I can't get on my computer as an administrator. He asks me a password which has been never implemented. My winows user account has never been password protected. I am trying to transfer my files and photos

My windows user account is not allowing me to log in. He asks a password that has never served on this user account. This account is the administrator and I am unable to exercise the functions of don't. I'm looking to reset the password for this user account. There is no other directors on this computer

This is often caused by malware infection, then when you get home it would be wise to do a scan.

You can change your password to something you remember (or use a white) another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

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 [press Enter]
NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

[Note: do not enter the brackets!]

Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

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 Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair 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 as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

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.

If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • iertutil.dll was not found after trying to download internet explorer 8. I can't get into my computer. Not even the start screen.

    I can't get into my computer.  All I can get is the Task Manager.  It shows all my still intact material, I'm not him.  Not even to my home screen.  All that appears is my screensaver and a message saying to re - install iertutil. DLL... but how to do when I can't.

    Maybe someday, we will see again the proposal to:

    Once you open the Task Manager try the commands below.

    1. in the Task Manager, click file, and then click new task

    2. now type rstrui.exe and click OK

    This would launch the system restore on the computer refer the below Microsoft article more about the restoration of the system.

    If you really try , you would find that it does not work because rstrui.exe is unlikely that never will be in the PATH statement.

    If you want to launch the restoration of the system from the Task Manager, you will need to perform a new task like this:

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    If c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll is missing, you will see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component

    The application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

    Because explorer.exe is not running, you will see only your background image /, but Ctrl-Alt-Delete will always bring up the Task Manager where you can maneuver around and replace the file.

    If the only problem with your system, it's that iertutil.dll is missing, you can replace the backup copy in the dllcache folder.  You can continue to obtain reviews iertutil.dll is absent, but just click OK for messages of recall as they pop up so you can continue working.

    One might think that you use the Task Manager, you can browse c:\windows\system32\dllcache and (after choosing to view all files) copy the iertutil.dll from there and then paste the iertutil.dll file in c:\windows\system32 where it belongs.  That actually works, but it seems that it does not work as you will get an hour glass stuck on the paste operation and perhaps wonder whether or not it has actually worked.

    To feel better replace the missing file, so you can actually see the file being copied and replaced... Task Manager, click file, new task and enter in the box (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and first make a copy of the original file (if it exists) by entering the following command:

    copy c:\windows\system32\iertutil.old c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll

    That copies the file in progress if there is an and it will just complain if it is not a copy.

    We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Knowing this, copy the backup copy of the missing file and replace the missing or suspicious file by using this command:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\iertutil.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    Who will replace the missing or suspicious file and if that's all that's wrong with the system, Shut Down box Task Manager, you can choose to reboot your system and see how things are going.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Hi Captive,


    Method 1:

    I suggest you to check if temporarily uninstall the antivirus software on the computer Windows XP allows you to connect properly.

    But don't forget to install the software after troubleshooting is done such that your computer will be at risk.

    Method 2:
    You can also check the settings of firewall on the windows XP computer. You can check if the ports are opened correctly for the network to connect. See the help link - below
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/283673

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, you can even perform the clean boot on the Windows XP computer and check if you can identify the application that is causing problems in the clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1, mentioned in the article, below, and then try again checking in this state of boot -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the issue is resolved check what non-Microsoft service or program is at the origin of the problem. referring to article and following the other steps.
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    I hope this helps.

  • Easy Transfer Wizard error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings. The download file size is 40 GB and I have a C: drive that says he has 280 GB free and a D: drive has 298 GB free.

    I made a successful backup of the Easy Transfer of files on an external hard drive.  Previously, this computer was in Vista for more than 1 year without any problem.

    After you perform a custom installation (I wanted to start with a clean install) of Win7, everything works.  I installed the Windows/Office updates and all my other program files.  When I run the transfer Assistant, it locates the 'old computer' transfer file and reads OK, showing users and the size of the 40.1 GB file transfer.  When I click the button forward, I get error: there is not enough available disk space to transfer your files and settings.  However, I have more than 280 GB free on my C: drive.

    This disc is watching him and what should I do to work around this problem.  If I can't get my files/settings back, I'll be VERY unhappy customer.

    Thanks for posting back.

    If you have successfully transferred your files and they are stored in a location on the hard disk, that is, in a folder or drive on your computer, they will remain on your computer, regardless of any number of reboots.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem persists, please post back for assistance.

    Trying to transfer a file of bytea in a field of database Postgresql (on Orchestrator SQL instance) for storing files on the Orchestrator.
