I don't have an administrator account, but keeps askig me a password

Pease, can someone help me. My laptop keeps asking for a password, but I don't have an administrator account. How can I get around this?

Hello

1. are you on a domain?

2. have you already created an administrator account on the computer before?

3. you are the only user of the computer?

4. you have the disc of the operating system with you?

Unfortunately, if you try to perform any administrative actions on the computer asks the administrator password.

As a work around you, try the following steps:

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

Remove the DVD and restart. You will now see an icon for administrator on the Welcome screen. To connect to it.

After logging in using the built-in administrator create a new administrator account and use it for later use.

    I have a user account, but the type is standard user... I can't create an administrator user... because when I press on it see something that says that WINDOWS needs YOUR permission TO CONTINUE to create... Fix this please...

    To create an administrator account, you must be...
    (1.) an administrator
    (2.) to connect to the existing administrator account, or in possession of an administrator password.
    If you do not have all of the above, forget it.

    When the system asked you for permission, you should click on continue or enter the Admin password. If you could not do either, it means that you don't have administrative rights to do what you want.

  • try to change the mode of feeding for a user account, the instructions worked to change the administrator account, but changes do not appear on user accounts.

    On my HP 510 laptop, I want to change the power mode to one of the user accounts.  It cannot be changed of in the user account, so I followed these instructions: log in as administrator, do the selection desired in the list of available eating patterns (Control Panel, Power Options, eating patterns), click on apply, then log in as administrator.  I find that the selected power mode has been applied to the administrator account, but not to one of the user accounts. I tried to change in the user account, but still receive the "access denied" response

    I recently installed Microsoft Security Essentials. My reading of various internet stations indicate that some older antivirus programs may have hindered this process of power management. I was not able to discover how to inactivate Security Essentials, so did not try to change the mode of power without interference from her.

    Another indicated position of the potential interference of the BIOS settings. I don't know how to check if this may be the case. I have MS Windows XP Pro SP3 installed. I have automatic and current updates.

    Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

    Hello

    You can change the setting in see Group Policy for this document:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730920.aspx

    Or change temporarily the user to an admin account, make the changes and then return as a standard user.

    Thanks and regards.

  • My OS has an identity crisis! My user account has an alias? Who owns my computer? Do I really need an administrator account, but also a Standard?

    I'm confused by the different results different utilities to inform me on the question of whether if I use an administrator at some point account. When I got the computer it was pre-installed with Win 7, and the OWNER was called USER, what is an administrator account. First, I changed the username in the CPL accounts user to "Willy". For a week or two, I've experimented with that, and various utilities gave me different results. I think that "Willy" had been grafted onto a shortcut, the pointer or the synonym for 'User '. At one point, Windows Explorer has changed the user to 'Willy' folder, but still I get harassed me to raise my status for the various system calls, unless I used the option to right click "run as Administrator" (I don't know when this option became available in the context menu), to load the Application or 'Take Ownership' option (ditto) , which was confusing and ' it was hard to understand what he did. Then, I created an administrator named 'Administrator' account (perhaps a mistake) and changed "Willy" (or 'User'?) to a standard account. I'm still confused. I have now two directories in the directory C:\User, 'Administrator' and 'Willy '. But I'm now slowed by the login screen. If I choose "Willy", then Manager of tasks/Users told me that 'User' is connected, the shell command line sets the directory as... \Users\User and the back order 'whoami' tells me that I am 'user '.

    If anyone can clarify these issues, then I'll be very grateful: -.

    1. How can I synchronize my folder with my user name names?

    2. How can I make my user account (regardless of his name) have the permissions of the owner of the computer?

    3. I just have a user account, which can be high if necessary?

    4. where can I get detailed information about what happens when we renames, deletes, or creates a new folder?

    5. can I get digital trouble for appropriating files I transferred from my old computer?

    6. the built-in Administrator account can be used for limited, system calls instead of create an administrator account called "Administrator"? I'd rather just Butler of my own private PC and can't see the login screen. I know the deletion of an account will solve this problem, but which, 'Administrator' - the account admin, or "User" (aka "Willy"), the standard account?

