Lost administration account - desperate - tried all of the suggestions

Desktop computer Dell 2008 - Home Vista service Pack 2 - old computer XP - just followed set up guests and finished with 'Administrator' in my name with the password. No problem for two years and then read that it is not a good idea, must have and operated from 'standard' account Create standard and dial-up account Standard IE rollers > Admin/Admin > standard - reasoning, perhaps wrongly, that I would have immediate access to all the work done in two years under Admin a/c.

Now cannot do anything - only standard account appears on the Welcome screen - can not login as admin - can not access the Admin account - cannot make changes to user accounts - cannot use System Restore - cannot download updates that do not automatically – user account is disabled and cannot be changed - safe mode does not show admin account - cannot run mechanical disc Register etc, etc...  All I get are messages to without administrative rights or contact administrator - never get asked to admin password - I know.

Have you tried all the suggestions I found on these forums - cannot download Tweak UI Powertoy - command prompt does not work - this is the answer I get that I don't understand:

The syntax of this command is:

[Username [password: *] [options]] [/ DOMAIN]

username {password: *} / Add [options] [/ domain]

username [/ delete] [AREA]

username [/ TIMES: {time: ALL}]

I am not experienced at this - have backed up everything on my external hard drive that I decided my only option was to do a clean reinstall from the disc that came with the computer, although I would not be able to get Service Pack 2 now unless it is somewhere in my backups, but being desperate I thought I'd risk - BUT I can't do even that I don't have the right permissions.

I know at least someone else on the forum has had this same problem - cannot say if it was never fixed - please does anyone have ideas as now I have no control on my computer.

Would like to hope.

PROBLEM SOLVED--are looking for several days before and after post my original request as well as tech from Microsoft to support meetings directly (who are not yet able to provide a solution that worked) but now have found a solution that worked and I have now regained control of my computer - I hope that others with the same problem may find this useful.

http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/102552-built-administrator-enable-WinRE.html

There are two methods to access the construction administrator for both Vista and Windows 7 listed on this link - I knew that method 1 would not work for me because it is downloading a file that I knew my computer say that I was not allowed to run but I found 2 method of preparation - I now have my account user with administration rights , can uninstall programs, download free software, run my registry cleaner etc etc - fantastic.

Hope is more would.

  • Windows 7 will not shut down or restart my computer. I tried all of the suggestions I've seen previously displayed.

    My computer shuts down fine with Vista (64-bit), but not with Windows 7 (Home Ultimate, 64-bit).  It disconnects me and shows the "Stop" screen, access the drive hard as if he does something, but never closes my computer (or monitor) off the coast.  It's the same thing when I'm saying Windows restart my computer.  I always hold the power button to turn off.  Occasionally, the next time I start up, I get a message saying that the computer has been shut down unexpectly, but usually not.  Although I don't think that this issue is damaging physically my computer, it is still an annoying problem.

    So far I have tried:

    -Modification of the settings in my BIOS ACPI.  I don't have the ability to toggle ACPI, only to change between 1 & 3.  I tried them both.

    -Method of "Clean boot" Troubleshooting Microsoft.  Even with all non-essential services and startup items disabled, I always have this problem.

    -Disable Windows Fax.  Only one had this problem, and so I thought I would give it a shot.  Not good.

    -Another forum suggested turning off the M-Audio card.  Tasted it.

    -Yet another forum suggested changing "power settings" in the device to the IEEE Bus controller Manager 1394, allowing the computer stop the computer, or something in this sense.  I see no option anywhere to change the power settings.

    Suggestions of new, I can add to the list?

    After reading a lot on the forums and tried almost everything, patches, disabeling energy efficient features on IEEE 1394 and usb. He hit me, everything indicates that the acpi on the motherboard and the table mps. Changing from 1.4 to 1.1 in the bios MPS table solves the problem and win 7 shutsdown correctly

  • How to get google work once again, I tried all of the suggestions I've seen so far!

    The service Google has suddenly stopped working in Firefox. In the box of the home page, of toolbar and to address, when I search I just get a blank screen, no results.

    I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled from a new download. I checked all add ons and plugins are up-to-date, I did a full system scan to check the malware and nothing seems to work.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engines still in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

  • Pop-up ads continue despite all the information here regarding remove them.  I think they were watching when I downloaded an update for Adobe Flash Player.  All of the suggestions!

    I use OS x El Capitan 10.11.2 on my 3.2 GHz, 8 GB Mac.  I keep getting the pop - ads that those scam ads reply and get their malicious software solution.  I also get the help line 'Apple' where someone's endearing supposedly walk me if they can help.  I tried all of the solutions in the Apple support groups, but nothing has worked... remove extensions (don't have), in order to put the files listed in 'Go to Folder' (none came, so I couldn't remove them).  Any ideas?  It seems that it got worse after I received a notice to update my Adobe Flash Player... maybe a false update.

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") The title of the page is 'Diagnostic Test'. Under the title is a text box, headed by three small icons. The right one represents a Clipboard. Click on this icon to select the text, then copy to the Clipboard of your computer by pressing Control-C key combination.

    If the text is not highlighted when you click the icon, select it in triple - click anywhere inside the box. Do not select the whole page, just the text in the box.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

    exec bash

    and press return. Then paste the script again.

    10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.
