  In the affirmative. We are not allowed to help for fear that somebody wants to break the password of admin for ill intentions.

  Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?

  You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.

  Hello Cristina, what operating system are you using?
  
  
  First try this,
  • Turn on your pc and you will get a white text and start pressing F8 on your keyboard (before the windows logo appears).
  • You get a list of options, select Safe Mode
  • Then windows will load in safe mode, you will be able to select the administrator account on here. If you have assigned a password, type it, otherwise leave blank.
  • Once you are on the account, go to the account options, select your account from the list and change the type of administrator account
  • Remove any other account that you don't need.
  Then, restart your pc and reconnect again as usual.

  (See this if you have Windows 7 or Vista)
  
  

  What gives an account Windows XP administrator rights

  Note: so that you have the right to assign a different account to the administrator group, you must be logged in as administrator or an account with administrative rights.

  Recommended method

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the icon for user accounts.
  3. Click the user account that you want to grant administrative rights.
  4. Click "change account type".
  5. Select computer administrator, and then on the button change the Type.

  Alternative method

  1. From the Windows desktop right-click on my computer.
  2. Click on manage, which should open the window management of the computer as shown below.

     

  3. Click on the + next to the local users and groups or double-click it. Note: If you are unable to access this section, it is likely that you have no rights of administrator on the computer.
  4. Click users, and then in the right pane, you should see all the user accounts on your computer settings.
  5. Double-click the account that you want to view the rights of.
  6. Click on the Member tab of.
  7. If the user is a member of the 'administrators' this account already has administrative rights. If this group is not listed, click the Add button.
  8. Type 'administrators', then on the button check names. If found successfully you should get your computer name \administrators followed and he stressed. For example,HOPE\Administrators.
  9. Click Ok.

  After following the steps above, this account will be a member of the Administrators group and has the administrative rights on this computer.

• Lost access to the programs, not a virus or registry problem. Lost the rights to the user (?) but cannot access restore or modify user accounts

  1st, I tried almost every fix suggested on this relatively common problem with no joy.  It is not a virus, unless it's something very new not found by all the usual scanners.

  Only way to access the programs EXE is to run the command prompt by going to with CTRL - tour of the new task (run) in the Task Manager menu and then navigate to the appropriate directory and run the program from the command prompt.   Run virus checker and run various registry fixes recommended here with no joy.  Safe mode does not help with the launch of the EXE.

  Because I get the 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.  When I try to run an exe from a link, I think I have lost the user privileges.  But, since I can't change the accounts of users or the restore, I can't try to do anything there.

  This problem occurred after uninstalling several old unused programs followed by performing a disk defragmentation.  (everything is done using Microsoft System Tools).  PC worked after doing these things in vain after the next reboot.

  Curiously, I CAN start the web browser from the start menu to post this message.

  Another clue: I can't start programs by clicking on them, but I CAN run the program by opening a file type associated with this program, i.e., opening a file named text.doc will cause Word to open.

  I am a fairly experienced user, but I'm stumped.  Any suggestions?

  Found solution...

  Looked user accounts change program but cannot find or identify it was so impossible to try it.

  I was finally able to identify (in trial & error) the restore program and run it using the command window.

  The program (rstrui.exe) was found in C:\Windows\System32\Restore\rstrui.exe

  I was able to run and to restore to a date when this problem started and that fix.   Still don't know what was the problem of the root but happy to be able to fully use this PC back again.
   
  Thank you to everyone who made suggestions.

• 'Lost' admin user account - cannot use the system restore

  We have an old desktop running XP Media. At 6 accounts on - account admin 1 parent, 4 other named accts (non admin) and 1 guest (non admin)

  The system is somehow now starts only showing 1 user account - non-admin one child one.  In management of the computer (administrative tools), accounts are but are not accessible.

  Have no idea how to access / info. Unable to use System Restore as one account stated is a non-admin one.

  Can someone help, please? -have been Googling for a few hours now :(

  As a last resort, you can try the following procedure:

  "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

  Which essentially restores the registry from a backup copy kept with the files in system restore.  In part 2, select a dated folder until you have had this problem to copy the registry of the.  Personally, I find it is easier to start from free Linux Livecd like Knoppix , in which case you can start the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux and paste to copy files to their desired location.  Live CD of Linux has no problems with dealing with the status of "Super hidden" System Volume Information folder.

• Help! All files on disk of data lost after deleting a user account in Windows Vista

  The data are very important to me. Help, please

  ARO

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I appreciate that you try to recover the data after the deletion of the user account in Windows Vista.

  Since you've already deleted the user account, you would not be able to recover the data.

  However, you can use any third party to the data recovery software.

  NOTE: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Loss of user account settings

  Lost my user account settings. Now start up with very limited features and white blue screen with some icons. Need help to restore the original settings if you please.

  Hello

  This is probably due to a corrupted user profile causing to logon with a default profile, did you see a message to that effect? Corruption could be simple damaged files or due to the partial failure of hard drive.

  The first thing you can do is backup all data of the suspect profile to another device as memory stick, USB hard disk or enternal. It is where the hard drive is faulty and you need to protect your data against the possibility that it will fail completely.

  Your data will be most likely contained in the folders under C:\Documents and Settings\, for example if your login name was Martian, the issues will be

  C:\Documents and Settings\Martian\My Documents

  C:\Documents and Settings\Martian\Desktop

  C:\Documents and Settings\Martian\Favorites

  etc.

  Of course, there is nothing store you your data in non-standard places, with whom I can't help except to advise to search for him if you don't remember where are these places.

  Once your data is safe, you should check the status of your hard drive, see...

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265

  .. .the hard drive manufacturer will likely utilities perform drive diagnostics too.

  Finally, if the disk hard drive remove OK, creates a new user and copies the data from your backup in the new profile, see...
