no administrator account - cannot remove other accounts

recently to create new account on the computer form ym administrator accont and tried to make one of them administrator instead of mine. somehow, that didn't work now none of the administrator account, all are standard. I am trying to delete other accounts, but I can't because it is written enter administrator password, but it does not work. I don't have the fingerprint reader because I hated that and I can't put it back on because, once more, do not have the apparent administrator password to put it on. What can I do to create an account administrator or make it mine admin again?

Your post is quite dispersed and hard to read, but consider that most of the problem is that you have not all administrator accounts. The first thing to try is to start safe mode. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. 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 (password will be white) and then go to control panel > user accounts and make changes to the user to other accounts on the system. You can then follow the General instructions for setting up 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 whether taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) or a knowledgeable friend is the best solution for you.

If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled.

1. you will need to use NTpasswd to enable (disabled by default) built-in Administrator account and set a password to null (empty). Allowing this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so that you can then connect.

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Download CD (.iso) image and burn as an image, not as data. You will need a third party burning software. Then boot with the CD that you created and follow the directions. After you are done with NTpasswd, remove the CD and restart the computer. Log on to the administrator account that you enabled.

2. Once you have logged on to the built-in Administrator account, go to control panel > user accounts and make changes as you wish. I suggest making an account administrative 'tech': call 'Tech' or 'CompAdmin' - at this time there. See the end of this post for creating users in Vista.

3 log on the built-in Administrator account and CompAdmin. While in CompAdmin, turn off the account administrator 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.

Setting up 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 an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. 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 it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

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. 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). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    As you go now, having a spare admin account is a very practical thing - if you think of it in advance. Fortunately, there are many other options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:

  • How can I remove administrator account?

    On my wife's pc, XP Pro installation not finish us until we entered a user name (USERNAME). So now we have two administrative USERNAME and ADMINISTRATOR accounts, which means that whenever we have start or come out of their hibernation we must select the account to use.

    On my pc, there is only a MYNAME account (with administrator privileges), so I can start or come out of hibernation without going through the pesky logon screen.

    Any suggestions?

    You can't remove the administrator account, but you can hide it from the home screen which is probably what you have on the other computer. to hide the administrator account:

    1. click on start > run and type regedit and click OK.

    2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

    3. check if there is a value on the right-hand side named Administrator, if there is skip step 4 if he doesn't do not continue

    4 right-click right part empty on the right side and click on new > DWORD value and name it administrator

    5. double-click the administrator value and set it to 0 if it is not already

    6. close the registry editor

    After completing these steps you should not see administrator to the homescreen (except in safe mode).

    The 'administrator' and 'guest' account is integrated and cannot be deleted.  All Windows installations have a.  As you have discovered, it is not visible unless you start mode without failure.  The default password is blank for the administrator account (click top and hit at the password prompt).  If you are worried about someone access your computer using this account, then simply change the password.   This account allows you to take control of the recovery of your computer should you not be able to use your user name.

  • How to remove existing administrator account?

    Original title: deleting existing administrator

    I need to remove the existing administrator so that I can work on this computer. I do not have the operating drive

    Hi Charles,

    1. have you created existing administrator account?

    We should have at least one account of administrator user on the computer. To remove a user admin account, you should have another administrator user on the computer account. If you have one, and then you connect to it and delete the other admin user account.
    See remove a user account

    If you don't have another administrator user account, and then start the computer in safe mode to access the default Admin user account and to delete the existing admin user account. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. start your computer and press the F8 key to display the advanced startup options.
    Hit and b. Select safe mode enter.
    c. connect on the default administrator user account.
    d. remove the existing admin user account.

    Note: Can not remove the default administrator user account.

  • Cannot change the type of administrator account during an administrator account

    Hello I seem to be stuck with the normal start safe mode and tried several things without success.
    So far I used Safeboot/restart and restart with normal startup and "clean boot" method of
    following the suggestions on the Microsoft Web site. Also reset all services by default. Whenever I try to start a service, it gives me the error 1084: Windows could not start the Windows Service on Local computer error 1084: this service cannot be started mode without failure or error 1068 "the dependency Service or group could start. Only some of the services have actually begun. Also, I can't in some documents and files, such as Documents and Settings and Config.Msi. With the error "there is no location (path) is not accessible"access denied" Almost all set so that it starts in the service is stopped and does not let me start with the same 2 errors. I tried to use the Windows Defender update option after the beginning of his service and I come with error found: Code 0x8007043c. I went to check if I had administrative rights by setting account type for my account current (user) who says it's an administrator account already, but he said that it is standard. When I try to switch to administrator it just combines the button "change account Type". At this point I don't know what to do besides restore my registry. I can provide a few previous actions if you need. I don't think I'm going to tinker with things more far away, however, in fear of complicating it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't give me the option to the Windows recovery environment in the startup options (F8), although it could be F2 or F12, I noticed for another set of options to start the computer (Windows Vista Ultimate). Furthermore, after being not able to use the WIndows recovery environment, I just went ahead and used Directory Services Restore Mode. After doing this I used the system restore and restored to the last point that he had saved and it solved the problem - once he had fixed services. I want to note also that, File Checker (SFC.exe) system, fixed a problem I was experiencing a lot more before with my computer takes about 3 minutes to start. Now it is lightning fast. Thanks for the help, and I hope this helps others who have the same problem (s).

  • How solve 'cannot log in to my administrator account on Windows vista?

    I try to change my password in safe mode. but seems still does not...

    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:

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.

  • Cannot modify READ ONLY file attributes using the administrator account

    I tried the windows Explorer and a custom program called Directory Opus. I tried to create several administrator accounts, but not luck.

    I can't work with this existing problem.

    I need a solution.

    I have exactly the same problem.  Following the steps above did not work, folders/subfolders unchangeable rest.  I am the owner of the folder and subfolders.  I don't know yet how they became Read-Only to start.  Read-only on the individual files setting works correctly.  Changing the settings of file does not work.

    IMPORTANT EDIT:

    According to a message from the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    You cannot view or change the read-only or system attributes
    To summarize, Windows does not include system or read-only folders settings (he was aware of these properties on the FILES however).  Individual applications that you use cannot ignore the State of read-only on a folder and can give an error.  In my situation, an application was trying to create a new file in a folder that has been marked read-only and honored the RO parameter and refuses to try to create the new file.

    To actually change these attributes, properties menu will not work.  The KB source:

    • If you click apply changes to this folder only , the read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder. However, the read-only attribute is not changed for the folder, its subfolders or files in its subfolders. If you click apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files , the read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder and all files in the subfolders. However, the read-only attribute is not changed for the folder or its subfolders.

    To change these properties, the user must start a Terminal command line and execute the changes by hand, for example, this command:

    • attrib - r + s c:\test

    .. What will remove the READ ONLY parameter and apply the SYSTEM setting in the folder.  Once more, change the properties of files (including files in subfolders) works as expected with the right click - Properties-> Security menu.
