the small machine of high-level programming.

    Finally, you can get information on your netbook by looking at the sticker or label on it or by running a utility that gives you information on your machine.

    It is important for you to know the number of brand and model of your machine because there is a lot of information, how to, faq, patches and updates to their homesite.

  • How to make the computer to recognize that there are 2 monitors?

    I have a new hp pavilion hpe h8-1124 with AMD Radeon HD 6570 GPU.  It does not have a VGA port, so I used the adapter supplied in the box HP (DVI / VGA).  To get to two monitors, I used a VGA 2 VGA splitter 'Y '.  Both monitors turn on and show the desktop, but when I use the Windows screen resolution (7 professionals), to stretch my office, the choice of two screens are not present.  Using the button detection detects only a single monitor which is names @.  Using 'Identify' places '1' in each monitor.  When that I start with a single monitor, "detect" correctly identifies appointed monitors.

    How can I get the computer to recognize the fact that there are two different monitors?  If I can't do this, I can't do the rest of what I need to stretch the desktop on two monitors.

    Hello

    Get rid of the VGA splitter.  You have noticed it doesn't work for the Office of 'cloning', but do not stretch across two monitors.

    What are the other ports on the video card?  without doubt, DVI, HDMI, and VGA if this is correct, then one of then one of the monitors must use DVI - D or HDMI if you want to continue to use the VGA for the other monitor.
