Locked as administrator on Windows Vista.

Do not accept the password. Am not familiar with changing the boot options so that the PC read a CD - RW. Many attempted to change startup options, but I think I did more damage. He said that Vista is almost impossible to re - set password when the administrator is then locked. Can help you? Have been down for a week now. Had to happen at the party! Thank you.

  • Can not remove fonts - application for leave to administrator in Windows Vista

    Original title: why did Windows not recognize me as an admin even if I am the only user and 'Administrator' is even named right after my name?

    I'm having this problem on this Vista laptop that I am now on and on my desktop which has been upgraded to Windows 7.

    In the particular case on this laptop, I'm trying to reduce my list of fonts to eliminate those I do not need or use.  I selects a font to delete, press DELETE, it says that windows needs the permission to delete this, I give permission.  Then he said that I need permission and that it only gives options of "Try Again" or "Cancel".  I have this problem with all types of files and I'm really tired of this garbage.  Help, please.


    Hello

    ·        What do you mean by all types of files? What are the other files are you trying to delete, they are system files?

    A font is a system file and to delete a system file, you must disable the UAC (user account control) and check if you are able to delete the file on the system. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

    Note: Turn on UAC, once you did delete the files.

    Enable or disable the User Account Control

  • Security Administrator in Windows vista, some programs cannot uninstall problem.

    Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware; MSE is an anti-virus.

    They are 2 completely different things.

    These days, you need these two types of emissions; but CERTAINLY, you must have an antivirus installed.

    Windows Defendar is an anti-spyware program.

    And MSE, AVG, McAfee, etc. has conflicts or turns them off Windows Defender.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Use MSE and the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for your security programs...

    And use by default the builtin Vista Firewall; It is very good.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In my opinion, you have not need of 3rd party firewall, such as Zone Alarm.

    See you soon.
