• How to get back to the user account administrator privileges?

  Original title: lost the privileges on the computer at home. How ca I get it back?

  I am the only user on my home computer, using Windows 7 Professional. When you turn on the computer, always offered welcome my administrator screen and waited for a response and normal user accounts before continuing. Rarely need to log on as an administrator and have to go back to the computer just to press a button before it continued its long initialization has been frustrating. Want to remove the log on option user I did it via the Control Panel [don't know how, now!] so now I can turn it on and let it start in his own good time without further interaction from me, which is great.

  What is not big, is that I lost all administrator privileges, then any time the area UAC appears asking if I want to continue with the program and I need to answer YES, it won't let me as the Yes box is grayed out.

  The management of the computer control panel, I can get local users where I can see that my backup Administrator account is disabled. If I click on the box to reactivate the account, access is denied, so I can not turn on the account.

  Help, please!  I would really think my administrator account to return once again, without having to turn off every time.

  Thank you for your expertise in advance.

  That is right. CANNOT delete the built-in Administrator account.

  The standard security practice is to rename the built-in Administrator
  account, set a password that is strong on it and use it only to create another
  accounts for regular use, reserving the administrator as a back account «»
  the door' in case something corrupts your account regularly.

  Hello

  Make a NEW ADMIN account with your password even to use to test and correct with right now. He is a 3rd account
  who will not normally be used or contain actual data. Always keep an unused ADMIN to test and difficulty as
  necessary. (This is not compulsory but is very careful to do.) This account can be the one that you use to migrate
  the data you want to keep his account to your own.

  Simply copy the files you want to keep the account you want to use.

  If you really want to get inside this method fully and pretend that his account is the corruption and yours
  is the new (don't forget your account is already created and do not delete all the data in it).

  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 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 such a key file).
  • 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)
  After solving this problem, plan in advance and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare House key.

• User account control gives comments administrator privileges?

  I am under W7 Home Edition with the guest account disabled. Yet, whenever I try to do something that requires administrator privileges the UAC window opens for a guest or administrator password. I don't even know if there is a password for the comments, but I certainly not invited to have access to administrator functions.

  Then open a command window: -.

  1. type Net user to display the list of the user accounts on your PC in order to verify there is no accounts that are unauthorized.

  2. type comments Net user to see the properties of the guest account.  Halfway, there is an entry account active - you have written, it should have the entry No..   Near the bottom, there is a local group memberships entry that should say only invited.  If it shows also the directors then someone made some changes sneaky seriously on your PC.

  3 if there are unknown accounts so that you can use the same procedure to check their properties.

  4. If you want to keep a record of the information and then add a space at the end of the commands and type in

  etc to create a text file of each result set on your desktop.

  for example

• Windows 7 Admin account does not have administrator privileges?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm having a very strange problem here. Everything I do on my computer needs now administrative privileges, otherwise it will not work properly. I'm unable to open iTunes without them because it says that it cannot access the program folder, but if I open it with privileges, it works perfectly. Whenever I try to pin a program to the taskbar, clicking on the "Pin to taskbar" button does nothing. Again right click on the shortcut and select Pin to Taskbar does not work. I can't download any type of files on Google Chrome; nothing happens when I try to record anything.  Chrome is also impossible to record all new cookies as well, and I am also unable to watch Netflix instant Streaming due to a Silverlight issue. Flash work, however.  Whenever I try to delete all files, or move files, in my "Documents" folder, he said: "you have to give administrator privileges... blah blah blah." It worked perfectly when I got the computer, but it seemed just not to work a few weeks ago.

  
  I have no idea of reversing what is happening on any any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Simply raise the line of command manually. Go to start / all programs/accessories. Locate the "Command prompt" shortcut, right-click on this shortcut and select the "Run as Administrator" option.

  Somewhere in this book, changes in the way of work user accounts is explained. The most notable change is that when you run with an administrator account, you run with standard user privileges. You must explicitly raise a process to obtain Administrator privileges.

• How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

  OT: Without administrator rights.

  I don't have my active administrator account.

  I had a user account that I removed myself from the group administrator.

  Now I'm locked to do anything.

  I can't assign me to the admin group, I can't allow the user to administrator, I can't edit some files or delete some software...

  I tried cmd but get access denied when you try to activate the administrator account. It does not help if I open CMD or anything else with administrator privileges.

  I can't open the recovery mode, tried to start in safe mode and all the rest.

  How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

  I had a user account, which I removed myself from the group administrator.

  -> This is called "paint yourself in a corner.

  I tried cmd but get access denied when you try to activate the administrator account. It does not help if I open CMD or anything else with administrator privileges.

  -> Is normal. Either you are an administrator, or you're not.

  How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

  -> Ask a friend to burn a CD repair system for you (Control Panel / backup and restore). Now to use this CD to start the machine in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to a point before you downgrade your one and only the admin account.

  When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• How can I disable administrative privileges on all files in windows 7

  Every time I change laptops, do a reboot of the system or any work on a file, I get locked out my files

  Hi James,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I see from the description of the problem, you want to know how to disable the administrator privileges on all files.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  To resolve the issue with deactivation of administrator privileges, I need more information:
  1. what exactly mean you by "I get locked out of my files?
  2. are you logged in as a standard user or administrator?
  3. are you referring to the administrator user ID and quick Email?

  If you are referring to the administrator user ID and quick Email, try the following steps and check if it helps.
  
  (a) open user account control settings by clicking on Start button.
  (b) then click on Panel.
  (c) in the Search box, type uac, and then click on change User Account Control settings.
  (d) drag the bar of never notify.

  Note: You will not be notified until changes are made to your computer. If logged in as an administrator, programs can make changes to your computer you know on the subject.

  Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.
