  • run as administrator does not work after you use netplwiz to change the name of the account

    Hi all

    I used netplwiz configure Auto loging in one of the accounts. While I was doing this, I changed the name of the account.
    This action was simple and easily accessible.
    However, after record change and restarting the PC, I can't use the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR option more.
    This means that I can't install or update any program now. I also can't run netplwiz or any other installation program more so I'm not able to reverse the name change.
    The result is always the same and I can not yet take a screenshot so I took a picture: http://postimg.org/image/71lzyigwr/
    Another problem - I have only a wireless keyboard so I can't use safe mode.
    Is it possible to fix this?

    Here you:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before you changed things.
    6. Once completed, plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Running Windows with a single administrator account takes a lot of unnecessary risks.
