• Cannot access the internet using the account invited in Vista. Unable to access using the administrator account.

  This one is strange - and I repeat that the problem is that I can't access the internet by using the administrator account.  The guest account works fine.  All programs are there and launch the fine (IE, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc.), but they cling right there when I try to log on or access to any Web site.

  While in the administrator account, I ran "CMD" in the run menu and can ping Yahoo, Google, etc. with success.  It's embarrassing - any ideas how the administrator account can act that way then the guest account works perfectly?

  Hello Allen LaBrune,.

  If you are able to ping the websites from the command prompt, it means that your computer connectivity is fine.

• Cannot change the settings on the computer. No access to the administrator account

  Original title: I can't access permissions to change settings or programs.

  I can not access permissions to change any settings or programs and do not have access to an administrator account, I tried what allows one but you must have admin permission to do so. Please point me in the right direction, it seems that Ive tried everything. ID realyy don't want to spend money on software

  Hi Christophe,

  -With which user account you have connected? It is a standard user account?

  -What happens when you try to change the settings? You receive an error? In the affirmative, please let us know the exact error message.

  Since you are not able to create an administrator account, I suggest you to enable the built-in Administrator account.

  1. you must start the computer by using the Windows 7 installation media.

  Follow the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-system-recovery-options#what-are-system-recovery-options=windows-7 to enter the recovery options in Windows 7.

  Note: See the manual of the computer to change the Boot order in the BIOS and set the CD/DVD as first boot device.

  2. Once you start the computer by using the Windows 7 installation disc, follow the instructions on the screen then go food Advanced Options and select command prompt.

  In the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yes

  After the command finishes, restart the computer and then log on to the administrator account by default, change the account type of the old user account and make as administrator and check if you are able to change the settings.

  Follow the steps in the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-a-users-account-type to change the account type of the user account.

  Once you have set the administrator type account with your user account, disable the default user account by following these steps.

  1. login to your user account.

  2. open the command prompt, type cmd. exe in the run search and right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator.

  3. type net user administrator / active: No.

  This will disable the built-in Administrator account.

  Hope this information is useful.

• need help with access to the administrator account

  I know that there is an account on my computer called Administrator. I know because when I type NET USER in CMD it gives me an account named Administrator. When I type in NET USER ADMINISTRATOR cmd, I get: active account number how can I activate this account?

  I know that there is an account on my computer called Administrator. I know because when I type NET USER in CMD it gives me an account named Administrator. When I type in NET USER ADMINISTRATOR cmd, I get: active account number how can I activate this account?

  Given that the account is already active, you will not have to activate it. Anyway, you can type
  NET user administrator / Active: Yes
  When you are connected under an administrator account. Note that by using the administrator account gives you exactly the same privileges as any other admin account. There is no difference.

• System Restore doesn't have access to the administrator account

  Hello

  Yesterday, I created a new username on my PC under Windows 8, but unfortunately I typed the wrong outlook address, so there is a user account on my system with an address from outlook that is not mine and I do not know the password.  To make things worse, I seem to have made my own local users represent a non-administrator, so the only administrator user account on the PC is that I can not enter and do not know the password.
  If I could somehow reset the system back to how it was before yesterday, everything would be fine, but I do not know how, because I don't have an administrator account.
  Any help is appreciated!  Thank you.

  Thanks for the help.  I just reinstalled Windows 8 in the end - I had everything backed up anyway, and it seemed like the easiest option.

• How can I view the administrator account, which is not even in SafeMode (Windows 7)?

  I was instructed to set up a Windows 7 PC. It has been used before, but I don't know by whom or how it was used. In order to do a bit of setting up I want, I need access to the administrator account. I have an account that is in the group administrator, Admin, but the account itself seems to be hidden or missing. It does not appear when I boot in safe mode. How can I access the administrator?

  I found my own answer. The administrator account is disabled. Enable it, run the policy group, then Configuration Editor Local computer--> Windows settings security settings local policies--> security-> accounts options-->-->:--> Enable Administrator account status.

  After that, I was able to connect to the administrator.

  If the language bar is disabled then it's because there is a policy setting in your domain that prevents users from switching keyboards.

• The standard account users are able to access the files of in the administrator account.

  Original title: help with the Standard of Windows 7 user account

  I'm completely lost as to how I can possibly set it up on my computer. Here's the scenario, we don't have that one computer that all we share.

  I use my computer for the working documents and other important files that I do not want others to have access to, my only siblings uses the computer to access the internet to check their emails, games, regular and other navigation.
  I created an administrator account for me and a single standard user account to allow them their use, but not be able to make changes or install things without my consent. But the problem is that they are, log on with a standard user, they still manage to access the file on my "my documents" of the administrator account.
  As I check, they were able to do by accessing the C:\ drive > users > My Name here > my documents.
  I tried it myself using the standard account and I was able to make the changes/remove files store on my files of administrator account without even receive a warning or be asked an admin password.
  Is it possible for me to avoid this? How can I prevent someone using a standard account to access files on my administrator account? Or better yet, can you please provide steps on how to do a standard user cannot account not able to access to the "Users" folder in the C:\ drive?
  Is it also possible to have the only able to access their personal files user account?
  Any help is appreciated.

  Here are the key to your problem:

  B. users (HomePC\Users) - check (Allow) "Read & Execute", "List folder and content," finally "to read"...
  You must add your account name and give him full access, then remove the marks of graduation for "users".
  Unwanted permissions have been applied probably because you activated the group home environment and shared your own folders. There is a network issue, not a safety issue. I know little about this feature of Windows 7 and recommend that you ask the networking experts for advice in this forum.

• XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

  Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

  You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

  Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

  You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

  For XP Home:

  You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

  For XP Pro:

  Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

  Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.

• 8, no access to the administrator of the Windows account to all the

  Serious problem.
  I tried a lot of things, and that's what I remember to have done:

  It all started when my user account (Administrator) on windows 8 appeared with an error so I couldn't connect.

  The system connect as a guest instead.

  Then, I created a new normal account.

  Then I activated the build in the administrator account.
  I thought I solved the problem, I have not. But I have disabled the build in the account of administrator again.

  AND NOW, I can't get turned on again because every time I try to open msconfig or commando promt or such it ask me the password on the first account, with the error. SO I'm totally lost here.

  Help, please

  Hello

  If you are unable to access the original account, try to create an other administrator account that you can use.

  If you are unable to do this, you may need to use one of the restore options to repair corruption in user accounts.

  See the following Web site for 3 recovery options that you can use.

  I have recently reinstalled Windows and I screw up the user names. This is what is stated in the users folder. All users, default user, Default (hidden), longsorr (grayed out), Public (grayed out), UpdatusUser. It should be default user, D..., my guests. When I was asked for the username during installation I gave longsorrow, thinking he was talking about the computer, time of elderly people. I tried to fix this and now got D... longsorrow. I also I created my guests and that is not the case on the list. Finally, I normally mode without fail get computers Admin user account and my account, what has not happened. Only the accounts show where d... and my guests. (Oddly, my guests is on the front line and not my user account.)

The problem is that I don't have access to the Admin account. Please do not suggest to reinstall Windows for the 4th time. :)
