• My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and she did not save what we can and there are only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

  My wife is the administrator user and she forgot her password and it does not back up and there is only standard users on this PC, what can we do?

  If your wife was using his account with "computer administrator" privileges, and then use the built-in account named "Administrator".

  By default, the built-in account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password.  If you have XP Pro, you can access the administrator account (with no other connected users) Welcome screen by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice to bring up the "classic" logon window  Enter the administrator user and leave the password empty box.

  In XP Pro or XP Home, you can access the administrator account by restarting mode without fail (repeatedly press F8 to leave immediately after the computer starts / restarts; if you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you will need to try again).  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.

  Once you are in the administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts to reset the password of an account with "computer administrator" privileges or create a new user account with privileges "computer administrator."

  If the password that you lack to the built-in, ' administrator' account politics of Microsoft for these forums forbid us to provide you with any information that might help you to bypass this password.

• Unable to disable UAC errors: to continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes, but he is nowhere to type a password and Yes is disabled.

  Original title: to continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes, but he is nowhere to type a password and Yes is disabled.

  Yesterday I just reinstalled Windows 8, replacing the preview of the version and the official version.

  I would like to disable UAC and various other things, but I can't.
  Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?
  Control parameters of account user (or almost anything from the control panel)
  To continue to type the administrator password, and then click Yes.
  There is no area password to type in. He 'bumps' when I type. I can only click on the No button or display unnecessary details.
  I will not restore the system on a new installation. Apparently, it's an old bug that has never been fixed because you can just tell people to do a system restore and close the book on the complaint. If please post a proper fix and stop wasting users time.
  Hi, I know I'm a little late to the party, but I found this post faced a similar problem and thought that post my findings.
  I found a work around for this problem, which does not require a reinstall of Windows, but you may lose your user account.
  Summary:
  The problem is that in Windows 8, the administrator is inactive by default, you will have to find a way to activate it. You can enable the admin account as an administrator,.
  However. Fortunately, (on my machine anyway) it seems that you can access your hidden from the Safemode administrator account. If your first set of objectives will be as follows:
  -starting in safe mode
  -Log in as an administrator
  -l' administrator, enable the account administrator similarly.
  -Restart your machine and you as an administrator outside of safe mode (normal mode).
  From here, you should be free to do what you want. Now that the admin account is active, you are allowed to type a password when prompted (by default that the password is empty). For me, however, when I tried to promote my previous user administrator account (among other things) I noticed symptoms that seem to indicate that the account ceased to exist. I went through measures to set up a new account and get it synced with my microsoft email account.
  -Create a new user account
  -give administrator rights
  -remove my old (for some reason, hidden) account
  -Sync to the top of my new user account with microsoft e-mail account.
  Directions for use:
  How to get admin access:
  (1.) start in safe mode. You can make it easier by opening a command prompt (Start menu-> type "cmd"). And type "shutdown/r/o".
  2.), your computer begins to restart, but give you a set of troubleshooting options. Choose troubleshooting->-> start of the Advanced Options settings.
  3.) after reboot and enter safe mode, users of contactor by going to the start menu-> click on your user name-> and choose administrator.
  4.) Windows will begin the first initialization for this account.
  5.) once connected, open the command prompt, this time as a Director. (Make a right click-> Run as administrator).
  6.) type "net user administrator / Active: Yes" to set the admin account as 'active'. It will now be shown outside of safe mode.
  7.) restart your computer and log in as administrator again. You can now add users and to play with the permissions etc. (metro options are not available in safe mode, where the reset).
  How to remove your old account of 'lost' and synchronize your new account with the microsoft account.
  1.) create a new account via the control panel users. Don't forget to give you administrator rights.
  (2.) to remove your lost old account by typing "net use /del" in an administrator command prompt. You need to know your old account name, good luck with this one.
  3.) go into the settings of your pc: open the context menu on the right-> settings-> "change PC settings."
  (4.) to go to the users-> Select 'switch to a Microsoft account» tab
  I hope this helps!
