Need permissions in Win 7 to take possession of the corrupt administrator (user) account

I have a corrupt administrator user account that is only available in safe mode, at the command prompt.  I created another user account that gives me the Windows interface and I'm now trying to "own the administrator account to copy my files to my new user account."

I am not able to access or change anything from anywhere or management; (Registry, other user accounts, other folders or files, properties or fields etc.) due to the restrictions on my PC.  I tried to use the takeown.exe tool, but I'm not sure what should be entered in the command line.  I read on the parameters to TO, but do not seem to get any results.

Your advice is appreciated... Thank you!

Since you were using the command prompt window when you created the new user, I just assumed you have made using the command:

NET user newuser * / add

where 'newuser' is the name of the new user?

Did you also give this privilege to administrator newuser entering control:

net localgroup administrators newuser / add

While logged as administrator?

It would be necessary to perform the actions that you are trying to do.

HTH,

  • Take possession of the key to register via command line

    Is there a way to take ownership of a registry key without having access to the registry? Editing the registry is disabled, I could activate normally using command line, but I don't have permission to change the key. I was wondering if so there is a way to take possession of the key by command line, so I can set the button to activate the registry change.

    Give this extract a whirl:

    ... If the registry editor has also been disabled, you will not be able to run registry changes to fix the rest of the problems, then you must first activate the command registry editor run.  Even if the registry editor is not broken, these commands are safe to run.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

    Tracking Add HKCU/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

    Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

    Now try your registry editor.

    Hello

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • How to take possession of the hard drive since the upgrade to Windows 7?

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.

    Unfortunately I can't access all the files on my old hard drive that is on my computer as drive E, nor I can access all the files on the external hard drive USB either. He says that access is denied. These readers are related to my old account on my XP system who crashed and died.

    How to "properly" take possession of these other drives on my new Windows 7 system?

    Previously, I tried to do with my user name on the Windows 7 system to have all permissions. It does not work. It changes the attributes of all files and folders on my other readers but once everything is done, I still have the same problem and I am unable to access it.

    I also tried to use a program called "edit permissions" and who did the same thing and I still have the same problem. No method worked.

    Please Microsoft, you designed these operating systems if please explain to me how to take full ownership and control hard 'MY' in my XP system discs so I can access all the 'MY' files and folders?

    Thank you.

    John

    1. In 'My Computer' (or simply 'computer' now), click on the drive and choose Properties.
    2. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
    3. On the owner tab, change the owner to be your username (you will need to search for and select your user name).
    4. Apply the new owner to "all subcontainers" (all files on the disc).
    5. Click OK until all of the settings are saved.
    6. Try to explore the disc again.
  • Take possession of the System32 folder

    I have problems to install things like Visual Studio, the GPU drivers, printer drivers, file transfer from desktop to a folder on the desktop do not let me use or delete the new file, update Windows Defender and who-knows-what else that gives me an error immediately. Understood the problem with the GPU drivers by taking possession of the 'pilot' and 'DriverStore' files in the System32 folder with 'Appropriate' in the context menu. My old PC is running the same OS without any problem at all.
    Tried to buy permissions System32 the usual way, but I get an error. For the "pilot" and 'DriverStore', I used the context menu. It works, but it gives me the permissions (Administrator) AND I (users) defines as the owner. I just want to have permissions to change (installation, etc.) things and let the owner of the same. Now, the owner is not the same thing in other folders. SYSTEM and TrustedInstaler all the way with different permissions for them. Generally 'Users' have 3 permissions, 'Administrator' has 0 permissions, 'TrustedInstaler' has 1 authorization, "CREATOR OWNER" has 0 permissions, 'SYSTEM' has 0 or each authorization. Sometimes, there are even my username with 0 permissions, but especially it is not at all here.

    I already tried to solve crash Visual Studio start in a forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/silverlight/en-US/7703213f-6977-4e51-a4ea-8c2835b5d383/visual-studio-2012-express-for-desktop-crash-after-startup
    but they pointed me here. Now, I know for some that this mess of property is the problem in all.

    1. is it safe to take ownership of the whole System32 or even Windows folder?
    2. how to set full control in permissions without getting an error?
    3. as a last resort: if I format my HARD drive and do a clean install, will this problem persists? Or is there a way to prevent it from happening?

    1. is it safe to take ownership of the whole System32 or even Windows folder?

    -> No, this isn't. This could destroy your system.

    2. how to set full control in permissions without getting an error?
    -> You do not because he didn't need to. To install the software, right click on Setup, then click "Run as Administrator".

    3. as a last resort: if I format my HARD drive and do a clean install, will this problem persists? Or is there a way to prevent it from happening?
    -> It's a perception problem that does not exist when you adopt methods applicable to the installation of a program.
    In other words: leave the Windows folder and its subfolders only.
  • Cannot take possession of the hard drive Partition

    I have a partition on my hard drive to store media. OS is XP home SP3. For some reason, I didn't have full access to certain folders on the partition so I tried to change the permissions for the entire score. I don't remember exactly what I did, but the main thing is that I have more access to the root of the partition. (I can always access all files using the file Explorer). I tried to appropriate the partition via the safe mode and the administrator account, but it won't allow me to take this way. I also tried to merge with the c drive partition using partition magic, but I had an error half way through the process. I suppose that the permissions would not happen. I read on the internet that "you can always take ownership' and I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

    Can someone help me?

    Manually apply permissions to a file or folder, follow these steps. Manually apply permissions, it's something that only advanced users should do because you could end up with unexpected results.

    1. right click on the file or folder and then clickProperties.

    2. click on the tab Security and then clickchange.

    3. If you want to set permissions for a user who is not listed undergroup or user names, click Add, type everyone in the name of the user or group, clickOK, select permissions and then click OK.

  • Need a home WiFi router, which takes in charge the NAT Loopback

    Hello

    I need to buy a new router that supports NAT loopback so I can access internal LAN servers of other customers of LAN by using the public URL address (external).

    Ideally, I would like to talk to services to customer or technical, but support at an alarming rate, Netgear make that available. It makes me seriously concerned by the lack of technical support and maybe I wouldn't even go with Netgear in these first impressions. In any case, let's see how this investigation goes first.

    So I need a cheap home router, which offers a good reliable fast WiFi connection like wired connection, IP and of course NAT loopback address reservation. Oh, and it should be on sale in the United Kingdom.

    Thank you for your thoughts people!

    Hello

    First stop of VMware Workstation, then go and have a look at the folders where are stored the your virtual machines.

    It is likely that you will see some .lck .lock files or folders. Which ones you will see (lck or lock) depends on the version of your VMware product.

    Delete these files (move them to another folder if you are more comfortable with it), and then return to VMware Workstation.

    Reopen the virtual machines and chances are big enough to make them work as they used to be.

    Good luck!
