I am administrator but am getting denied access to anything that requires an administrator account

Hello. I was change the permissions of users to some other accounts, and the only thing I can think is that I accidentally changed the permissions of the administrator account. I can no longer anything that requires access privileges and that you do not have any idea what to do to reinstall windows.
Thank you

Your case might fall into two scenarios: either you are not able to log - on the administrative account at all or the other case would be that you are able to log-in on your administrator account, but when you try to access any file using this administrator account, and then you are given the message 'access denied '. Don't worry, if yours is the second case, you would be able to access all your files similar both before reinstalling Windows.

If the first case is true where you cannot connect to one of your account administrator, then you need to reinstall windows from scratch.

If the latter is true, when you are able to log-in to your administrator account, but you are denied permission to access this item, you can consult this section to take control of your PC files:

1.) move to the location where your files are stored on your PC that you are given the messsage like "Access Denied" year select any file folder orr.

2.) now, when right click that file, select Properties , then go to the Security tab, and then click the Advanced button in the bottom - another windows will open with all the top labels.

3.) first, click on -> Permissions tab click on continue (if permission is requested, then click continue)-> pass to add-> Advanced-> click on search now-> select your administrator username in the drop-down list & then click OK twice.

4.) another window opens. Click the Allow button (for all) and click OK twice.

5.) then click on the owner tab and clicking on Edit tab change the owner of "XYZ" (-is your name account with administrative rights)-> click OK twice (or three times) to move close all the properties.

You would now be able to access files and folders FRO who were denied you permission before.

I hope that this satisfied your request!

Kind regards

  • Account administrator time full restrictions applied to it, can't do anything that requires administrator, even know the password

    Hello

    I currently have two user accounts on my PC. They both used to be administrator accounts, and to make a long story short, he ended it with an account that has administrator access, but that the account has been completely time limited by parental controls. The other account is a Standard user account that is incapable of doing anything that requires access administrator because of time restrictions...

    It gives me the message "logon failure: violation of account logon time restriction.
    I'm at a loss what to try then, seeing as how I can't install applications to fix and can't change anything without Adminstrative Priveleges.

    Thanks for any help,
    Nick

    Hello

    If you cannot disable the parental control using administrator accounts, if possible, try to create a new account and check if you can or not. If you can not always, unfortunately you will need to back up your files on an external and reinstall Windows.

  • my user account is 'administrator', but am still denied access to the file I want to access.

  • Can't install or uninstall anything that requires administrator-level access in Windows 7

    I searched for hours here looking for information on how to correct this problem and have not found a description of the problem that matches mine.  If the answer is already here, please forgive my lack of the needle in a haystack and point me in the right direction.  The operating system in question is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

    First of all, the troubled computer is not mine.  It belongs to a friend.  (Norton) antivirus protection has expired some time ago and they now no protection.  I would like to uninstall this program and install a new program of antivirus protection for them.  When I Spear 'uninstall' it in program folder tells me that I have Admin Access.  The account I use is the only account never implemented and the admin account.  There is no password admin, and there is no password for the account.  I know... There are SEVERAL rules of common sense here that were broken, and I'm trying to fix all the.
    I have tried to create a new administrator account using the User Manager and have the same problem.  I saw a suggestion about the click with the right button on the choice of the menu and choosing "run as Administrator".  I have not tried yet since I'm not near the computer at this time.  I'll try to make it tonight.  Even if it works... I am always faced with the same problem of having to reactivate somehow the rights of Directors in general.
    I saw elsewhere deliver once before and ended up reloading the system.  It was riddled with viruses.  I hope that I am not against this situation.
    Thanks to the community in advance for your efforts to help me solve this puzzle and research!

    This is the only account that has ever existed and the User Manager identifies it as an administrator account.  I suspect that this account has lost its privileges admin somehow, be it corruption of any nature or virus.

    You run a show at high risk, while having one single administrator account. It's like having a key for your car. A glitch is all that it takes to create a big problem, but it is so easy to create a second admin account.

    Find it me difficult to reconcile some of the apparently contradictory statements in your report. If it was my machine, then I would do this:

    1 disable UAC
    2. restart the computer when you are prompted.
    3. click on start.
    4. type the three letters cmd in the search box and press enter
    5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    NET user 'Jack' xxyyzz / add
    (to create a new account named Jack with a password of xxyyzz)
    net localgroup administrators/add ' Jack'
    (to promote the account of Jack at the Admin level)
    net users
    (to see a list of all existing accounts)
    6. turn on UAC.
    7 restart and log in as Jack.
    8. check if you still have problems.
    9. If they, restart in Mode safe and check things once more.

  • I can not access my administrator account.

    I created two accounts on my computer an os win xp, administrator of one and the other. My computer does not show me the two accounts on the login screen so I get no option to connect to my administrator account. It automatically goes on the second account. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    Under normal circumstances XP Home does not have the single account defined to be anything other than an administrator account. If she did, then you might get caught in a situation that requires an administrative account to rectify but do not have a.

    If you need an account to access for some reason, you'll be...

    Create another administrator account, after which you can change "Mr. Hernu" to limited

    ... or...

    Create another account limited

    On behalf of Mr. Haroon (or any other administrative account) must be able to all the administrative tasks, including adding or remove programs.

    I hope that clarifies your situation.

    For your information, there is an administrator account in XP Home called Administrator, but it is only accessible by starting in safe mode. I wouldn't recommend using this account for anything other than to emergency situations.

    In regards to your problem of disk space, 20 GB is virtually nothing these days. I'm not surprised that you run lack of space. Will help to run Disk Cleanup (start - all programs-Accessories System Tools), but that might only postpone the need for a bigger hard drive.

    Please follow my previous advice (I added to edit) about the issues you are experiencing deletion of programs.

  • I accidentally deleted the administrator account while trying to get rid of administrator privileges - HELP!

    I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges for that when I'm on another user account he don't ask me the password, or install all the files that I had the intention of this account to the administrator account. I used the command net user administrator / active: No.

    I'm not quite sure if I completely deleted the account or hidden in some way, but now whenever I try to do anything that requires the administrator password (almost everything) I don't even have an opportunity to choose Yes to enter and only the no option I can't change any settings on the computer at all by using a user account This being via CommandPrompt, Panel etc. I'm at a complete loss as what to do.

    (Also, if someone was uncertain, the account Administrator is not visible on the screen to connect.)

    I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges

    -> Order net user administrator / active: No. will do exactly what it says: it allows to disable the administrator account. That is to throw the main key to the safe. Here's how you can reverse this reckless action:
    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the administrator account.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, even you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    Note of the moderator; subject published

    Resolved without a full installation. Thanks to a bad other sole on this forum.

    I searched through the pages of research and the most common problem was with Lenovo PC or some applications, to say that Lenovo have such a small market share, but so many problems is really boring. a search of Yahoo drew back me on this forum, uninstall Veriface has solved the problem, which is a shame because I really liked the face recognition as the laptop is used by the whole family.

    So far Lenovo have not impressed me-Wireless N is almost a fraudulent claim, low autonomy, constant nitpicking like this just resolved, only real support is that this society support forum is crap. Touchpad is also evil.

    An offcast from IBM which I rate highly is poor.

    In any case, I hope this helps others out there.
