I can't perform a restore of the system after the removal of the admin account?

Original title: admin deleted, now impossible to restore

I bought my laptop from my work for personal use and remove the admin users. When you try to download anything it gives me an error now, "the requested operation requires an elevation" when I put my user name and password. How can I solve this problem? Can't even do a restore without credentials. When I looked at the accounts, mine is the only one listed. Is there another way I can find out what is the admin account? My work told me a few options for the password, but was not really sure because they put in place so long ago.

Remove the admin account amounted to throw away the key of your safe. A better idea would have been to create and test an alternative admin account. Here's how you can recover from this disaster:

  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. Configure Windows to a point before you deleted the admin account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • Can I default to the Admin account of a SE GBA without a recovery CD

    Hi - I have a soultion ACS 1111 engine. I used it mess autour with but now need to return it for store this need to default to get rid of the admin account. A TAC engineer, told me I can do the CLI but did not say exactly how.

    Is it possible to return the unit to the default settings of the CLI or what I need to get my hands on a recovery CD? The device is running 4.1

    Thanks in advance

    DOM

    You cannot restore the default configuration in the SE of the ACS. He had to use the recovery CD to recreate the image on the device.

    When you use the recovery CD or the orders:

    Attach a DB9 RJ-45 adapter to the serial port of the console.

    Configure your communication of terminal emulation software to run with the following parameters:

    •Baud = 115200

    •DataBits = 8

    •This = N

    •Arrete = 1

    •The control = None

    •Borne = ANSI emulation type

    You cannot set the password to "setup":

    ACS_Console > set admin

    Enter the old password:

    Enter the new account name: administrator

    Enter the new password:

    Retype the new password:

    Error: password must be at least 6 characters long.

    Does not all or part of the name of the user account.

    Contains characters from three of the following four categories:

    * English uppercase (A.). Z)

    * English lowercase characters (a.. z)

    Base 10 digits (0-9 paper)

    * Non-alphanumeric (for example,!, $, #,)

    If you provide the guy new username/password current, it could reset it using these commands:

    -To set the name of the administrator of the ACS, use the command set admin:

    Set admin [administratorname]

    -To set the password of the administrator of the ACS, use the set password command.

    If this is not the case, there was also the recovery CD to reset the password.

  • Created 2 standard user accounts and now the admin account is inaccessible. How to access my administrator account?

    I have Vista Edition Home Premium.  I got the account administrator and only called 'everyday', which were both available on the Welcome screen.  I was usually you log in to the admin account for my daily use of the computer, but realized that it was a bad idea.  I created a new account, he made an admin account and called "administration".  I changed then the administrator account, I had used so far for a standard account and named it 'everyday', which makes the account would connect you to our daily use.  Finally, I created a new standard account called 'secondary' for my husband to use.

    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.

  • Trunk / normal boot - access denied message: may have to open a session using the admin account to make specified changes

    I went into safe mode to try to resolve a problem that is "slow". When I tried to goback to normal startup, I got an access denied message. "... May have to login using the admin account to make specified changes." I am the only user of the computer and administer and logged as soon as I turn on count it. What can I do now?

    Is this the message you see:

    "An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an administrator account to perform the changes specified"

    If so, I bet you have a HP printer, because there is an HP PML driver that produces this effect of nuisance. It is only a nuisance and you should still be able to make your changes of msconfig, and they should stick. However, if she is really bugging you, you can watch this:

  • Screen black on the Admin account, but not on the standard user account

    Run a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 Home ultimate. At startup, I log onto my user account. Some time later, I can access my admin account. Twice in two months after logging in to my admin account, the screen was black. The normal icons and the cursor appears. On the right side of the taskbar, the normal icons are displayed. On the left side of the taskbar, only the Start button appears. When I click on the Start button, it seems normal and programs will start when I click on them. However, the search of files and programs does not work.

    The first time that has happened for a reason system restore did not work. I guess my antivirus system work even if I had turned off temporarily. Basically, I created a new admin account and then copied the files from the old account to the new account admin.

    During the problem that I can connect and disable the account of user with no problems and everything works normally.

    I did a system restore and then I was able to access windows Explorer, but could not set the background picture, the libraries did not display correctly even if the files were there when I looked at the file of the user on the drive actually.

    It is a very confusing problem.

