Out of the Blue, an administrator named account appears?

Hello

I hope that it's fairly simple to solve. I've been messing around with some file permissions delete some and adding others... and when I rebooted I noticed I had an another user account named Administrator and he asked me who to connect to. Now, I know there is always an Admin account and you can not delete the account, but so far he never arose and seems to be a new account.

I see the problem in the user account settings on my Windows 7 desktop. I do NOT see it in my portable Win7 so I know that it is not there. I'm concerned, it's a virus or something that created an admin account... is this possible?

If I'm doing something when playing with the permissions, what can I do to get rid of the named account administrator? I can't remove it and it has never been there before? :/

PS. I fixed it to where it is most requested which account to connect to, still do not know came the new account

Hi understanding (2),

Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community!

I understand that you are facing some problems with the administrator account on the computer. Don't worry; I'm here to help you.

First of all, make sure that you have at least one active administrator level account before proceeding.

You can disable the built-in in this administrator account running in a command prompt:

(a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click on command, prompt a click and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

b) type net user administrator / active: No.

It will be useful. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

Kind regards!

  • Failure of the user profile / administrative failure Account\Password

    Recently, my Windows Vista computer has encountered a problem.

    My main administrator account does not have to connect, and using my standard account side I searched and found the way to create a new administrator account and to transfer files.

    The problem is, I need the administrative password to create a new account and so forth, but when I enter the correct password it reacts as if it was a success, but takes no action.

    I rebooted and tried several times but it fails to answer in the course of any type the administrative password prompt.

    Help, please?

    Many thanks,

    Shannon

    I'm not trying to find my password or 'break' - I enter the password and it acts as if it has been accepted but takes no action. If I enter an incorrect password, he denies it and asks for the right one.

    I edited my post, it is consistent with the policy?

    Thank you.

    There is a possible LEGAL solution, but it costs on the following...

    1 yiou have a Vista Installation DVD or a repair disc.
    2. This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which login is managed on behalf of problem

  • Out of the blue my HP C4205 stopped the connection and is simply display offline?

    I just received this print by a friend that it is no longer used, replaced black ink and after you get the printer to recognize the new cartridge, it was good to go. Now a week later all of a sudden the printer shows offline and will not be a link to the PC at all. The printer still works even if, like the copy function works.

    Using my logical head I'd say it's the cable (I checked that it is plugged properly), but I know printers can be very finicky sometimes so hoped there was a way out of trouble before you go out and buy another cable.

    I use windows 7 32 bit, any help would be appreciated...

    Varial, have you installed the printer using the CD that came with the machine? If so initially, allows to run although the process of unistalling the printer and reinstlaling it.

    Start by going through programs and features, devices and printers and Device Manager and make sure that the printer software is completely removed, uninstalled or deleted.

    Then in the start menu, click RUN and type "%temp%" and press ENTER. In the folder that opens, I want to delete all the files and present records which will allow you to remove them (some will not allow you, and that's fine).

    After doing all this and restart your PC, follow the link below and install the software full control and available through the download of HP drivers:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-74842-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4062&product=3619474&sw_lang=

    Let's start here, and if that does not work, we will try other solutions. My next idea is to use a different driver than the one you have been downloading in its place.

  • Issue related to the creation of administrator user accounts

    I've recently set up a new password user admin account on my laptop. However my standard account still allows me to see the content without asking for the password. I'm doing something wrong?

    It depends on security context.  If you use a single account, but trying to access files stored on a user admin account, you will be prompted for a password.  If you don't want this, you can adjust the folder security permissions to give other access to the account.

  • Firefox asked out of the blue if I want to download afr.php - what is it?

    I forgot to take dumps of the document screen. AFR.php has been described as a text file and I thought I'd have a glance. However, firefox has warned it was a script, so I gave up the download. A hacker attack?

    > A hacker attack?

    No doubt. I can't say how or why it happened, but that's what I think:

    A malware has attempted to open a PHP script on your local system, and it seems you didn't have not a Web + PHP server install on your system, so that the script was not run, instead, Firefox is a file download and asked if you want to download it.

  • Lost 2 GB out of the blue

    Hello

    Yet once, more problems with the phone. I had 2.8 GB free in the phone memory, I made a backup by connecting the phone to the computer via USB and it was stuck so I canceled but the phone memory went from 2.8 to 0.7 GB. Any suggestion on how to fix it?

    Thanks a lot in advance and regards to the best

    Hello again.

    What I've done, is again the backup, as last time I told him he got stuck and had to cancel. Once the backup is complete, it is surprising not only recovered the previous storage memory (was 2.8 GB) but up to 3.6 GB. So problem solved. I just wonder how the hell were given in the order of GB that came and go...

    Thank you for all your quick help!

  • Incompatible cartridge... out of the blue

    My c4480 Phothosmart has always used only original HP cartridge, never filled, so now that I've installed several weeks ago, a new 350xl expiring 12-11 purchased from Amazon.fr. No problem until tonight when the printer has decided not to print due to problem of "incompatible cartridge". I removed the cartridge, being an XL on a rarely used printer that it's almost full, reinstalled, no change, still the message on the screen...

    I searched the forum and found I could try to clean the contacts, as we did before the chips have been added to the cartridge to prevent the user from using what they paid the printer, for now the screen says "missing or defective cartridge" (translation from Italian...

    Good thing is the important document I need for tomorrow morning has been printed, but I can't access any option with this message and I don't want to trash a cartride which cost half the price just printer because hp has decided that no impression is better than losing to compatible cartridges... I'm very unpleased.

    I already turned off the printer, unplugged, removed the cartridge and so on several times, I hope that you have better solution than what I read everywhere: get another printer, not from HP...
