• The administrator account has disappeared from my computer running Windows XP Pro. How can this happen and how can it be solved?

  I don't see that the clarification would help.

  To retrieve the getting started welcome screen (in fact, many people want to know how to get the system to the way you have it, on the contrary), see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/noautologon.htm

  Out of curiosity, use the command control userpasswords2 described on the link above and look at the list of users.

  You should have:

  • each account you created
  • an account named Administrator
  • an account named ASPNET; and
  • an account named comments

  You have these accounts?  Specifically, you have an account named Administrator in more the one named Admin?

  All Windows XP installations have a built-in account named Administrator.  This account should normally be reserved for emergency cases and therefore, is hidden in the home in normal mode screen once you have created your own user account (I don't remember if you have created an account with computer administrator privileges user, or if the creation of a user account allows to hide 'Administrator').  Although it is possible to rename the built-in account, doing so is not easy and not a good idea IMO.

• Administrator account has no password - how to fix this?

  I help fix a Windows XP Pro computer for a friend.  He got divorced and remove his ex-wife and son of user accounts.  However, as I understand it, there is a problem.  When you go into control panel > users there are now 2 users... Administrator and Greg (also a Director)... or has a password associated with it.   When the computer restarts the two icons seem to choose user... no password is required to continue.

  I think that something is wrong.  Should not the administrator user account has a password, even if other users are not?   Is not a security feature?   I guess someone has been playing with the accounts and that damn, but I don't know how to fix it.

  What we want to do, it's the computer starts without clicking on a user icon or use a password.  The user administrator account shouldn't like to be in the background?  Read somewhere that if you go in Mode safe that the original administrator with password user account will be there.    Huh?

  Tips are welcome.
  Thank you.

  It is not * necessary * that you have any password on your system.  It's * sage * have accounts level administrative camps, each with a password and use a non-adminitsrative level account for everyday tasks.

  I don't know what you read and where you read - but given your operating system - it is incorrect.  Combinations of name of user and password in Mode safe are the same as in normal mode.  In Windows XP Professional, you can see and use the built-in secure and normal mode administrator account.  It's Windows XP Home Edition, where you can only login as administrator integrated mode without failure.

  Really, you MUST assign a password to all accounts.  You really should create a new user to be used every day (not administrator).  You can set up an automatic connection to one of these accounts - I recommend the non-admin.

• My administrator account has been demoted to a guest account

  Hello

  MS Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2
  All the latest updates and hotfixes applied
  Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
  4 GB OF RAM

  I went to uninstall a program, a couple of days, and when they the UAC confirmation to enter a password, I could just click Cancel (OK is grayed and he had nowhere to type a password). I reset the computer, the same question. I checked my user account under control panel > user accounts and noticed that under my username, he said I was using a guest account (!). Problem is that this has always been an administrator account.

  I went to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users to check what was going on with the account. On the Member tab, it says that the only group I'm in is the debugger users. If I check that guests belonging to a group, only the default account of comments is a member.

  I reset the computer, press F8, and returned in the mode of repair to the system restore a few days ago. This solves nothing, so I restored in a week - the time I can be absolutely sure that I have confirmed successfully an action with the UAC as a system administrator. Still no resolution.

  Accounts administrator and guest of default have been disabled when I bought the computer and never allowed them. As I was alone in the debugger and not to the Administrators group users group, I created only ever this one account - so even in repair mode, I can't log in as an administrator to change the setting of user for this account group.

  Anyway to get this account to a point where user accounts see Computer Management snap-in see, it is to say, that I am NOT a member of the guest, but rather a member of the debugger user group (which I'm lead to believe is a notch below a hand full admin)?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi shehaal,.

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista.

  However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated.

  If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure.

  Sign in and then go to control panel > user accounts and change the account type.

  You can also try to create a new user account with privileges that the user account is damaged and check if the problem persists.

  Follow the link that talks about how to create a new account below:

  Create a new user account:

  1. click on the Start button and then click Control Panel.

  2. click on classic view in the left panel.

  3. double click on user accounts.

  4. click on manage another account to use.

  5. click on create a new account, and then type the name.

  6. choose the type of account as an administrator of the computer.

  7. click on create account.

  8. log off and log on with the new account.

  If the problem occurs, don't use this profile instead of the problem. Follow the steps below to transfer personal data.

  User profile of transfer:

  1. log on as the new user account (make sure that the user account has administrator privileges).

  2. click on the start menu, and then click computer.

  3. click the button hold in the upper left corner and choose folder and Search Options.

  4. on the view tab, check "Show the hidden files and folders" and click OK to save the settings.

  5. navigate to the folder C:\Users\(old user name).

  Note: The "old username" is the username of your old account. For example, if your old account user name is 'Larry', the folder must be C:\Users\Larry.

  ((5 copy all the files and folders in the C:\Users\(old folder user name) in the folder C:\Users\(new user name).

  Note: To copy all of the files, we can press Ctrl + A, then Ctrl + C in the folder C:\Users\(old user name). Then, navigate to the C:\Users\(new folder user name), click Ctrl + V. Replace with new files.

  You can also try scan SFC:

  The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  4. hit enter.

  The SFC scan should replace the corrupt files.

  I hope this helps you, good luck.

• The administrator account has no Admin privileges

  Work on the student computer with Vista HOME BASIC which was apparently an unknown virus. When you try to run the AV software (ComboFix, etc.), even from the built-in Administrator account, error message - "need administrative Privleges to run this software. Suggestions under little a complete reinstallation or a resumption of the plant?  Thanks in advance - Graye

  Tried all the foregoing, including disabling UAC, before activation and connecting the built in Administrator account.  Even so, some programs told me I had no administrative privileges when I tride to execute.  After working in this market and for several days, I have concluded that the problem was related to virus/malware and, given that I could not all my programs/utilities AV running, except those located on bootable disks (none of which were of no help), I simply gave up and did a factory restore on the computer.  Unfortunately I could recover some of the files of the student.

