My administrator account disappeared when I created another account

I recently bought a refurbished Windows XP computer. I used it at home. Previously, I had not created additional user accounts. I had been using the administrator account that my own user account. But I wanted to create additional accounts with limited access to resources.

I created an account called James. I had not yet learned how to restrict privileges, James was a default Administrator account. I was going to change that later.

But here's the problem: my administrator has disappeared. It does not appear as a choice when you start Windows. Also, when I use James, I have only limited access to resources. I had installed Microsoft Office, for example, but cannot access these programs. Furthermore, I can not access all my files from the user.

What can I do? What happened to my administrator account?

Try to start safe mode and see if your original admin account exists. There should also be a third account admin without password (if you want to use this account to your problems just press ENTER when you are prompted for a password) which is only accessible in Mode without failure. See below for instructions.

  • .PNG footer CSS disappears when I create the new template file

    I have a .png background image in my CSS footer which immediately disappears when I create a new template file. If I just save the template in the .html file, it works fine, but defeated the purpose of the model. the .gif in the sidebar CSS is implemented in exactly the same way and works very well.

    Here's the CSS to the template:

    .twoColFixLtHdr #footer {
     background:#768E90;
     padding-top: 12px;
     padding-right: 30px;
     padding-bottom: 0;
     padding-left: 0px;
     background-image: url(../Images/kc-png-footer.png);
     height: 62px;
     background-repeat: no-repeat;


    Here is the CSS of the .htm file that is created from the template:

    .twoColFixLtHdr #footer {
     background:#768E90;
     padding-top: 12px;
     padding-right: 30px;
     padding-bottom: 0;
     padding-left: 0px;
     background-image: url(Images/kc-png-footer.png);
     height: 62px;
     background-repeat: no-repeat;


    The two direct file links are below:


    Here is the page that was created when I went File > New > from the model (notice it is no white .png background image in the footer):
    http://www.kidscountpeds.NET/01-KCP-from_template.html

    Here is the page saved as .htm to the .dwt file model (note the background image of white footer with RADIUS corners, that's what I'm trying to accomlish with model): http://www.kidscountpeds.NET/01-KCP-template.htm

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    According to the code you show, DW does exactly what it should be done (assuming the child page is at the top level of the site).  But when I browse the site and look at the code, I see that there are several links that are broken.

    {.twoColFixLtHdr #sidebar1}
    float: left; / * because this element is floating, it takes a width * /.
    Width: 200px; / actual width of this div, in browsers comply with the standards, or the standard mode of Internet Explorer includes the padding and border in addition to width * /.
    background: #d0e4a6; / * the background color will be displayed for the length of the content of the column, but no further * /.
    padding: 0px 10px 15px 20px;
    background-image: url (file:///C|/Websites/Kids Count/Images/kc-mc-background.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 420px;
    }

    ...

    .twoColFixLtHdr #footer {}
    background: #768E90;

    Obviously, a link to an image on your hard drive will not work on the web.

    What you have in the field of Local site root folder in your site definition?  Is - this - C:\Websites\Kids County?  What happens when you open the child page and apply the template directly on it with MODIFY | Models > model apply to the page...?  Is the CSS code on this aspect of the page as I have shown above?

  • Need help! DuplicateMovieClip AS2: duplicates disappear when new duplicates are loaded... why?

    Hi all

    I apologize if this question has already been requested and replied, but I have yet to find so I am posting this in the hope of finding an answer.

    I do a drag and drop using AS2 in Flash CS5 where mc elements are duplicated and enlarged from a menu of game and can be placed anywhere on the stage to create a custom robot.  Each Party (arm, head, feet, etc.) it's own mc with unique instance names.  I have the drag and drop part all understood, and I even work part duplicateMovieClip...

    HOWEVER...

    Whenever I have pass the frame class that an object has been duplicated, in another frame, then again, the clips disappear one by one if you try to create a new.  Each list of menu items are in their own frames (head, torso, arms, etc.).  That duplicates are made, they remain on stage no matter what framework you go to and can still be dagged autour, which is good, but as I said earlier, they disappear when you create a new duplicate.  Not all disappear at the same time, only more old created duplicates disappear as you bring new duplicates.

    Why is this and how would it be fixxed?

    Judging by my tracers, it seems to me that the depth is reset to 0 while the new framework is loading... I don't know how to get around this. Is it possible to add some sort of control looking for existing duplicates before you create a new?