    1. Name of the folder to synchronize with the user name.
      You cannot change the name of the user folder after it is created, because everything depends on it.  If you want it to function, create a new account user profile on the computer using the name you want the file to be.  Then, delete the one with the name that you don't like.
    2. Set the user account must have the permissions as owner
      Set the 'administrator' account type and he will have full control over your computer.
    3. Can I have a single user account and raise necessary?
      You can have a standard account you can raise when you need to.  But you still need to have an administrator account to use (or otherwise you will never be able to raise or even change the settings again... bad news!)
    4. What happens when we rename, remove, or create a new folder?
      There is nothing happening, the step you take is applied immediately on hard drive.
    5. Problems with the previous computer file transfer?

    No, that's your prerogative. You can do what you want, as long as it's not against your terms of use agreement.  If you can not decompile the source code of the operating system for example, is against your license to use Windows.
  • The built-in Administrator account can be used for system calls restricted, rather than create an account administrator called "Administrator"?
    The built-in Administrator account is already called "Administrator", by default, unless you changed it.

    If you don't want to see the login screen, just use an automatic connection.  I have a video that explains how and it works on all versions of Windows:

    The system hides the built-in Administrator account on Windows XP Home Edition when you create a second administrator account and she is only available for use by visiting Mode safe.  You can copy the profile of the account administrator part of your new account.

    Follow the instructions here: to copy a user profile

    Note that you can not copy a profile to or from the account that you are currently connected, if you want to copy the user profile to user B, you must be connected with the C & C user the user must have administrator privileges.

  • Adobe Flash Player works fine on my administrator account, but not on my user account.

    On my PC, I have an administrator account and a personal account. My OS is Vista Home premium 64-bit and I only use THE 32-bit version or Firefox.  I uninstalled and installed Flash on both accounts to make sure that I have the latest version, but the Flash works on my administrator account.  I checked that Shockwave Flash Object add on is enabled.  I checked the Flash executables reside in both SysWOW64\Macromed\flash and System32\Macromed\flash files, although the FlashUtil64_11_3_300_270_Activex.exe is located in the System32 folder and the FlashUtil32... resides in the SysWOW64 folder that seems intuitive.  But it works on the administrator account, so I guess that's not the issue.  Any suggestions?

  • Impossible to pass to 8.1 and I was told that I had to have an administrator account.

    I have Windows 8 and tried to upgrade to 8.1 Windows.  Went to the Windows store, asked the upgrade, I was told that I had to have an administrator account.  Went to my computer, got the status of administrator, returned to the store, got turned down.  Went on the Web for tutorials to anyone, but Microsoft, discovered that I really need a Microsoft account, driven around a few others and found a place to create a.  Account login Windows told me I have a code word left by an outdated version of Windows, and no, I couldn't set a new account - they wanted that one.  However - Sun through clouds - they would send me a code if I typed my email once again.  AHA.  IE far typed, closed (which had no menus or a new tab menu item), it opened and got my email from the Microsoft Team with my number of code in it!

    Copied the code through the Windows logon account taradiddle again, entered the Security Code of the woohoo Microsoft team.  Did not work.  Waited a week for the bad brujo die down and crept through the routine once again.  This time the magic worked, and Microsoft then informed me that I had to go to another step to add another layer of security.

    I - Yes, I should have known it was wrong - and discovered that the new secret layer of security involved choose from three options, of which none apply to me--with, unfortunately, no provision for backup of the entire House of cards before she collapsed on me.  Came to this site, tried to ask questions about my problem and been redirected to something unimportant.  Tried again, asking the stupid question in the title above, got a popup trying to direct me to another irrelevant character.  Ignored and typed this out.

    Now that I finally got through, two questions:

    1. Apart from buying a new computer, how do Windows 8.1?

    2 we wouldn't be better to go back to Vista?

    Original title: when you ask a question, why doesn't this site redirect you to a message rather than allow you to display the question irrelevant?
