How to log out of a guest for an administrator account account?

Hello

I let my friend use my laptop yesterday and logged in as 'guest '.  When I logged in this morning, I am unable to access as the main user (Administrator) and do not have any idea how the settings so that I appear when I connect as opposed to the screen "invited".  Please can someone help me.

Thank you very much.

Wendie

PS I'm a true techno phobe so please send all the instructions in the "non-tech" language.   Thank you!

Original title: Principal user access

If you are connected as a guest, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the start menu (the ORB circular at the bottom left of the screen in the taskbar.
  2. Eye of the option where you see "Shutdown" button, there is a small arrow pointing to the right.  Click on it.
  3. A menu appears with an option 'disconnect '.  After that, you would see the list of users on the computer.  Select the administrator account.

I hope this helps.  I have attached the image for better understanding.

    I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk.  AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

  • How can I copy the user created in the administrator account?

    Hello

    I would like to ask what can I do? When I installed Vista Home Premium on my computer, I created another user account! I have configured my PC how I like it! With all the parameters that I need (research, programs, etc...) I don't want 2 user account, but I can't remove the administrator one! (Now, it's empty, nothing about this)

    So, how can I copy all my settings, remove the user and a user account?

    I hope I was understandable! :)

    Good day!

    Hi Muzsika,

    I don't know what you mean, so I'll just say what I think is your problem, and then respond.

    Problem: I have a standard account I have all my files in and have customized this account. I have an administrator account that I don't use. Because I can't remove the administrator account, I would copy the standard account for the administrator account and remove the standard account.

    The answer is: change the standard account to an administrator. account, and then delete the other admin account.
    How to change an account type to administrator: (necessarily using the account admin.)
    1. Open a user account by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, click user accounts, and then clicking on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. Click on the standard account and then click on change the account type.

    3. Select the type of account you want, and then click on change the account Type.

  • How to find the password for the administrator account (forgot it and don't know the trick)

    I recently got a new labtop and there was already an admin account and a guest won't be able to access admin one I used the prompt, its my labtop but the person known not more because it is a gift, so is it every way possible to clear all the stuff off this or just be able to access the administrator account

    The laptop has the option to restore to day? Some come with a disk partition to do that, while others came with BONES and CD drivers (or the ability to create).

    If it came from someone else, it's always a good idea to wipe it and start over anyway; not sure what this person was in, or what are the sites he visits. Would not be a good day for you if the black helicopters landed in your front yard to cause something that accesses the internet of this laptop without realizing you it :-(

  • Don't know the name or the password for the administrator account

    'Useful' for my internet service technical advisor has created a new administrator account for my non-it network. I don't know the name of the administrator account or the password and am accessing the computer via a guest account. However, because the guest is not the administrator I can't upgrade or changes to the operating system. How can I find the information needed/creat a new administrator/do prompt the administrator? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS. It seems that I can't do a clean install.

    This new admin account that technology has created for you could be the built-in Administrator account.
    It is, by default, has no password.

    Try to connect to it by clicking on this account > Inbox password by pressing the Enter key.

    If this does not work and you can ONLY log on to your computer to the guest account, so you don't have any hope of creating a new admin account, activate account built-in Administrator, or you can use the cmd to this effect.

    Remind your internet service, tell them what the 'useful' technician had done before and ask them to help, such as...

    1. create new admin with a password that you can remember.

    2 delete the one that you do not have the password.

    If this cannot be done, the only suggestion that we offer is to re - install Vista.

    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 such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created an index and it is up-to-date)

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    You are unable to log in with the administrator password.

    You can reset the password with a password reset disk.

  • How do I open a session with the local administrator account in Windows 8

    Hello

    About two weeks ago, I bought my laptop Dell Inspiron 15 inch 7000 Series that pre-installed with Win8 Japanese worm.

    Tried to download the Win8.1 from the store to Win, but asked me to identify a user with administrative privileges.

    When I booted up my laptop, it only prompted me to my Windows account (created this account I've first turning on my laptop).

    How can I change to log to the local administrator account when starting my laptop?

  • option to Editor local group policy for the administrator account on Windows 7

    I have an administrator account I want to restrict in some respects. I know that this can be done via local group policy. So, I need:

    1. Installation of new programs require an admin password.

    2. Some programs (that I choose) run without admin password.

    3. Held together under one account, without comments, accounts of users or lower privileges.

    No idea how to do it?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you had to restrict access to some programs using the local Group Policy Editor. The Local Group Policy Editor is a snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that provides a single user interface through which all the settings of local Group Policy objects can be managed.

    I suggest you to return the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  • I forgot my password for the administrator account in Windows 7

    I need to find my passwod administator can someone help me please

    * original title - I forgot my administrator password and I get nowhere *.

    Comment of "No Mo" is grammatically correct, it won't you anywhere with your current problem or the other. Maybe one of these options will solve your problem:

    • Restart the computer with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if the problem occurred recently).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.
