  Adding a user to a group (even a group administrator) is not necessarily grant the permissions of the user on the vCenter Server objects (data center, custer, hosts, VMs,...). An administrator may be able to access and change the settings of the vCenter server. However, the permissions on the objects may need to be configured separately.

  Hello

  It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

  First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

  Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

  If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

• Cannot change the settings on the computer. No access to the administrator account

  Original title: I can't access permissions to change settings or programs.

  I can not access permissions to change any settings or programs and do not have access to an administrator account, I tried what allows one but you must have admin permission to do so. Please point me in the right direction, it seems that Ive tried everything. ID realyy don't want to spend money on software

  Hi Christophe,

  -With which user account you have connected? It is a standard user account?

  -What happens when you try to change the settings? You receive an error? In the affirmative, please let us know the exact error message.

  Since you are not able to create an administrator account, I suggest you to enable the built-in Administrator account.

  1. you must start the computer by using the Windows 7 installation media.

  Follow the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-system-recovery-options#what-are-system-recovery-options=windows-7 to enter the recovery options in Windows 7.

  Note: See the manual of the computer to change the Boot order in the BIOS and set the CD/DVD as first boot device.

  2. Once you start the computer by using the Windows 7 installation disc, follow the instructions on the screen then go food Advanced Options and select command prompt.

  In the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yes

  After the command finishes, restart the computer and then log on to the administrator account by default, change the account type of the old user account and make as administrator and check if you are able to change the settings.

  Follow the steps in the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-a-users-account-type to change the account type of the user account.

  Once you have set the administrator type account with your user account, disable the default user account by following these steps.

  1. login to your user account.

  2. open the command prompt, type cmd. exe in the run search and right click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator.

  3. type net user administrator / active: No.

  This will disable the built-in Administrator account.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Lost for the administrator account password.

  I created two accounts in Windows Vista, an administrator account and the other a basic user account.  Unfortunately, it was a long time ago and I hadn't used the administrator access is some time and I forgot the password.  Now I can't access all the functions that require administrator rights.  Is there a way to 'reset' of the administrator account or create a new account administrator without initial password?

• A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

  I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

  1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

  2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

  I hope that makes sense, thanks!

  To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

• I want to reset the administrator account

  I want to reset the administrator account on a used pc I got for my children, how it's done on xp?

  If you mean you want to reset the password, then the best information that Microsoft will allow in this forum is in the following article:

  "Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/189126 >

  Since you recently acquired this computer, by far the best advice would be to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows on the computer.  This way you won't have to worry about malware (or anything else you want to see your children) which may be present on your machine.  Most of the machines OEM (HP, Dell, etc.) can reinstall Windows as part of a "System Recovery" press a key designated when the first splash screen appears at startup.  You must be quick, however.  If it is not an option, go to the manufacturer's Web site and download the manual for your machine which should tell you how to reinstall Windows.

• XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

  Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

  You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

  Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

  You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

  For XP Home:

  You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

  For XP Pro:

  Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

  Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.

• 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.

• How to use the administrator account on the laptop?

  Hello
  Can any body tell me how to find my administrator account on my laptop the girl in order to be able to use the control feature parent? 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. That's why my daughter has changed the setting on this old laptop by creating an administrator account for herself and a standard account for myself. After that I came home and knew I told my daughter to give up the administrator account to me. However, what does my daughter has created a new standard account for herself and remove an administrator account. So, for now, there is no administrator represent that old laptop and I have the right to the administrator to make a change.

• Unable to get the administrator account.

  I changed my password (without the backup disk) and now I can't access my account admin or make updates.  Is it possible that I can get the password set to day for I can put?

  Syed, is simply not true. Vista (and Windows 7) has means legitimate integrated for the OP to enter its system, which do not require a password for third-party software cracking and therefore who works against the rules of the forum, Ms.

  "Connieongeek" - 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:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  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 a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. 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 there may be more that you want to do. 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. 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).
