• Problems with the parental control on the administrator account.

  Never use us the 'administrator' account as I have not configured any other account (it was unnecessary since there are no children in the House).  Whenever I try to download a game, I have problems.  It will finish the download, but as soon as I try to start the game, it gives me an error message saying 'parental controls have prevented this application to run.  I don't know why it gives this error and won't let me in the game, since I'm on the administrator account and it wont let me make changes to parental controls for the administrator account.  Anyone know what is the problem and how can I solve this problem?  Thank you!!!

  Try to create another administrator account, and then connect to that account and try to change or disable the parental control for the administrator account.  I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.

  Good luck!

• Parental control on the Admin account problems

  A few months ago, I created a new account on my computer for work only.  I set the parental controls on the new account and only the work account.  I got by without my computer for work then off the parental control.  Now, I'm unable to download games without him asking for a password.  I don't know what password I had used since I don't end up need it and none I've tried have worked.  So, how can I, as an administrator, disable this feature?  I have consulted the parental control and done everything I have seen/read that was recommended, but it won't allow me to change the settings on my own admin account without establishing a second admin account.  So, how can I remove this feature from the admin, only the admin?  It does not accept any next to the admin account, and even then it won't take my password.

  I work at it for a few weeks now and tried everything I can think of.  Today I spent most of the day trying to get this thing to work.

  More details on what is happening-
  -I'm going to download a game on the net while connected to my admin account
  -Everything works until the final stage when he usually asks for a general permission to my antivirus
  -A pop up appears which reads: you do not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run.  You can run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as long as the current user.
  -Click on the current user and it closes, download fault.
  -Enter a password for the administrator and it says I have a user name or password invalid.
  -Enter my username and password and it closes, download fault.

  Can someone please help with this?

  Hello KS. GAL.86,

  Is the problem with the account of the work that you had created that has activated the Parental control? You can only configure Parental controls on a standard account and not an administrator account.

  If so, then create a new account that has not activated the parental control.

  Is the issue that you are experiencing that you can not download programs as an administrator?
  What is the exact error you get when you download a program?

  It cannot have anything to do with Parental control.

  Please answer back with more details and information.

  Thank you

• Help for the parental control on Vista administrator account

  Computer of my son is running Vista and I set parental controls in place through the administrator account, there a nonadministrator account.

  I changed the password after that we had a few problems with the controls, and now I want to change the settings again. However, the old password allows for parental control (IE, he allows his account access websites and bypass control, etc.), but when I try to access the administrator account, it says the old password does not work. When I enter the password, account says I don't have the login procedure and kicks back me to the main screen of Vista (where I take which account to enter).

  So, I'm stuck administering the account due to a conflict in the parental control passwords. If I try to reset the password, the computer ask me a USB stick with the old password on it information. It is a step that I did not.

  Any way to disable the administrator account? Or somehow remove/reset the parental control account access restrictions that I am experiencing?

  "when I enter the parental control in the non-administrative account, the system simply ignores the password that I entered"

  I suggest you read this info below on who has access to parental controls and how it works:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial139.html

  Link above has a very good tutorial on how to set up Parental controls.

• Place the Parental control over the Admin account

  I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

  Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

  I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

  Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

  Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

  If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

  Step 1

  Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

  Step 2

  This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

  Step 3

  Select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

  resetp

  Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

  resetpassword

  Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

  Select the user account

  and select

  Administrator (root)

  Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

  Select

   ▹ Reboot...

  in the menu bar.

  Step 4

  This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

   ▹ Disconnect...

  from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

  Step 5

  On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

  Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

  Allow the user to administer this computer

  You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

  Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

  Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

• How to disable the administrator account on web filtering

  I recently discovered how to use the parental controls on the standard account of my son, but I also applied parameters similar to my own account (which is the system administrator account) to prevent him from jumping on my account to visit questionable Web sites.

  Why can't get rid of parental control on my guest account!  It is said you can not set up parental controls for the guest account and yet when I try to connect it throws up of all these parental controls!  I watched & tried and tried again to fix it.  Very frustrated here, especially with guests coming for the holidays! I just set up a password for the guest account...

  See this and the 'related links' here and I hope that you find the answer. You may need to remove

What happened is I bought a new laptop for myself and intended to give the old one to my daughter. However, when I was at work my wife access to account on the old laptop then let my daughter use this portable old without disconnection.

• parental control my computer administrator user

  I am in the Parental controls control panel and when I click on the account that is a computer administrator, it does allow me access to the parental control. He said "Parental controls cannot be applied to your account because it is an administrator." and it gives me an option to create an account. I want that the parental controls on this account, is possible to go about it apart from creating a new account?

