How to restore the root permission administrator account

on a test lab, a host ESX 4, I accidentally changed permission to the root account to the Administrator role to the role of read-only on one of the virtual machines.  This is why, when I connect to the host as root via vSphere Client, I have read-only access to one of the virtual machines.  What is the best way to fix that and go back to the root to have the role of administrator?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Moved to the Security Forum.

You must log in as root on the ESX or ESXi console and modify the /etc/vmware/hostd/authorizations.xml and the ACEDataRoleID to-1 instead of what it is.

    How to restore the default permission settings in Vista

    I had problems sharing files and went to different media pages, mainly integrated ones. I changed the user permissions and tried to add the user on the Security tab, but I must have done something wrong. 128-bit encryption seems to be lost. Maybe it's that everything that triggers this file was transformed into a "read only" file (which has happened to another file, I've tried to share). Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello

    To reset security settings back to default, take a look at the following article:

    I'm sorry. Sync is not really designed as a backup media that you were trying to use to. It is not intended to be a 'cloud' storage. Its purpose is to keep Firefox bookmarks synchronized between several Firefox installations or profiles – so all your bookmarks are the same on each device / profile.

  • How to restore default settings for administrator permissions?

    On my laptop, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with all Service Packs, and recommended updates.
    I messed up inadvertently administrator permissions so that I can't access, move, or delete certain folders / files.  Please - how to restore the default permissions?

    There is no way to do it automatically. Restore the system to a point before that the amendments may help.

    This article gives advice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

    If you can open a command prompt (see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-questions ), you may be able to use the Takeown command and icalcs to set the permissions to the usable values.

    You may need to compare the permissions on a system that works. The Sysinternals AccessChk and AccessEnum utilities can be useful.

  • I got 3 accounts, two were administrator accounts and a regular user account. Now, I find that both my administrator accounts have become odinary leaving me without any user accounts administrator account. How can I now get an administrator account?

    I don't remember doing anything that could have caused this problem.

    Enable the built-in Administrator account log in, make your changes to user accounts, search for malware to be proactive.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    First try a system restore to when things worked. If this fixes things, very well. If this is not the case, try to start in Safe Mode, because the normally disabled built-in Administrator account can be activated if no other administrative user is available on the system. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the diagnostic menu where you can use your arrow key to select Mode without failure. If the built-in administrator is enabled, you will see an icon for it on the Welcome screen.

    If the above does not work:

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

    Remove the installation DVD and reboot the system in normal Mode. You will see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen. If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair the system Windows Vista (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. If this isn't the case, you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    After net user, remove the bootable CD and restart the computer. You will now see an icon for administrator on the Welcome screen. Connect to this account. After getting things sorted, disable the administrator built-in yet for security reasons * after * creation of a user and administrative per the recommendations below.

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  • How to restore the old user profile

    I wanted to access some downloaded files that was stored in a temp folder. I did have access to this folder so I changed my folder option to be able to view hidden directories and files. He said that I had to be an administrator to do and I said OK. He then proceeds to change the attributes on thousands of files. In the end, I got is more access to my file and the original files, I became a new person, so to speak. I can manually view my old records, but I want to restore my old user profile, because this new profile is created a lot of problems with previously installed programs. I have two NTUSER. DAT files in my user C:\User\John folder. The dates are when the computer has been initially implemented 16/08/2012 and when the profile changes yesterday 07/02/2013.

    Thanks for choosing Windows and thank you for providing an opportunity to help you.

    According to the description, you have problems with the restoration of the old user profile.

    1 have been connected as a standard user?

    This problem can occur because of corruption of the user profile.

    Method 1: delete the new NTUSER. DAT folder and check if it helps.

    Method 2: Perform the System Restore to an earlier date and check if it helps.

    1. how to restore the Mail app?

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot-~ 5 minutes...
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to restore the default version device software?

    Hi, I just update my software for device to BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.477 (EastAsia) BBB that OPTUS. But its totally different with the default version. I can't use Internet via Blackberry web browser using hotspot. It think there should be a lot of wifi and the application of 'download' and 'Instant Messaging' folder are lost! with the default version, when the first time I turn on the handset, there's MSN Messenger, Facebook, Myspace... etc in the folder "Download". Also I can't put more, my "Enterprise activation" required e-mail account, but I just that at the first time I've set up the handset, can I set up mail account everything I love. I'm not a business user. Anyone know how to restore the default device software version? If I can't restore back, anyone knows what version of the device software is better?  or how to fix this?

    BTW: I got my BBB a year ago. This is the first time I try to update the device software.

    Thank you very much!!

    BIS = BlackBerry Internet Service. Here is the OPTUS BIS site

    https://bis.AP.BlackBerry.com/HTML?brand=Optus

    See if you are able to connect to it and try what I suggested. What version of the software do you have on the camera before? You could try downgrading to this version. Different carriers have different versions of the OS, so I can't say what that yours was before the update.
