The user of the administrator is the only user native Directory, we have everyone is authenticated on our server MSAD.
  
  Thank you!!

  Thanks, but that only works if you know the current password. He asks the current password before you change it. I opened a SR and got the following.

  1 with the administration of the Console database, change the password of the user account that was used to
  Configure the Shared Services database.

  2. stop all system EMP Web applications and services, and processes.

  3. start the Configurator EPM system and under the Foundation--> of tasks, select Configure the database.

  4. on the page "Shared Services and Registry Database Configuration, select Connect to a previously configured Shared Services database.

  5. keep the existing database and the user, and then enter the new password.

  How to restore an Administrators account that was accidentally deleted before the creation of the new Administrators account?  Windows XP

  I have another account directors, but it changed right before user privileges.

  Windows Xp has a default Administrator account that are visible only in safe mode when a new admin account has been created. Cannot delete the administrator account by default no matter what you do. When you remove a user, and then you get these options on the screen:

  (a) delete files
  (b) keep the files
  (c) cancel

  If you have selected a) then the files are well and truly gone. I'm sorry. However, if you selected option b) then you will be able to see the profile in C:\Users folder.

  Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted to choose an account select administrator. Re-create the user profile.

• How can I use my admin account when I forgot my computer password?

  I was recently reading to make a password reset disk. I did it successfully. I also redesigned and strengthened my index of password to make it just something I'll remember.

  I also read that I could also connect to my laptop using my administrator account, if I forgot my password for the regular user. I don't know how to do this. The Vista Welcome screen shows my normal username when I start my computer. How to access my administrator account?

  It comes to my laptop. I'm the only one using it.

  A couple of years, I've had problems with one of the Service Packs. I had a very good help from Microsoft. One of the people helping me explained how to connect using the Admin account to display system information. I think she used the DOS prompt to change a setting. Then the Welcome screen showed the Admin account. But, if I can't log on my computer to do this, I can't do the account Admin appear on the Welcome screen. Is there another way to display the administrator account on the home screen?

  Recently, I've unlocked the Admin account hidden in my copy of Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  Currently, the account presents itself as one account of another in the normal logon window, and icons for other users.

  I would like to know if there is a way to hide the account in the logon window and only allow him to show when it is safe mode is enacted (as in Windows XP).

  Hello

  This allows try again. It is not good to use the hidden administrator account, as this is the last possible road
  a difficulty if things go really wrong. So make another ADMIN account with your password even. You
  then have two accounts administrator and any number of user accounts set up (not to mention

• Black screen when closing and activating/deactivating my admin user account - Vista Business 32 bit

  Hello

  I just formatted and reinstalled Vista Business, I noticed a slow anomaly at the start of my laptop, when my user account on my admin account (I have a black screen for 5 sec). On the contrary, my Admin on my user account, this can take up to 15 sec. During this time of waiting, I have only a black screen (no dekstop).

  1 KSOD (not sure it is) during startup, slow to start (in my case, windows logon and the user interface with 'Welcome' appeared)
  2 KSOD by logging into my account (before appearing the dekstop)
  3 KSOD when my account is closed
  4 KSOD when I change to another account, that is to say, of the user account to the account admin (KSOD for more than 15 sec)

  Programs at startup: no Autoruns, Rollback Rx, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (my graphics driver), Hitman Pro

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello Ramaflore,

  If I understand correctly, you saw this black screen problem before a format.  After format and reinstall Windows, you still see the behavior of the black screen.

  This means two things:

  1. There is a program that was previously installed and has been reinstalled and that is the cause.
  2. The hardware is at fault.

  We will perform a clean boot to remove all third-party software startup that can interfere with the normal operation of the machine:

  Now, when I turn on the computer, only accounts that I am able to connect in the Welcome screen are 'everyday' and 'secondary '.  I tried to find articles that would already be answering my question, but good solutions I've seen do not work or are not completely suitable for my situation.  I know the administrator account exists, I don't know how to connect to it.  How can I access my administrator account now?  Things like system restore and cmd / 'run as administrator' failure because I don't have privileges admin so I can't even begin to perform these tasks.

• How do I create a second account along side my only Admin account? (I have good need?)

  I am new to Vista and Windows7 and all the reading I've done, I'm horrified to discover that I would have had a secondary user account whenever I go on the Internet and perform simple tasks.  (Right)?  I want to assure you that I know how to create the new account user correctly before I end up screwing up my brand new computer.  I lost my last one to a backdoor, OB had total control of my desktop and I have fear of death that does not happen.  Even a little paranoid, you could say!  So I apologize if this is a stupid and perhaps simple question for most of you guys... but for me, I need to make sure that I saw nothing!
  In advance... Thanks for all the help!

  Hello

  Control Panel - user accounts - manage another account - then create a new account

  Make a new ADMIN with password-after it's over - REBOOT (do not just Logoff) and
  Log on to this account. Once you are sure it works at least just REBOOT again to your regular Admin
  account. Use only a new fix and test ONLY, do not use it on a regular basis. You can even make
  Another ADMIN and have a backup of your backup (I do).

