I forgot the NAME of the Admin USER

I have a laptop that played on my children. They got locked, and that the devil knows what they were doing. One of them said she was playing with the names/admin domain names. Now, the username does not, any more than simply "administrator." Anyone know how I can be: work around her connect to Windows pop up, change the user name or at least get on this "thing" so I CAN change the user name.

Thank you!

Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and manage other user accounts.

    What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.

  • Cannot create or delete applications Essbase with the Admin user.

    Hello

    I'm running Essbase in version 11.1.2.3.505. For some reason, I can't create or delete applications in Essbase using the native admin account. I suspect it may be due to the fact that I wore recently users another environment via LCM HSS & that the roles were somewhat detached/altered in the HSS database. I checked that the commissioning for the admin user has full administrator for the Cluster Essbase HSS rights. The ID works very well elsewhere in the suite of the EMP, workspace, planning, etc. But the option to create or delete applications are greyed out. I have a workaround, where I can use a user newly created/configured to handle these tasks. I'm not sure how LCM would allow the superposition of the admin account properties in the HSS schema.

    FYI - check the table CSS_USERS, the creation date is the date of construction original (as well as all other indigenous users) - so I don't think it's relevant. I guess the problem would lie in CSS_PROVISIONING_INFO, CSS_ROLES, or a similar place. After opening a SR with Oracle, they recommended that I restore the entire schema I quickly rejected. He is not a danger, because I use the workaround. But it would be nice to have an overview of the pros on what is happening / what has happened.

    Thank you

    Wow, that's weird.  What do you see on the side of Essbase (rather than look at Shared Services) If you "appear privilege user xxxx;" in MaxL?

  • The ADMIN user has not created in my Apex 4.1 installation

    No matter how many times I run apxchpwd.sql, I can't my admin login page to tell me anything except "Invalid credentials." When I checked APEX_040100.wwv_flow_fnd_user, I found that the table was empty. There is no line for ADMIN at all, so there is nothing to apxchpwd.sql update. What can I do to add the user? I use HTTP Server and modplsql, not Apex listener. Thank you.

    Near the top of your Setup log file is show "Procedure with a new installation." or "Do an upgrade installation."?

    If it is an upgrade installation, it does not create the ADMIN user. Maybe delete all versions of the TOP before installing the new version, as a previous version was perhaps not setup correctly.

  • Fail to connect to Citrix with limited user, but succeeds with the Admin user

    On one of the facilities of our clients located on a Citrix server, users cannot connect to the database when they are limited to users. But if the same user is promoted to the administrator, it can connect.

    The Application uses ODP.Net to connect. In the installation of the other tools that use what ODBC works for limited users.

    The OracleConnection.Open method throws an exception without error message.
    The stack trace is:
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleErrorHelper (Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr opsErrCtx, OpoSqlValCtx * pOpoSqlValCtx, ByVal src, string procedure)
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleError (Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr, Object src opsErrCtx)
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection.Open)
    ---

    We have installed the Oracle Client 10.2.0.1 where the provider .net is also installed on the server (otherwise it wouldn't work for the admin user either).

    Anyone have any idea on why this strange behavior happening?

    / Nils

    This is a known issue in 10201 and should be solved by patching the customer until 10204. You do this by applying the patch of the database to the client, and you can get the patch of 10204 database on Metalink.

  • I forgot the password of the admin user for Windows 7

    I changed my password a while but my children damaged my computer and so it's been a few months that I could use it so now I forgot it. I read that I have to use a Windows repair CD, but I have not one of these? My concern is that I have a lot of my sons first pictures and video of his birth on the profile of admin users. If I could get safely ones I have something else on the subject wouldn't like. So is it possible to get to this file before I try and restart/repair? Thanks for any help on this, I feel terrible that I can I have lost these files for everything because I don't remember a stupid password.

    Remove the hard drive from the computer and then ask a member of the family of a friend if you can connect to their machine and copy the data from your drive for them or a flash drive.

    Now, you'll be able to do everything which is necessary to get your computer going again without having to worry about the photos... :-)

    When al is back as it should, you can consider using a backup disk...

    Hello

    My wife gave me his iMac and she is listed as a user Admin I created my own user. I want to create more disk space by removing his admin account.