    Here is the code that I use for my parties (instance names are the only thing that changes) (I changed the name of the instance to mcname for simplicity)

    This part is added only once.

    var num:Number = 0;

    var buttonID:MovieClip;

    It is added for each object, but on the main timeline and no purpose and is added to executives that the objects reside in.

    mcname.onPress = function() {}

    buttonID = mcname.duplicateMovieClip ("mcname" + num, num ++);

    trace (buttonID + "--a was created");

    buttonID.startDrag ();

    buttonID.onPress = function() {}

    trace ("dragging currently-->" + this ._name);

    this.startDrag ();

    };

    buttonID.onRelease = buttonID.onReleaseOutside = function () {}

    this.stopDrag ();

    };

    };

    mcname.onRelease = mcname.onReleaseOutside = function () {}

    buttonID.stopDrag ();

    buttonID._xscale = 150;

    buttonID._yscale = 150;

    };

    It's probably as you say.  The value num is resetting when you re-enter the framework.  Try to use...

    var num:Number;

    if(num == null) {}
    num = 0;
    }

  • While creating a new account, my own disappeared "computer administrator account.

    When I created a new user account for my girls, my own family's missing "computer administrator account. Everything that I have now is my "acct kids" who says it is my "admin acct comp' now and all my icons, Favorites, all is gone and can't find it. I didn't delete it, I don't think. When I go to remove user accounts, it isn't here either. I made a password for my account before it disappeared however. Can I retrieve it somehow like that? I'm so disappointed.

    It is a feature, not a bug.

    Windows XP has a built-in account named "Administrator" (without the quotes).  The design idea was that you should only use this account for "emergencies" and not to use it on a daily basis.  This is because that the accounts of users, sometimes, be damaged, it is useful to have a verified account with full administrative access that you can use to fix things.

    To "enforce" this idea (or at least to encourage users to follow), as soon as you create a new account with "Computer administrator" privileges, Windows XP hidden administrator on the Welcome screen.

    The administrator account is still there.

    If you have Windows XP Pro, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice during to the home screen when you are logged on all accounts.  You will get the "classic" logon window  Enter Administrator as the user and the password defined.

    If you have XP Home Edition, you must start the computer Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key just after the restart.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long to start typing and have to start over.  You can use this method without failure for XP Pro as well.  Once Windows starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account appears on the Welcome screen.

    You have two options at this point: (1) make a new "computer administrator" account for your everyday use and copy to administrator stuff (and then let administrator not used except for emergency situations) or (2) create a "computer administrator" account that you will use that with the exception of emergency situations and make administrator appear on the Welcome screen.  I suggest you to option (1).

    (1): see "workgroup" mode here--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 account 'Administrator' you used is the "corrupt" account the "new user profile' is the new account that you create which has"computer administrator"privileges and you will need to log on to an account with "computer administrator" privileges to do all this - which can be the 'kids' acct (which, depending on your position, does not have these privileges).

    (2): make the administrator account visible on the homepage: http://www.theeldergeek.com/missing_administrator_account.htm
    C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT allows you to make a backup of the registry before start you.

    Note: once you have things under control and have a spare part "computer administrator" account, regardless of how you choose to do, I suggest you do your children has a "Limited user" account to limit the amount of malice, they are able to do (of course, if they are more than 8 years they will be able to find a way to work around this problem).

    I created a separate administrator account and can't get it to appear at startup.  I need to send my Macbook repair and need this ID to show when they turn on him. How do I do that?

    If you added via the preferences system/users and groups, it should appear as a long time that you have set the display of connection to appear. To do this, go to System Preferences/security and privacy. Then check the check box turn off automatic connection . This should show the login screen at startup. You may need to click the lock (lower-left) icon to unlock the setting to check it out.

  • Administrator account appear in the logon screen when the computer starts in normal mode, and there is also another account on the computer.

    I use Windows XP. I start my computer and I see an administrator account on the logon screen. I wonder why this account appears. I checked in the Help Center and he said that this account do not appear when I start Windows Mode without failure or when no other account does seem to accept the guest account. But after all, I never start Windows Mode safe and I also have another account on this computer. So why do this administrator account appear and how to hide? I thank.

    Why my Muse formatting does not disappear when I open the site in DW CS6? I need to change the PayPal shopping cart code to account for my shipping options. I exported the Muse test in a folder and then created a new Site in DW with the help of this file, so all CSS should be there, but I don't see on the page about the elements without formatting, any stop to the left. Thank you!

    PS: Muse will be the most impressive program ever when they fix these bugs or drop because not every user will be paying through the nose for Business Catalyst. Grrrrrrrrr.

    Best approach would be not to use the PayPal widget and instead copy and paste the PayPal code embedded in an object > object to insert the HTML in Muse. This way you can edit the HTML code to embed PayPal code from Muse and without having to modify the exported code.