    RobertWeiner,

    You cannot run SFC without being Administrator utility. for which please select the control mode (go to the windows folder, search cmd.exe. you will find several results. In those, select the file showing in the folder System32 cmd. Click with the right button on the cmd file, and then select the option «run as asministrator» Then, type sfc/scannow in the cmd window. I think that now the System File Checker will work.

    don't forget, even you are in your admin account, you must click with the right button on the cmd file, then select the option «run as asministrator»

  • XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

    The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
    I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
    Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
    Thank you

    According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

    The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

    As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)

  • cannot access the files of another user with the admin account

    I'm on a computer with Windows Vista 64-bit home problems.
    I normally have the computer configured to connect automatically to a non privileged user and rarely use the admin account.
    Recently, I downloaded an update (Finally, more like a relocation to the latest version) and realized that I need the admin account to install properly for all users that UAC would make things a royal PITA with a zillion prompts.

    I quickly disconnected and logged in as admin. Then, I realized that the installation file has been stored in the "downloads" folder in my regular account.
    Worse still, I could not access this folder, or I couldn't tab of future security. All I could do was to 'change the property' to my admin account, but I really didn't block me on these issues. Even from Explorer using "run as administrator" gave me problems, although the DIR command in cmd.com would be the list of people.

    I used the "change user" function to log my account regular and checked the Security tab and saw that the "Administrators" Group had already read and checked 'total control '. Why can't access the admin account? As an admin with XP, I had free access to everything I wanted to leave that I wanted.

    What happens if I was a parent and wanted to check to make sure that my child was not software piracy or download illegal music that would get stuck with the fines because I'm his guardian? How would I go about checking his records?

    What happens if I was an employer at a small office using working groups and wanted to ensure that the employee was not downloading pornography?

    How can I use the powers of the administrator to access other files (regular) user?
    Why do I still need to ask this question? It was automatic under NT, 2000, XP and the various servers at least as high as 2003.

    I found the problem, it was ANOTHER problem with Norton Security Suite for Comcast.
    I uninstalled and did not only to release 100 GIGABYTES of space, my boot time has been cut to a quarter of the former time, and this problem has disappeared.

  • Remove the admin account, just standard account available

    Some time before, I created an administrator account and a standard account and gave both a password, then, I deleted the admin account, completely forgetting to turn the other standard account to an admin.

    Now, whenever I try to do something that is beyond the power of a standard account to, Window Vista with ask me to type a password to admin, but there is no place to type the password. The box to type in is not there!
    When I tried to turn my standard account in an admin, to create a new account, or nothing to do with an account, Vista will ask me a password that I can't provide and have no where to give to command prompt to activate the hidden admin does not work too.
    If anyone can please help me turn my standard account now to an admin! Urgent!

    Yay! It is resolved! Thank you very much! So that before I posted this, I tried to find the safe mode option, myself and the possibility to press F8 just wasn't there! Then I got stuck there... Thank you very much!

  • Parental control on the Admin account problems

    A few months ago, I created a new account on my computer for work only.  I set the parental controls on the new account and only the work account.  I got by without my computer for work then off the parental control.  Now, I'm unable to download games without him asking for a password.  I don't know what password I had used since I don't end up need it and none I've tried have worked.  So, how can I, as an administrator, disable this feature?  I have consulted the parental control and done everything I have seen/read that was recommended, but it won't allow me to change the settings on my own admin account without establishing a second admin account.  So, how can I remove this feature from the admin, only the admin?  It does not accept any next to the admin account, and even then it won't take my password.

    I work at it for a few weeks now and tried everything I can think of.  Today I spent most of the day trying to get this thing to work.

    More details on what is happening-
    -I'm going to download a game on the net while connected to my admin account
    -Everything works until the final stage when he usually asks for a general permission to my antivirus
    -A pop up appears which reads: you do not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run.  You can run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as long as the current user.
    -Click on the current user and it closes, download fault.
    -Enter a password for the administrator and it says I have a user name or password invalid.
    -Enter my username and password and it closes, download fault.

    Can someone please help with this?

    Hello KS. GAL.86,

    Is the problem with the account of the work that you had created that has activated the Parental control? You can only configure Parental controls on a standard account and not an administrator account.

    If so, then create a new account that has not activated the parental control.

    Is the issue that you are experiencing that you can not download programs as an administrator?
    What is the exact error you get when you download a program?

    It cannot have anything to do with Parental control.

    Please answer back with more details and information.

    Thank you

  • Need permission admin using the admin account

    I was doing annoyed recently how my computer asked "permission to the administrator. I have an Admin account and a guest account, but I use only the Admin account. However, whenever I do anything it requires permission. This includes the removal of files, save files, moving files, rename files, etc. Even with the files and programs.

    The feature you are referring is called User Account Control, or UAC for short. It is supposed to make your computer more secure, however, if you despise as many other people do, fortunately for you, there is a simple way to get rid of him.

    1. open start > Control Panel

    2. in the search box at top right, type in uacand select change user account control settings

    3. to turn off UAC, move the slider to never notify position. Save your settings and to provide your final confirmation. You will need to restart your PC for the changes to take effect.
