Lost my admin previlages...

Due to a problem, I removed the users in property of c drive (where my operating system installed) and then in the Security tab (ex.system, authenticated users, admin etc all including mine also)

Now the problem I put is I can't do anything. I'm not able to access the c drive. All services are stopped. Cmd even also not working not not as administrator

I tried now

1 adding users but can't add says you don't have permission

2 takeown command but not resolved. I m not able to run cmd as an admin

3.I isn't any restore point. So it also does not work.

4. cacls command, but it also requires admin

5. even tried to format but it does not work as all services such as desktop brightness, audio, new installation s/w, wifi etc don't work not everything is blocked and I was only the user of my laptop and I have been using a single account to admin user

If I understand you correctly, then these are your problems:

  • You only have one account administrator.
  • You demoted this account unique in the 'user '.
  • You have removed your own side of security from various places.
  • You do not have a restore point valid.

I would call this a "collapse". It should be fixed with a destructive factory restore. When you're done, create, test, and document an alternative admin account so that you do not suffer from this type of problem again.

    I lost the admin password on my printer Hp 8610.  Help!

    Hello @bDannyman,

    I understand that you lost the administrator password that have set you up on your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-all-in-one printer. I would like to help you today with resetting the password on your HP Officejet.

    Unfortunately, the password is in the programming of your printer. Therefore, in order to reset the password for you to use all the features of your machine once again, we have to run a programming semi full reset. This reset will cause your printer to 'think' it starts for the first time again.

    Please check your private Messages for instructions on how to perform semi full reset.

    Good luck!

  • Lost my admin password

    Hello, I lost my admin password and password recovery programs do not work, at the end it says the password not found, at this point im tired of going through all the steps to get it back. Planning on restarting the computer and reformatting to factory condition, it also clear the admin password and let me acess IM computer? Thank you

    I'm sorry, but I am prohibited by Microsoft's strategy to help you recovery your password by give you links to programs that work or showing you how to find these links.  If I try, they will simply remove my post and you will lose everything as well.

    Restore factory settings will be reset the administrator password system and give you access to your system (set of something you don't forget or leave just white which is what most people do), but it may require that such action drastic.

    If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Make sure you do the administrator accounts at least two (one for use) and the other in case of emergency and one account standard for your daily use (you can use the already created accounts to include in the present). Go to manage other accounts, and change passwords on account of the qualification and any other person that you want to change.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    Good luck and I hope this helps.
