Lost administrator permissions

As nobody seems to have an answer to this problem or many other similar posted. I guess I have no choice but to re - format the hard drive and reload everything which will take at least three days. Looks like early windows days are back! CAN ANYONE TELL WHERE TO GO TO FIX THIS?

I seem to have lost quite a few administrator rights which is a real pain. How can I reset them I am the only user on this computer and because I lost them I can't update my websites. Outlook, I cannot import my old .pst file. CAN ANYONE HELP?

Hi David g. Jones
 
a. what happens when you try to update your Web site?
b. what happens when you try to import the PST in Outlook?
c. makes you think that you lost the administrator privileges?
 
Tell us more about your problem so that we can better help you.
 
For now, you can try to create a new account and check if the problem persists there.
 
For more information visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-user-account
 
Create new windows account select Administrator, this will give administrative privileges to the new account.
 
Let us know if it works.
 
Hope this information is useful.

    Hello

    Are you facing this problem on the specific file or all the files on your computer?

    I suggest manually apply permissions to a file or folder before you face, follow the steps below. Manually apply permissions, it's something that only advanced users should do because you could end up with unexpected results.

    (a) click on file or folderand then click on Properties.
    (b) click on the Security tab, and then click Edit.
    (c) to set permissions for a user who is not listed under group or user names, click Add, type everyone in the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.

  • How to restore default settings for administrator permissions?

    On my laptop, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with all Service Packs, and recommended updates.
    I messed up inadvertently administrator permissions so that I can't access, move, or delete certain folders / files.  Please - how to restore the default permissions?

    There is no way to do it automatically. Restore the system to a point before that the amendments may help.

    This article gives advice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

    If you can open a command prompt (see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-questions ), you may be able to use the Takeown command and icalcs to set the permissions to the usable values.

    You may need to compare the permissions on a system that works. The Sysinternals AccessChk and AccessEnum utilities can be useful.

    Try this:

    2 disable UAC *.
    3 edit the file.
    4 turn on UAC.

    AFAIR you could also change with an admin account when starting mode safe.

  • Permissions of the user - administrative permissions

    As it goes with all Microsoft products, I was an alternative to get away the illogical people at Microsoft.  In this case, their insatiable desire for everything do so difficult and unstable that when a problem occurs, there is no answer or solution.  I lost from one day to the next my permission on a computer on which I built using Vista Ultimate and it basically makes your computer of all the unusable data now or in the future.  As with most Microsoft problems their illogical security permissions and the absence of instructions on how to set permissions for a single computer at home are par for the course.

  • Lost administrative password recovery options

    About once a day, I see the same post

    "I lost my administrative password for my computer"

    "I don't remember my password"

    "I need to change the password and I don't remember"

    Without failure, we put the passwords and forget about them and it is not always a simple process to remedy this solution. However, it is a simple process and can easily be avoided. If you read this thread and you have not lost your password to take measures now to protect yourself in case this happens. It will save you time and effort. Always remember, act now to save time tomorrow.

    Retrieve the password using a password reset disk

    This should be your preferred method to reset your password as this is something that you can do and need to do when you settle your account with a password. The password recovery CD must be created before you lost the password to be effective. If you have not already created it and you read this thread to be upward and out with what to do if you are having this issue right now stop and go create this disc.

    Instructions available here

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-password-reset-disk

    Now, if you have the drive and you have lost your password it is very simple.

    1 start the computer and try to enter the password on the Windows login screen

    2. the password is incorrect message opens, and from there, you can select ok

    3. once the screen goes away, a new screen appears with an option to reset the password.

    4. follow the instructions on the screen and use the password reset disk to reset your password

    Change your password to a different user account

    If you have multiple user accounts, and at least one of these other accounts have administrator rights, then you can reset your password from the other account. The password of this account may be necessary, then you can check with the owner of the account.

    1. connect to the other account has administrator rights

    2. click the start ORB, then select the Control Panel

    3. from here, select the accounts of users and parental control

    4. Select Manage another account

    5. click on the account with the forgotten password

    6. click on change password

    7. type a new password and press on enter to confirm

    8. click on change password

    9 disconnect you, then try to log on to the original account

    Return to a previous password

    If you have recently changed your password and now can't remember, you can use the application of Microsoft System Restore to return to a time before you changed the password. This would of course imply remind you which has been the case the previous password.

    To go back and use your old password follow these steps:

    1. press on the F11 key repeatedly to open the HP System Recovery program on the system startup

    2. under, I need help immediately, click the Microsoft System Restore option

    3. follow the instructions to restore the computer to a previous state, choose a time before you changed the password.

    Use a third-party program to attempt to reset / recover password

    HP, like most other companies, do not support the use of third-party applications, but they do exist. If you cannot use one of the options mentioned previous then this is may be the option you want to try.

    Removal and recovery of password programs exist and can be found on the internet through various searches on google.

    One of these programs can be found here http://www.pcloginnow.com/ with instructions on how to use it here http://www.pcloginnow.com/guide.html

    Remember that HP mentioned earlier does not support the use of third-party software to retrieve lost passwords, and then you use this tool or any other tool at your own risk.

    Hope this helps you recover your lost password, or you read and warning and make a recovery for you disk protect.

  • What people are included in "Level 1 Administrator permissions?" when the configuration file and network share permissions?

    I'm trying to figure out how to set the level of permissions for my files and folders. But I also understand exceptions to the permissions of level 1 and level 2. I've never used a "network of the computer at work." I've only used a "network of computers at school. So I have only a limited understanding of what means "administrator." At home, when I'm sitting at my computer, which is not connected to a network to work, or school, I'm the 'administrator' on my computer. This is because I created the "user account" through the steps required to create an account on my computer, and I assigned a password to the account. Only, I can read and write to files and folders that I created in the folder "My Documents" from my user account. At least I have change permissions and file sharing, all files and folders in the "My Documents" folder are private (level 1) and no one else can read or write on my files. I have 'full control '.

    However, if I'm on a computer at work or at school, even if I am the "owner/creator" of my files and folders, there is another person (my boss or my teacher) for example, which is the 'network administrator.' Presumably, this person has access to my files and folders and share a total control over them. If that's true, how someonewho is not the creator of the file or folder access? If anyone else can have total control over my files and folders at school or work, which keeps an unknown person to access my files and folders on my computer a home. What I mean is this: if I change the permissions to allow someone else to read and write in my files and folders, which prevents an unauthorized person by performing the same steps to access my files and folders? My question is about operating systems, I learn all that is Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista SP2.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  • 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.

  • In the folder of the account administrator permissions

    When checking permissions to the accounts I noticed the hidden administrator account seems to be available in my computer/programs/users. But when I try to open this account, I get a [click to continue for permanent access to this folder]. If this happens verses called to use a password for the account or if you do not allow this type of authorization?

    He also seems to be a recent date, this folder has been created so that I'm not sure that what counts is in fact.

    OK, things are a little clearer. In your initial post that you wrote

    I noticed that the hidden administrator account appears to be available in my computer/programs/users

    What you mean actually was:

    I noticed that the profile folder for the hidden administrator account seems to exist according to C:\Users.

    The answer to your question is simple: this profile folder was created when someone logged in as the administrator account. He remained there until you manually remove the account or the profile folder. It is not security risks either.
