I get a prompt for me to enter my administrator password, I do not have, or ever remember having

I have a Dell laptop with Vista program.  I get a prompt for me to enter my administrator password, I do not have, or ever remember having.  How to recover the administrator password, or create a new?  I am a registered user Standard under "user accounts", which does not list someone as an administrator.  It's my personal computer at home, and I can not install updates or perform other simple tasks because I do not have the "Administrator" password  How can I fix it?

We are not allowed to help users to bypass the password protection, regardless of what are "reasons".

  • When I try to connect to hotmail, I get a message saying that I entered the wrong password.

    Problem password Hotmail

    Hello

    I'm trying to access my account hotmail (not that I use to ask this question). Until recently, I was able to connect without a problem. Now, when I try to connect, I get a message saying that I entered the wrong password.

    I then try to reset my password. I gives me 3 options: -.

    Send me a link to reset - with this option, the displayed e-mail address is similar to my other address, but not the right. Whatever it is, I don't get a link for reset.

    Use my trusted PC - I have tried this on 2 computers I use most often. Neither work

    Customer service - I've tried this 3 days ago. I entered all the information I have, but have not heard anything yet return.

    I don't know what are my options here. I would be glad of any help.

  • Need to enter the administrator password to click on Yes to UAC

    When I need to update a program or otherwise need a program to gain access to my computer, I get the UAC dialog box.  This part is normal.  For the last month, the Yes button is not available without a password.  I've never set up an administrator password!  How do I get this cleared up?

    Original title: administrator password

    I've never set up an administrator password!

    Yes, you did. When you have loaded Windows for the first time you have been prompted for the name of an account and a password. This account was created as an administrator account. This is the account that you now use.

  • Need to enter the administrator password before I can download the software upgrade

    I found I need to install an upgrade of the software, but cannot do without an ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD ... which I don't have (or I had not one when I implemented that stand-alone pc, or I forgot whether I don't have an administrator password to use).

    Can someone tell me how to find what it is, how to change it, or how to make my normal "logon" Administrator status (without having to set an administrator password, because that's the problem I have).

    I tried various methods, but everyone tells me that I need the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD and so I'm stuck.

    I've seen a lot of suggestions for the windows password (which I guess is different for the ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD), because none of the suggestions for this work without an administrator password.

    Hello Jules.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    1. is the issue specific to the installation of software updates?
    2. what troubleshooting have you done when you say, 'I have tried different methods?

    Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.

    This problem may occur either if the user account control settings can not correct because of where it stops installation or there is a problem with the registry keys that control the installation of a program.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    Run this Microsoft fixit and check.
    Reference:
    The problems that the programs cannot be installed or uninstalled
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

    If this does not help, use method 2.

    Method 2:
    Disable user account control and then try to install the software updates.
    Reference:
    Disable UAC in Windows 8
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hyperyash/archive/2012/07/18/disabling-user-account-control-in-Windows-8.aspx

    Important notes:

    Control (UAC) user account can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    I hope this information helps.

    Please let us know if you need more help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Permissions and security issues with Vista/Win7?

    Check the following settings.

    All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account on all computers that they are allowed to connect to.

    Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users.

    Using the functionality of all saved the need to configure authorization for each of the established users, it does mean not all those who feel that they would like to connect.

    Users who do not have an account on the computer are not part of the Everyone group.

    If the LAN security is useless and users are not established, then move on the guest account provides the semi-open configuration.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-the-guest-account-on-or-off

    ---------------------

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  • Enter your administrator password or power on password

    Unfortunately I do not have the product serial code, or even know what OS this laptop works, because he is the child of my cousin. I was invited to take a look, but cannot go beyond a command prompt for a "password administrator or of the power on password'. They no longer have the manual, or even stickers series product.

    After three failed attempts, I get a lock system off screen and the code: 63226230. I hope that this code is a password which could be a useful person?