    The system hides the built-in Administrator account on Windows XP Home Edition when you create a second administrator account and she is only available for use by visiting Mode safe.  You can copy the profile of the account administrator part of your new account.

    Follow the instructions here: to copy a user profile

    Note that you can not copy a profile to or from the account that you are currently connected, if you want to copy the user profile to user B, you must be connected with the C & C user the user must have administrator privileges.

    How to restore an Administrators account that was accidentally deleted before the creation of the new Administrators account?  Windows XP

    I have another account directors, but it changed right before user privileges.

    Windows Xp has a default Administrator account that are visible only in safe mode when a new admin account has been created. Cannot delete the administrator account by default no matter what you do. When you remove a user, and then you get these options on the screen:

    (a) delete files
    (b) keep the files
    (c) cancel

    If you have selected a) then the files are well and truly gone. I'm sorry. However, if you selected option b) then you will be able to see the profile in C:\Users folder.

    Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted to choose an account select administrator. Re-create the user profile.

  • Administrator account is disabled - system 5 error when trying to access

    So I created a user account with administrator rights because I had problems with other accounts of user download of malware and viruses on my computer.  Unfortunately, I've changed the password one night when I was very tired and now draws a complete blank on what it might be.  Time has passed and I have tried everything I can think enough to know that I'm up a Creek trying to remember this password.  After that some searching around, I learned to start safe mode to access the hidden administrator account, which does NOT produce the hidden administrator account.  Then I read about access to the cmd as administrator, but that doesn't work either because he asks me the password I don't remember.  If I try to run cmd with "net users administrator / Active: Yes", receives a message indicating "system error 5 has occurred, access denied.  Same thing if I try to enter "net user *", and then click the password twice to clear it.  I know that I have set up with administrator access the user account is different than construction administrator b/c if I go 'lusrmgr.msc' in the search/run box on the start menu, then clicking on 'users' I can see that they are two separate accounts.  When I click with the right button on the built in Admin and select Properties, it shows a check in the box "account is disabled".  If I uncheck this box, I gives me the error message "access denied."  If I try to go the other route and check the "account is disabled" on the user account that I set up with administrator access, I gives me the same error.  If I try to delete the setting of administrator group of the user account that I set up with administrator access I'm access denied once again.  All this is considered... other ideas or tips? I read somewhere that apparently since I created a user to have admin access, hidden admin is disabled by windows automatically for safety.  I really hope this isn't the case!  I'm very hesitant to use a tool to reset password to a third party if I have to, but I'm running out of options and it's been months.  I appreciate any help, tips, reviews, etc.  Thank you!

    You cannot administer a computer unless you are an administrator.

    The built-in account is disabled if there is another admin account.

    There is no way around it, or it would not be safe.

    Don't forget the computers are not safe during execution.

  • is it possible to give all administrator privileges to another administrator account other than the original administrator account?

I was then going to use my new administrator as the main account. I tried to install and update to an application and he said I have peut not be able to download all the updates, because the original was the one that installed applications. So in a sense, there are some applications and programs I am not able to change, delete, or update.

  • my daughter has created another account and does'nt remember the password would close the account else completely off cannot figure out how to do it please help

    Please help me understand this

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • How can I copy the user created in the administrator account?

    Hello

    I would like to ask what can I do? When I installed Vista Home Premium on my computer, I created another user account! I have configured my PC how I like it! With all the parameters that I need (research, programs, etc...) I don't want 2 user account, but I can't remove the administrator one! (Now, it's empty, nothing about this)

    So, how can I copy all my settings, remove the user and a user account?

    I hope I was understandable! :)

    Good day!

    Hi Muzsika,

    I don't know what you mean, so I'll just say what I think is your problem, and then respond.

    Problem: I have a standard account I have all my files in and have customized this account. I have an administrator account that I don't use. Because I can't remove the administrator account, I would copy the standard account for the administrator account and remove the standard account.

    The answer is: change the standard account to an administrator. account, and then delete the other admin account.
    How to change an account type to administrator: (necessarily using the account admin.)
    1. Open a user account by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, click user accounts, and then clicking on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. Click on the standard account and then click on change the account type.

    3. Select the type of account you want, and then click on change the account Type.

    Original title: my administrator account has disappearred and I have password protected it.  How can I reformat and reinstall windows7 without administrative privileges

    Hello

    To reinstall Windows 7 you start either from the recovery disks that came with the computer or those that you have made since the partition of recovery according to the manufacturer's instructions; or the recovery of the manufacturer Partition, or by downloading the ISO file and the indications that follow below in this post.

    None of the methods above should require an Admin password.

    Here's more information on the above:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    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.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    Or download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.

    And Neosmart has instructions on how to burn ISO disk images using imgburn:
