How to restore user account missing when the connection after that power outage occurred?

Windows XP Media Center edition PC was carried out at the time of the power failure, which lasted about 2 hours.  When turned back on, it was missing the user account on the XP login screen.  However, after logging another user, all the files seem to be present, but the system restore will return to another point, and the same username cannot be recreated (it says it is already used).  How can the user be restored?  Thank you!

I fixed it!  I copied a solution to another user in the forum:

1. click on the Start button.
2. go to control panel and choose switch to Classic view (if not to this point of view).
3. double-click on Administrative Tools.
4. double-click on computer management.
5. on the left, click area to expand local users and groups.

6. click on groups.

7 double-click on administrators.

8. click the Add button to add the user missing to the list.

It restored the user to the logon screen.

  • User account deleted when I uninstalled Office 2010 Beta, how do I get it back?

    Details:

    • I am using Windows XP Pro SP3
    • I had already installed MS Office 2010 Beta. When I went to use it recently, I learned the period Beta was over and I was given two options: 1) buy Office 2010 or 2) uninstall. I chose to uninstall. When I restarted the computer after uninstalling, my user account has been deleted.
    • Fortunately, I had an another user account with administrative access, but it is never/rarely used, so when I opened this account is like watching a new computer desk. I see again all my files on the C drive of the other account, but they are all read only files.

    Hello

    It could be that the user account registry key is deleted which is instructed to show the user account name in the login screen. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Step 1:

    I suggest to do a restore of the system on the computer and check if you are able to see the user account.

    Step 2:

  • Howw can I use extensions I have installed as the admin for a standard user account? When I go on my Add ons under the standard user, no script is not an option. Thank you

    Hi, I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.6. I installed some popular addons such as no script and the web page of the trust for the admin account, but when I connect under the standard account with fewer rights, I do not have them available. The only way I can get to run is to right click and run as administrator which defeats the purpose to log on as a standard user. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Set the "parameters of same.

    If you want that the user has administrator privileges, then all you need to do is to add the user to the group "Administrators".  To do this, right-click on 'My computer', select 'Manage' and open the "local users and groups" section.  Click on 'Groups', double click on "Administrators" and add the user to the administrator group.

    If you set 'settings' and things like wallpaper and other preferences, there isn't a way to do that easily other than to simply set these parameters.

    Hope this helps,

    Something must have corrupted these accounts.

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk
    Mode has no default password (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

    Other methods:

    Use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK then go back
    and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times. Do the same for others
    accounts that may be difficult. If necessary you can also reset your password in the accounts.
    Do not forget to leave your Admin account and the other to the desired level.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!