  Thank you!

  The administrator account cannot have the built in parental controls applied.

  You will need to use another program, such as Bluecoat K9 or Norton Online Family.

• Cannot delete the administrator account

  Hello:

  I am an administrator in Windows 7 and I cannot delete another account Administrator named 'test '. When I select the "test" account in the management of accounts, I get the list of choices:
  Change the name of the account
  Create a password
  Change the image
  Set up Parental controls
  Manage another account.
  When I click on my original administrator account, the list of options is:
  Change the name of the account
  Change the password
  Remove the password
  Change the image
  Set up Parental controls
  Change account type
  Remove account
  Manage another account
  The 'delete account' does not appear in the account of 'test '. So, how can I delete this account 'test '?
  Thanks for any help.
  Alex

  The "Test" account was probably the original ' administrator' account until you have renamed it. It cannot be deleted. You can find as follows:

  1. Click on the globe to start, and then type the three letters cmd into the search box and press ENTER.
  2. Type these commands and press ENTER after each:
     net users
     (to see a list of all accounts)
     NET user test
     (to see all the details for the test account)
  Anyway, as one admin account is a bad idea, even than having just a key to the House. What would you do if something was wrong with this single account? At all times, you should have two accounts admin fully tested and documented.

• try to change the mode of feeding for a user account, the instructions worked to change the administrator account, but changes do not appear on user accounts.

  On my HP 510 laptop, I want to change the power mode to one of the user accounts.  It cannot be changed of in the user account, so I followed these instructions: log in as administrator, do the selection desired in the list of available eating patterns (Control Panel, Power Options, eating patterns), click on apply, then log in as administrator.  I find that the selected power mode has been applied to the administrator account, but not to one of the user accounts. I tried to change in the user account, but still receive the "access denied" response

  I recently installed Microsoft Security Essentials. My reading of various internet stations indicate that some older antivirus programs may have hindered this process of power management. I was not able to discover how to inactivate Security Essentials, so did not try to change the mode of power without interference from her.

  Another indicated position of the potential interference of the BIOS settings. I don't know how to check if this may be the case. I have MS Windows XP Pro SP3 installed. I have automatic and current updates.

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

  Hello

  You can change the setting in see Group Policy for this document:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730920.aspx

  Or change temporarily the user to an admin account, make the changes and then return as a standard user.

• forgot my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put them on the administrative account? __

  I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk.  AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

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

  Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

• Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect, but immediately disconnected return.

  Original title: why my account automatically disconnect?

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect but then before he's even changed screens, immediately disconnect back.
  I can connect to it using safe and I ran Anti-malware, Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care and they have all come without any problem.
  Now, I guess I'm using an account with administrative privileges but different. I just need to open Windows Media Center, but every time I try, it says: I'm on the guest account. My machine won't let me create a new account, delete other accounts, or even to change the passwords. In addition, a random ASP.NET account appears and I can't remove it.
  I don't understand what I could do wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Jorgomli,

  1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to connect?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1:

  Because you can connect to the account administrator in safe mode, you can try to create a new safe mode administrator account and check.

  Check out the link:

  Create a user account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

  Step 2:

  If still face problems, then you can try setting the default Administrator account and check if you can solve the problem.

  a. click the Start button

  (b) in the Start Menu, click all programs followed accessories

  c. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option

  e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  f. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

  g. close the elevated command prompt.

  h. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  i. click the photo icon display built-in Administrator account and connect to it.

  If the problem is resolved, then you can create a new administrator account and check.

  You can try to create a new administrator account by following the link:

  You can also try disabling the default Administrator account using the command

  NET user administrator / active: No.

• How can I copy the user created in the administrator account?

  Hello

  I would like to ask what can I do? When I installed Vista Home Premium on my computer, I created another user account! I have configured my PC how I like it! With all the parameters that I need (research, programs, etc...) I don't want 2 user account, but I can't remove the administrator one! (Now, it's empty, nothing about this)

  So, how can I copy all my settings, remove the user and a user account?

  I hope I was understandable! :)

  Good day!

  Hi Muzsika,

  I don't know what you mean, so I'll just say what I think is your problem, and then respond.

  Problem: I have a standard account I have all my files in and have customized this account. I have an administrator account that I don't use. Because I can't remove the administrator account, I would copy the standard account for the administrator account and remove the standard account.

  The answer is: change the standard account to an administrator. account, and then delete the other admin account.
  How to change an account type to administrator: (necessarily using the account admin.)

  1. Open a user account by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, click user accounts, and then clicking on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. Click on the standard account and then click on change the account type.

  3. Select the type of account you want, and then click on change the account Type.
