My mac won't let me access my administrator account

Hello world

I just bought a macbook pro a week ago and I have currently updated to OS X El Capitan 10.11.4. So here's my problem. Last night, I changed the name of my administrator account and tried to activate the user to guess account. Then I closed my mac and went to bed. This morning when I open my mac the log in window appears as usual, I enter my admin password and connection user guess window pops up asking for a password, sign in. I try to play by clicking on the icon of the user to guess, then a message pops up saying "this computer will restart to a secure system of Safari only for the user to guess." So now I can only connect this system only safari and cannot access my administrator account. Please help me, I need to connect to my administrator account as soon as possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey trqhien_1605,

It seems that you simply log on to the guest user account, and then you can choose your administrator account and log in as usual. Here are some instructions on registering your account:

Close the session

Choose the Apple menu > Log Out. If you don't want the application windows you have currently open to reopen when you reconnect, deselect the option "reopen the windows when you log in.

If your Mac is set up for multiple users, other users can connect once you disconnect.

OS X El Capitan: log off, sleep, restart and shut down

    ·        What is the error message when you try to change parental controls?

    ·        Have you been able to make any changes on this computer from your account earlier?

    You can follow the steps below and check if you can make changes to the parental controls on your computer.

    Step 1:

    Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result. Access the link below and follow the steps to disable UAC.

  • Windows 7 won't let me access the files (my documents, my downloads), but the programs work very well!

    Currently, I am running windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop I built. My computer starts up fine, no problem when I connect and I can run all my programs like itunes, security suite norton, chrome, Picasa and Microsoft word work completely fine. There is no problem to save things on Word view my photos on Picasa (which is on the C drive) or by playing songs on itunes (which means that I can access my hard drive through programs), but when I try to open the downloads folder, it shows a popup that says: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "and does not open the file. The problem is that I AM the administrator account on the computer! However, when I open things in my libraries such as My Documents or my music, there just a blank page, saying that I have no files in this folder, but I have files in all of these files: photos, all my music itunes and documents.

    The interesting thing is that I can save documents to the word to My Documents and it will be displayed at the beginning, but when I close the My Documents window and reopen it, the file disappeared and the folder is 'empty' again.

    Currently. I have 2 hard drives connected, a seagate 1 TB and a supplement of 250 GB. Both of these drives appear in disk management, so that the computer knows and is able to see are how many gb on them. Apart from this recognition, when I open the start menu and press computer, it only shows my USB and my CD player, nor of my hard drives. I know that computers are connected correctly as they hum and dry as usual. I am very worried about what is, be it a virus, bad connection, settings that have been changed for any reason any.

    Please help me understand why Windows 7 won't let me access my files through programs, but not in Finder Windows, I have very important files on this computer that I can't lose!

    Windows 7 has a feature of self defense which is a pain.

    He doesn't like files from other computers,

    Right-click on the folder and select properties and see if there is a release button.

    Repeat for external drives.

  • XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

    Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

    You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

    Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

    You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

    For XP Home:

    You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

    For XP Pro:

    Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

    Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.

  • Created 2 standard user accounts and now the admin account is inaccessible. How to access my administrator account?

    I have Vista Edition Home Premium.  I got the account administrator and only called 'everyday', which were both available on the Welcome screen.  I was usually you log in to the admin account for my daily use of the computer, but realized that it was a bad idea.  I created a new account, he made an admin account and called "administration".  I changed then the administrator account, I had used so far for a standard account and named it 'everyday', which makes the account would connect you to our daily use.  Finally, I created a new standard account called 'secondary' for my husband to use.

    Now, when I turn on the computer, only accounts that I am able to connect in the Welcome screen are 'everyday' and 'secondary '.  I tried to find articles that would already be answering my question, but good solutions I've seen do not work or are not completely suitable for my situation.  I know the administrator account exists, I don't know how to connect to it.  How can I access my administrator account now?  Things like system restore and cmd / 'run as administrator' failure because I don't have privileges admin so I can't even begin to perform these tasks.

    Any help is appreciated!

  • I'm unable to access my administrator account. What should I do?

    I'm unable to access my administrator account. I accidentally downgraded two other accounts that I had standards. The account that remains an administrator is only a back-up, and the password it's forgotten. I tried repeatedly to enter the passwords I have used before and it didn't work.

    I tried several methods, including the run as administrator command line, but it says that my access has been denied. I can't go into Safe Mode, either. My laptop makes one beep when I press F8 during the restart. I can't download software to help me. I am unable to run most of the system, including System Restoresettings. My laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium, model Lenovo idea Pad N585.

    Is this what can I do to become an administrator? It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me solve this problem. I'll provide more details if they are needed.

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your system repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Set Windows to a point before you downgraded your admin accounts.

    If you do not have a CD to repair system, then you will need to ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore.

    P.S. A spare admin account is a great idea. Use for experiments, for example in downshifting, is doomed to failure.

  • I can not access my administrator account.

    I created two accounts on my computer an os win xp, administrator of one and the other. My computer does not show me the two accounts on the login screen so I get no option to connect to my administrator account. It automatically goes on the second account. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    Under normal circumstances XP Home does not have the single account defined to be anything other than an administrator account. If she did, then you might get caught in a situation that requires an administrative account to rectify but do not have a.

    If you need an account to access for some reason, you'll be...

    Create another administrator account, after which you can change "Mr. Hernu" to limited

    ... or...

    Create another account limited

    On behalf of Mr. Haroon (or any other administrative account) must be able to all the administrative tasks, including adding or remove programs.

    I hope that clarifies your situation.

    For your information, there is an administrator account in XP Home called Administrator, but it is only accessible by starting in safe mode. I wouldn't recommend using this account for anything other than to emergency situations.

    In regards to your problem of disk space, 20 GB is virtually nothing these days. I'm not surprised that you run lack of space. Will help to run Disk Cleanup (start - all programs-Accessories System Tools), but that might only postpone the need for a bigger hard drive.

    Please follow my previous advice (I added to edit) about the issues you are experiencing deletion of programs.