  A factory restore is probably your best option, but experts in a Vista forum might have some better ideas. Currently, you post in a forum for Windows 7.

• Administrator account has limited privileges

  original title: administrator account

  My Windows Vista user account is listed as type of administration.  However, a few changes to the program are not allowed.  Why and how can I obtain the unrestricted privileges.

  If you want to run a program with administrative privileges, right-click on the program, then click on "Run as Administrator". This will allow you to do everything you can do as an administrator. To completely disable user account control, follow these steps:

  1. on the start menu, click on 'Control Panel'. Then open user accounts.

  2. at the bottom, it shoul be an option "Turn User Account Control on or off". Until it clicks.

  3. click on 'Continue' or 'Allow' on safety messages. This will disable User it Account Control (UAC).

  This should solve this problem,

• Administrator account has been disabled and cannot connect at ALL.

  I own a 'HP G71-340US Notebook running Windows 7"and I'm trying to restore my computer completely (for delete). Then at some point when I turned on the computer a few days ago, it took me in the Recovery Manager, I couldn't do anything. I try to restore the computer like new and said, it will reboot several times. I let him, then I see an error saying that it cannot restore. I click Ctrl, Alt, Del and was able to connect outside of that. Then after that he showed what to connect to. I click on administrator (because I'm the administrator of this computer) and it says disabled account, see your system administrator. Then I click on another user, he gave me the opportunity to put a username and password, but it keep saying that the username and password is incorrect. So I turned the computer off, waited 10 seconds, then he tries to put in place like new, it took about 20 seconds and then a different error comes up saying, 'Windows cannot install, please restart to install. I did so many times that I think I messed up my computer. I can't even contact HP to the computer in the Recovery Manager, and I can't go to Safe Mode.

  Due: I got more than 458 Trojans, rootkits 2 and 0 viruses on my computer (as it is said when I scan the computer until errors have shown).

  And please do not ask about Trojan horses, I don't know how that happened on my computer.

  NEW PROBLEM: I turn on my computer this morning, it says «Set up as new computer...» "then he takes me to the screen host then within 20 seconds, he said that" windows cannot install and the computer must restart. " "I let it restart about 3 times and still nothing. I try to get into Safe Mode, but it won't load at all.

  The error of hard disk 1 is a failure code for the short test on the hard drive. This means that the hard drive is faulty or failed and must be replaced. Which may have been the reason that failed to install originally.

• Available sync key, but account has disappeared.

  I have my old key synchronization for the pre 29 Firefox Sync version.
  I have deleted the data associated with it a week ago. Is there anyway that I could restore the data?
  He made a mistake and I don't remember seeing a confirmation.
  The reason why I deleted the data was because I thought I lost my key but I had two and haven't tried the newest one.
  I don't know how to download the old version to use former synchronization and upgrade to the new, so if there is a way to restore the data, I would be very happy.

  EDIT: Fixed for lack of Titus.

  No, there is no "roll-back" on the synchronization server.

  What I read from other users to post here, you cannot reset the password for the accounts syncing older longer. After all, the old version of sync was just sitting there waiting for users to update their Firefox installation for 5 1/2 months now before is completely stopped.

• Ability lost access administrator account and create files (using Windows 7)

  Running windows 7, administrator account has disappeared and cannot access (it is listed as a user with permissions (mine has changed and he's been a user listed as S-1-5-21-3964978265-1859684145-9075597-1000 and finally managed to remove it (I think)) and the ability to create folders, or by clicking right in applications.)

  Clicked on what I thought, it was a reliable site, the message says that I had to update Flash to enter the site, after a large number of ads downloaded and changed my browser; I just uninstalled from this time, installed backup of the previous day and blocked unwanted applications through my Norton.

  I don't know if there is something else that is affected.  How can I fix it, my level of knowledge is limited on what I should and should not on my system.
  You can probably fix your problem by using the system restore. Here's how it works:
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  6. plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key.

• HP Pavilion 15 ak-025TX of game: Disabled administrator account invites to start but administrator Local account works Fine

  Hello!

  I have this little problem with my laptop where a prompt saying that the administrator account has been disabled after startup. When I click 'Ok', it brings me to my own account login screen and I can connect properly. There is only one account on the computer and that is mine, so I don't see why the prompt keeps appearing every time you start.

  Appreciate any help!

  Hey @HossanEpiques,

  Thanks for getting back to me with such a detailed response. I appreciate it! It allowed me to search a little further in the administrative account are disabled and where it might be from. Based on the process of elimination, it is my guess that more educated that the message comes from the operating system and not software, your specific user account or virus related.

  You don't create a different user account. It was just to try to narrow down the origin of the message. Whether the related software, related profile, operating system, etc..

  The first piece of information, I would like to share with you, is that even if you have an account administrator for you (one you connect to and use every day), it is also an integrated into operating systems Windows 'hidden' administrator account (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10).

  I found a great site that explains the hidden account and how to activate it. Good that this site is not affiliated with HP, here's a few documents for you: Activate the account administrator (hidden) on Windows 7, 8, or 10. You can decide if you want to try the steps or not. As I have not tested myself, I can't say if it will work indefinitely. I advise you to stay away click on any ads.

  The other option that you have in this case would be contacting Microsoft or reach out using their Microsoft Community Forums.