    Apple gives these instructions:

    OS X Mavericks: remove a user

    If you are an administrator, you can remove users that you would no longer have access to your Mac.

    When you delete a user, you can save the home folder of the user, which contains the files and the settings of the user, or delete the folder.

    Open the preferences users and groups, and then click the lock icon to unlock it. If required, type your password, and then click on unlock.

    Select the user you want to remove, and then click Remove under the list of users.

    Do one of the following:

    To save the home folder of the user as a disc image, select "Save the home folder in a disk image." The disk image is saved in/Users/deleted users.

    In order to leave such base file, select "do not change the folder." The folder remains in / Users /.

    To delete the folder of your computer, select "Remove the folder." If you want to keep the programs that read the raw data to recover all files, select "delete the folder safely."

    Click on the user to remove.

    If you do not remove a personal folder user, you can restore the user and the content of the home folder.


    My questions, that they do not explain the instructions.

    1. can I delete his account if I'm not the Admin? I can access the admin account.

    2. can I designate me as the new admin, and then delete his account?

    3. I have, indeed, will create more disk space by removing account here?

    4. If I register his record as a disk image, which will open disk space without delete me the entire account?


    A technician Apple told me that I can not increase the memory of 8 GB to 16 GB on my vision.

    5. can't increase memory - is this true?

    My computer works as fast as I want and I'm trying to reduce the load on the system.

    6. I go about it the right way or is there something more I can do?

    Thank you

    < personal information under the direction of the host >

    Hi Tony, I asked your serial number erased. You never want to post in a public forum.

    To answer your question, no, you can not delete the account if you are not admin. You try to delete the account to become the sole Director of the computer? If so, everything will always be linked to his Apple ID and will require a password to authenticate anything. If this is the case, you must wipe the drive and reinstall the OS using internet recovery.

  • I FORGOT the ADMIN PASSWORD FOR - (WEB PAGE) - HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g

    Hi all

    I changed my network SSID & PW but I forgot the password for the printer web page.

    Password was written in a notebook and notebook is moved at the moment by the cleaning person.

    Please HELP! Is there anyway I can reset the printer so that the admin password is also re-set. I try to reinstall the software printers, also I am not able to change the ip address and right now, there is no ip address... get no link and no ip address and no network... Please anyone who can help... Please help.

    * I read some part... to power off the printer, then press the power button on... and continue pressing the back button where he would have, for some time the printer is back back (it was to reset the printer)... which is about 23 times... zero.

    I really want to THANK you ALL for READING THIS & YOUR TIME. So please help if you can...

    and ideas?

    Thank you, xxVEGASxx

    * xxVEGASxx *.

    You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer.

    Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list and you will have to scroll down to see it.

    Which erases all settings, including the password for the printer.

    To reset you describe is probably the one mentioned in this article:

    http://resetprinters.com/how-to-reset-the-HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8600-premium-all-in-one-printer/

    but it's probably a deeper reset that you really need anyway.

  • Help: VISTA is only in BLACK and WHITE for the admin user

    I went to another user in a game that worked well, but when I logged in this user and back in my usual admin user account, every day the screen is black and white while charging. Everything still functions very well except there is no color - all settings in the control panel and NVIDIA Control Panel suggests that it is the color display. If I connect to another account the color returns. Unfortunately system restore has been disabled for some reason any so that I can't restore to an earlier time. I downloaded and re-installed the latest driver for my graphics (NVIDIA 260 M GTX), but this does not solve the problem.

    Google search suggests some people have had this same problem, but still there are no solutions. Any help much appreciated.

  • The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

    OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

    After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

    If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

    Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

    OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

    Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

    When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

    If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

    Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

    In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

    -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

    I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

    -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

    And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

    -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

    And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

    Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

    There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

  • How can I disable the sound for the admin user when I am connected to my user?

He is still playing right now and continues to play, no matter what I do on my user. I do not know the administrator password, and I tried all the solutions demanded that this password.

    Mr President.

    I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:

    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 until you have changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
  • I forgot the admin password Windows 8 may not have passed the login screen no recovery disk

    Start the computer to the admin login screen.  You have forgotten this password and do not have a recovery disk.

    While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

    The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

    It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

    You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.

    The only advice I can offer you is either log - on another user with administrator privileges and reset your password to a new, use the password reset disk that you created when you set up your account, start guessing what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.
