No administrator by an error account?

Me and my 2 kids are the only people who use my computer.  When you configure their accounts I changed somehow my type of administrator to the user account.  Now, I find myself with no account that is set up as an administrator.  I can't install programs, run ActiveX controls, etc., as there is no account to choose when the permissions window appears.  In the account settings, I can't change them, because again, there is no user account to choose when the permissions window appears.  The window opens as he normally does, but I can't put a password to allow the action unfold.  I tried to activate the hidden administrator settings back to fix this, but the new user account control permission pop-up window when I try to run the command as administrator prompt and me cannot go beyond it.

The first thing to try is go to Safe Mode. If there is no administrative user on the system, often the (normally disabled for security reasons) built-in Administrator account will become available. If it works for you, in Safe Mode, you will see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen. Login and make your changes. Refer to general recommendations below.

Go in Safe Mode, press the F8 key as the computer starts. This will give you the right menu. Use your key to select Safe Mode, and then press the Enter key. If this does not work for you, please post back and I'll give you the next steps.

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 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.

  • I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, now I can't login as administrator

    I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, as I had 2 accounts of users, two administrator accounts. Now I can't login as administrator. I can't find the administrator and any other accounts show that when I try to switch users.

    If you have seen that the users you listed: that's all nothing.  If your account was listed as an administrator, then it is what it is.  It does not change when you restart the system.  ;-)

    Initially, you said that you have CHANGED your limited user account:

    I changed my account from administrator to a limited account user, as I had 2 accounts of users, two administrator accounts.

    Given that, you didn't have and still two active accounts.  If your account is displayed in Mode safe (when you connect as built-in administrator) as an administrative level account - it still is.

    Was able to go in the control group/user accounts. He was the administrator, my account administrator and one guest account haven't turned on do not.

  • CANNOT PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGE TO THE ACCOUNT

    HI GUYS

    I REINSTALLLED MY WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM WITH THE HELP OF MY RECOVERY DISK. WINDOWS CREATES A DEFAULT ACCOUNT WITH ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES. BUT WHENVER I DOWNLOAD SOMETHING ON MY PC, I SAID THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PRIVELDGES TO PERFORM THIS ACTION. EVEN WINDOWS IS UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE, IT CITIES EVEN REASON.

    PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS ISSUE.

    Go to start / Control Panel / user accounts and check that it is said administrator under the account name that you use.  If this is not the case, he is not an administrator account.  See if itwill allow you to click on manage other accounts (but can refuse you because you are not an administrator).  If you can find any account that said administrator under the name.  This is the account that you need to connect to make the necessary changes.

    If you have no other Admniistrator accounts on your system, enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you forgot the password or all the passwords you use usually do not work, try anything as long as it's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Use this account to replace the other administrator account and also to create a second account administrator in case of emergency.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    original title: error problems Media Center Pinterest account

    Windows Media Center is not allowing me to connect to my netflix account. I get "ERROR ACCOUNT: there is a problem with your account." Please sign in again". I log out and try to connect again and get the same error on several machines.

    Can I use IE9 to see netflix with no problems.

    I called Netflix to see if it was something wrong with my account and they said that everything was in order and that they were getting a number of calls on the same subject. They also said that they have no connection with the plug-in and it is managed by Microsoft and sent me to this website.

    So now I'm here.

    Anyone else having these issues? Anyone know of a fix?

    Thank you.

    There was an update that went down yesterday but I have not tried Netflix on WMC until this morning and it works!  I also noticed that it works much faster than before.  So, if its on the side of Netflix or Microsoft side or together, I'm glad something worked!   Thank you!!  PS next time please better coordinate.

  • The page you are looking for is not available. You may need to contact your administrator with this error: 404 Page not found.

    I am at a loss.  I've set up a root certification authority to sign all servers in my workspace of Horizon, SAML is in the Green and after a lot of reading when troubleshooting also synchronized on all my ESXi hosts and guests.

    Basically, what I did is the following:

    Set up the connection to the Server VMware View Horizon 5.2 - created different pools and can connect via the customer different platform. (a few times to eliminate any possible configuration errors along the way)

    Configuration of VMware View Horizon Workspace 1.0 (a few times now) with self-signed and CA signed certs.  My workspace appears fine, the synchronization of files, apps work, and view pools appear.  When I try to launch your desktop from inside the Horizon workspace I get this error:

    The page you are looking for is not available. You may need to contact your administrator with this error: 404 Page not found.

    Now I think that I followed it down to something to do with SAML connection - which, to my understanding, archery chips between workspace and view.  On the login server, I see it in the Windows event log:

    BROKER_USER_AUTHFAILED_SAML_ACCESS_REQUIRED

    SAML access required but not tempted by customer

    Attributes:

    Source = com. VMware.VDI.Broker.filters.SamlAuthFilter

    Time = MON may 20 16:06:41 MDT 2013

    Gravity = AUDIT_FAIL

    Node = ViewConnection.access360.ca

    Module = broker

    Recognized = true

    Something is not crossing to allow me to access my office view since the workspace of Horizon.  If I remove the requirement of SAML on the login server see, when I try to connect to a desktop computer from the view connection server I get a promotion for and can I get my IDs & field and have full access with reviews, as well as blast HTML - just cannot get there with Horizon Workspace.  There must be something that I am missing with SAML...

    As I said, I'm at a loss here on what does not work between the Horizon workspace and the connection of SAML for display to connect to the server.  There is no server security, server transfer, and firewalls is all off, so I don't think it's a network problem.  Simple as possible.  The Windows Journal event displays the login displays server error is: access required but not attempted by client SAML.  I have all my servers synchronized after a few seconds - so I don't think that documented the TIME Horizon workspace synchronization time sensitivity is responsible here.  I am Pack overnight, but will do exactly the same thing with a client of tomorrow - hopefully without the same result!