  You can then create a user account of same way (same password is easy) and use it as needed. Is it more
  ensure that your other ADMIN - yes - how much depends on how and what you do, but it is a lot or a
  panacea for problems of security. Added that many, including myself, think that it's more trouble that it's worth
  to use a user account when you are the admin.

  Make sure you have antivirus and antispyware when running, Windows Firewall and also have prerequisite programs
  to help you in case of a malware attack and you should be good to go. UAC to work if you feel that you
  need for increased security and don't mind the hassle.

  Practice safe Hex is especially on the do not click on ads and do not install programs and games unless you have
  verifed the sources.

  Here's what I use and recommend:  (these are all free and there are other good ones out there programs)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
  Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

  Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).

• Only the user is a Standard user, how do I get an admin account?

  Hello

  Windows 7 Pro

  When I set up this new computer, I created the main account as a standard user. Bad move. Now when I try to make changes, I invited him UAC with an inactive "Yes" button. It is said to enter an administrator password - it is not one that I know. I'm not able to use the cmd as administrator either. I have to reinstall Windows to fix this? I tried several suggestions that I found on the web (safe mode, etc.) and nothing gets done by the UAC.

  Thank you!

  OT:

  Only the user is a Standard user,

  Sorry, I have reflected on something else when I wrote 'choice 4 '.

  First, note the comment at the top of the page I linked to:

  Theoretically if you do not have an administrator account, the built-in Administrator account should be available in safe mode (see also related articles). For any identified reason, the built-in Administrator sometimes to be unavailable in safe mode.

  So, the first thing to do is to reboot safe mode and see if the built-in Administrator account is here.  I will not delete my Admin accounts to test this situation.

  Assuming that the built-in Administrator account is NOT available in Mode safe...

  The link I gave you, the two method I (32-bit only) and method II require you to "open a command prompt at startup" and give a link for directions to do so.  If you go to this link, there is a 'Option One' which uses the installation of Win 7 disc and a 'Option 2' that tells you to use the menu of Boot Options to boot into "Safe Mode with command prompt."

  However, Safe Mode with command prompt not automatically you will get an account with computer administrator privileges, and I suspect that you will not be able to make registry changes suggested that way, despite the generally good reputation of sevenforums.com.   So, use the Windows 7 installation DVD to display the "System Recovery Options" and then select "Command Prompt" there.

  Assuming that you do not receive the built-in administrator enabled account, log in, create a new account and give administrator privileges.  If you intend to use this account for anything other answering the UAC guests, create a second administrator account, "just in case."

  Finally, open an elevated command prompt (right click > run as administrator) and use the following command to disable the built-in Administrator account:

  NET user administrator / active: No.

• How to restore my admin account corrupted? (No available backup.)

  Detailed explanation

  A few days ago I started my computer and was taken directly on repair screen windows because my computer was seemingly impossible to start. After you run the tool to repair for a few minutes, Windows told me that there was no solution, then I just restarted the computer. After that he started off very well and I thought that everything was resolved. But yesterday, after that I connected with success, my mouse and keyboard suddenly stopped responding. I used the power button to manually restart my computer. I tried to log in again, but I got the error message "user profile Service failed.

  Now, whenever I try to login, I get the message "The user profile Service failed" immediately after entering my password. I've logged the standard guest profile and tried to change the registry, according to the first method found here, administrator privileges are required to change the registry but whenever I type my admin password in the administrator privileges prompt, nothing happens (it accepts the password, but then does nothing). So it appears I can not use my admin password for administrator privileges.

  Then I booted safe mode and tried to login to my admin account. It actually allowed me to login using the admin password, but whenever I tried to click anything like 'Create an account', nothing happened. So it appears I can connect to the Safe Mode admin account, but I can't do anything on this account.

  I'm downloading 15.2 Hiren's BootCD because that this discussion leads me to believe that he might be able to copy files from my admin profile to a new profile without asking me administrator privileges. Another problem is I got lazy, so I have not backed up the files or programs in months, so I need to create a new admin account and somehow copy all my files and programs without losing them accidentally. I have a terabyte of hard drive that is over half full of games and important documents, so I can't lose the data stored in my damaged account.

  Summary

  I can't login to my admin account only because it is damaged. I can access safe mode, but I can't do anything in Mode safe (for example when I click on "Create an account" nothing happens). I can't edit the registry profile comments, or do anything that requires administrator privileges because the admin password doesn't seem to work. None of my programs or files are saved. I need a method by which I can repair my current admin account or create a new admin account and copy it on all my files and programs.

  Information System

  Windows 7 Home Premium
  64 bit
  Avast! Free antivirus (it is likely is the free version of avast! a virus slip by and corrupt my account?) I've never had any problem with avast! in the past).

  I did turn my PC of house built for almost two years now without any major problems. It is pretty quiet most of the time, but I noticed some hum slightly stronger and clicking while starting from the beginning of these problems. There again, I could just be imagine. I can post the exact hardware specs if anyone thinks that profile corruption could be caused by a hardware problem. When I have time I'll pop the case open and see if I can see obvious internal damage.

  Hello

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk

  Hi kuentin,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

  When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

  There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

  (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

  (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

  (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

  (5) what software are you trying to install or open?
