I'm the only user how to become administrator?

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Windows 7 and do not seem to be the administrator?

Click on start, Control Panel configuration, click users and see if it says you are.  You should be.  Some programs do you want to run them as an administrator.  You do a right click on the installer and click on run as administrator.  If you have a shortcut on the screen for the program that you have problems with, do a right click on the shortcut on the desktop, and then click Properties, compatibility and tick run as administrator.

  • I need permission for everything and I don't know how else to do it... I am the only user of the computer.

    I am logged as singular Vista user.  I can't delete files... impossible to install programs, etc... He always says access denied and I need permission... I'm the only user with UAC disabled.  What is the problem?

    Hello

    Just a few questions:
    [1] which version of Vista you are running?
    [2] which folder you are trying to delete?

    Click the button START/Pearl and in the LINE RUN type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    Once in DOS:
    Type "winver" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
    This will give you the exact version of Windows you are using.

    Also, copy and paste everything between the lines in the BACK window.
    Where is the account you used.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    net localgroup administrators / Add
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Then log in as you and try again.

    If it does not go back in the DOS window
    Click the button START/Pearl and in the LINE RUN type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    Once in DOS mode copy and paste everything between the lines in the BACK window.

    --------------------------------------------------------
    NET user Admin Password1 / add
    net localgroup administrators Admin / add
    net localgroup users Admin/delete

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

    This will create a user called "Admin" with the password "Password1" and will only get the user to an administrator.
    Log in as user name and try again.

    If you can't always do what you want to do, let know us and we will continue to try to help.

  • I'm the only user on my PC. I can not yet implement some programs because he is asked an administrators password. How can I solve that?

    I try to install a MOM. Layout ŒUVRE /driver file that I downloaded from the microsoft site.

    As stated above, I get the message that I ' am not allowed not so early because an administrator password is required.
    As I am the only user, I don't know what pasword is intended. I always use one to open a session.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Gerard P van der Vlist

    Have you tried "right click" on the file and selecting "run as Administrator"? If not, give it a whirl and see what happens. It * may be looking for the password that you connect to the computer with.

    I hope this helps.

    Last night when I tried to shut down my computer like I always do, the option "User Swithc" appeared in the drop down menu it wouldn't let me use Restart, Shut Down or one of the other options.  I'm the only user.  I'm logged into my account and and off then with the warning that the other user will lose any unsaved work.  HE DIDN'T THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE.  Nor was he ever.

  • Impossible to delete a user account, even though I am the administrator and the only user of my PC

    Hello, you who knows:

    My OS is Vista Home Premium SP2 and I am the only user and
    administrator.
    ... But the other week, unable to access one of my files, I created
    another administrator account, which appears as a different user on
    my welcome window, but I couldn't do much with.

    Therefore, I decided that it would be a useless account for me to
    have created.
    ... How can I remove this 'new' alternate administrator account?
    For some strange reason, Vista Home Premium doesn't have
    an option 'remove' or 'delete '.

    Can someone knowledgeable computer please tell me what I can do
    to remove this other account?
    I do not see it when my welcome window opens.

    Thank you for your attention to this.

    Dear noomene K,

    What a beauty to hear from you again and to see all of your great advice!

    Your instructions to cancel/hide delinquency counts that I myself
    created were certainly useful

    ... Unfortunately, and despite everything, the problem remains.

    I therefore scoured Internet for some other answer and found a
    prompt command, I decided to try.
    -Says the command prompt: net user administrator /active: Yes, I have
    used for the account I wanted to keep and continue to use.

    -And then I went to the user account window that I wanted to cancel
    and placed the command prompt: net user administrator / active: No..

    Who took care of my problem!

    But you gave me a few instructions very well anyway, and I really appreciate
    your help.

    Thank you.

  • must ' secondary log - we ' turn in my services? (I am the only user)

    After reading the definition of "secondary log - we ', it sounds like leaving a door wide open! Any other service not depend on either.

    Hello

    Please see the link.

    To start the secondary logon service

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/sys_srv_secondary_logon.mspx?mfr=true

    Secondary logon service necessarily does not make the non-secure computer.

    However, you can use the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software to protect your computer against viruses and other malicious threats. Since you are the only user, it is not necessary to start this service.

    If anyone has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated.

    For as long as I had my HP G60-235DX notebook pc with windows vista. It won't recognize me as the administrator. I am the only user and the owner. I checked under the control panel in the user accounts, and he said im set as an administrator but when some programs want to run it says I must have administrator privileges and then stops the program. Any help would be good.

    You do a right click on the program > run as admin.