    Any ideas?

    So I re-deployed the VAPP (again!) very attentive as I went.  As usual, the initial database installation failed because I entered my domain FULL of the gateway name, so it does not match.  After useful messages already there for this (Workspace install fails with error creating the user admin) I used the wizardssl.hzn of connfigurator - going to recreate a rootca to the environment based on my FULL domain instead of the bridge - going and then let it grow all for the other vApps.  I then connected to each and pulled down my private rootca and ran c_rehash, etc. (another useful message!- adding MS signed Certs to Horizon Workspace & laquo;) Carlos & #039; Corner) I actually use my background to UNIX and openssl to be my own private CA and sign all of my certificates.  I created the SAN cert and added to the SSL configuration on the Configurator - going and connector - going.  Oddly enough, both of these server do not appear to be accepting SAN cert that includes their ENTIRE domain, but that's for another day... My Horizon Workspace FQDN does show as being approved by installed RootCA private (which does not have other DNS names for the service - going, the Configurator - goes, the data - will and the connector - will, but as I have already said--a battle for another day) so it's a good thing.  I joined my workspace to my domain name - well!  Activated would be pools seen in the Configurator - goes - sync - good.  CRT for the my display login server has accepted and implemented the SAML trust.  Still good.  Sync in my opinion users group who already had a couple of linked clone pools allowed to do.  Good.  Connected to the FQDN of my workspace and clicked on computers - seen my 3 pools.  Clicked on one and after a few seconds, launched in a new window of the explosion.  Success!  I disconnected and connected on a different machine, and something that I saw before, but doesn't have a lot of attention to was the connector - will put 'use windows authentication', I couldn't understand why every time I sailed on my Horizon workspace a no vmware window opens asking access my FQDN:443 with a user and pass.  It is this setting - duh.  I'm not sure yet that gives me, so it's off for now.

    Thanks for all the input: it's good to know that there are others with some of the same questions.  It's still v1.0, it is related to some of these pitfalls.  It is capricious with derived from same time less than 10 seconds seems to have a negative impact.  Had to ensure my ESXi servers were strong (never worried a lot in the past with MS AD being quite tolerant with small derivatives) I tired my vApps affecting a NTP, but they seemed like being left to the default of synchronization to the ESXi host.  See how than pans.  CERT is somewhat capricious depending on your deployment.  Of course the connector - will and the Configurator - must be signed by a CA that they are internal, but always be nice to then have signed internal...

    Now, I'm on ThinApps for desktops as well as the web interface integration.

    I bumped my head against the wall with my first configuration of Citrix XA and XD (before having VDI in a box!) and it was the best way to learn.

    I don't know that I grave along that I finished my PoC, but I'm very happy with today's results.  I still plan on the comparison of my logs successful with the logs I have pulled my former deployment TIME and see what it was that it was broken.  I think it was that wanted me a PTR record to my domain FULL DNS MS. name  I think I just had the direct search for the original bridge - will and FULL, but only a setback for the gateway domain - name.  Would explain why I was never able to connect to the gateway to access your desktop.  Oops.

  • 8, no access to the administrator of the Windows account to all the

    Serious problem.
    I tried a lot of things, and that's what I remember to have done:

    It all started when my user account (Administrator) on windows 8 appeared with an error so I couldn't connect.

    The system connect as a guest instead.

    Then, I created a new normal account.

    Then I activated the build in the administrator account.
    I thought I solved the problem, I have not. But I have disabled the build in the account of administrator again.

    AND NOW, I can't get turned on again because every time I try to open msconfig or commando promt or such it ask me the password on the first account, with the error. SO I'm totally lost here.

  • E-mail ERROR account

    I just launched my new website and when I add a specific to this site e-mail address, I receive the following message

    This email has been the old e-mail address of my client and now he loses all the messages!

    ERROR.jpeg

    ERROR-2.jpeg

    If you coiuld please help me?

    Hey guys, I found a way to fix many of these problems. Well, it worked for me. I hope it will work for others.

    Problem #1: "of the error for this user account Details can only be updated through the site where it was created first."

    Solution:

    1. Sign in to the administration console with the user name and password for the e-mail account that you are trying to install.
    2. Place the cursor on the name of the users towards the top right of the screen. "Eric Platt" in my case.
    3. Click on "my details".
    4. Change the "Default Site" drop down to the site that you use for e-mail.
    5. Click Save
    6. Try setting up the account to e-mail again

    Problem #2: No activation e-mail / password setup email

    Solution: After you create the account email to a current site administrator and you do not have (I never have) not received the email, it is said that he sent, follow these steps.

    1. Sign in to the administration console with the user name and password for the e-mail account that you are trying to install.
    2. Place the cursor on the name of the users towards the top right of the screen. "Eric Platt" in my case.
    3. Click on "my details (NOTE: you now have a link for"Web Mail"that works, but this isn't the point of this).
    4. Change the password (you can change it to what it was immediately if you want). This allows to synchronize the email with the password admin password.
    5. Now you can connect to the webmail (e-mail. YourSite.com) or window Outlook, Mac Mail, iPhone etc...

    I hope this helps others avoid stress I've experienced!

    In Windows Vista, you have the new feature called UAC, user account control. If it's on then whenever you try to do Admin tasks he will warn you though that you operate in admin account. If you want to use the administrator account, then make sure that user account control is enabled, check in the control panel in the Windows Security Center, if it is turned off it will show you.
