restoration of administrative rights

Hi, pls help me. I have accidentally limited myself. Cannot get the control as an administrator and my thesis is blocked because I can't print, send, copy, or paste. Help

Here you go:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your system repair CD. If you do not have one, ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore. It takes less than five minutes.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before downgrade you your account.

I feel that you are running a high risk program. To avoid more serious accidents, you need to do this:

  • Create, test, and document an alternative admin account, of same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
  • Buy immediately a 500 GB drive backup in case of USB (about $50), then set up a regular backup routine, for example a week. If you don't there is a high risk that you lose your thesis for good. Accidents happen, computers get stolen.

    Hi vc.

    I then this Windows security and users of the Forum where experts may be able to offer a less radical solution.

    For example, you tried to activate the hidden administrator account (it cannot not thought to change (if he could)) and it might be possible to use it to restore things to normal (depending on what has been done) in a much simpler way.

    There may be other options too (or a relocation can be justified) according to what has been done and which means "my PC is a mess."  Could you please provide more details, including your operating system?

    Thanks and good luck!

    OT: Without administrator rights.

    I don't have my active administrator account.

    I had a user account that I removed myself from the group administrator.

    Now I'm locked to do anything.

    I can't assign me to the admin group, I can't allow the user to administrator, I can't edit some files or delete some software...

    I can't open the recovery mode, tried to start in safe mode and all the rest.

    How can I get the administrator rights on my user account?

    I had a user account, which I removed myself from the group administrator.

  • Administrator rights removed by child.

    I gave my son administrator access to the family computer because I was tired to enter the admin password whenever he tried to start a program that requires administrator rights. He returned the favor by removing my password and change my account to a standard user account and will not give me the admin password so I can reset the security, because he knows he will lose the privilege of admin I granted him permanantly. Short of wiping the hard drive, is there an easy way to get started with the installation CD and replace the security file to access again? or am I better off to reset the computer to the restore point where I gave him access? I want to teach my 12 years that it is not more intelligent than his old man! I just want to really see the expression on his face when it starts the computer to see 'standard user' next to his name, because he was so proud of lock me out, and it's something that can't happen. I need to be able to inspect the computer and see what kind of * it is to enter in.

    Use your Windows repair CD to start the computer in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to a point before the password has changed.

    Then, you will need to plan ahead a little. Giving the one and only master away password seems a little myopic, that's an understatement. Create, test, and document a spare account right now, and then create a regular account for your son.

  • A user in domain local group administrators is not administrator rights

    Trying to figure out what the problem is with the computer of a friend at work.

    When you connect as long as domain user that is part of the local Administrators group, the user looks like he doesn't have administrator rights. For example, they are unable to create files in certain folders, etc where you wait for only admin to be.

    If the computer is in safe mode, then everything works as expected.

    If the same newspaper users in another machine on the network, while everything looks ok.

    It just seems to be on a machine that he has problems.

    All local group settings look ok and permissions on individual files look ok - and they work in safe mode.

    This is a friends working machine, and for now, he tries to avoid his reconditioned machine to work around this problem. There is no restore point for him to try (it's out of our hands). We tried a number of things right, but nothing was any use so far - other than to try safe mode, but we do not know how to use this info.

    Any advice on how this track more would me much appreciated!

    OK, now that we are talking about. The files you mention are all the system folders. They enjoy special protection under Windows 7 to prevent rogue programs to do things behind your back when you are signed in under an administrator account. It goes the same for the root of C:. You can create folders here, but you cannot create files.

    Here's the question.

    I have an Asus all in one type of windows desktop PC 8. I improved this standard to professional.
    There is a local user account, who somehow lost administration rights. This is obviously a problem, because I can not access several functions of the computer, including a critical application of the work.
    There is no other user accounts on the pc to connect to the standard administrator account that I suppose is disable by default? As I don't see it.

    Thank you!
    Hi, I know I'm a little late to the party, but I found this post faced a similar problem and thought that post my findings.
    I found a work around for this problem, which does not require a reinstall of Windows, but you may lose your user account.
    Summary:
    The problem is that in Windows 8, the administrator is inactive by default, you will have to find a way to activate it. You can activate the admin as an admin account, however. Fortunately, (on my machine anyway) it seems that you can access your hidden from the Safemode administrator account. If your first set of objectives will be as follows:
    -starting in safe mode
    -Log in as an administrator
    -l' administrator, enable the account administrator similarly.
    -Restart your machine and you as an administrator outside of safe mode (normal mode).
    From here, you should be free to do what you want. Now that the admin account is active, you are allowed to type a password when prompted (by default that the password is empty). For me, however, when I tried to promote my previous user administrator account (among other things) I noticed symptoms that seem to indicate that the account ceased to exist. I went through measures to set up a new account and get it synced with my microsoft email account.
    -Create a new user account
    -give administrator rights
    -remove my old (for some reason, hidden) account
    -Sync to the top of my new user account with microsoft e-mail account.
    Directions for use:
    How to get admin access:
    (1.) start in safe mode. You can make it easier by opening a command prompt (Start menu-> type "cmd"). And type "shutdown/r/o".
    2.), your computer begins to restart, but give you a set of troubleshooting options. Choose troubleshooting->-> start of the Advanced Options settings.
    3.) after reboot and enter safe mode, users of contactor by going to the start menu-> click on your user name-> and choose administrator.
    4.) Windows will begin the first initialization for this account.
    5.) once connected, open the command prompt, this time as a Director. (Make a right click-> Run as administrator).
    6.) type "net user administrator / Active: Yes" to set the admin account as 'active'. It will now be shown outside of safe mode.
    7.) restart your computer and log in as administrator again. You can now add users and to play with the permissions etc. (metro options are not available in safe mode, where the reset).
    How to remove your old account of 'lost' and synchronize your new account with the microsoft account.
    1.) create a new account via the control panel users. Don't forget to give you administrator rights.
    (2.) to remove your lost old account by typing "net use /del" in an administrator command prompt. You need to know your old account name, good luck with this one.
    3.) go into the settings of your pc: open the context menu on the right-> settings-> "change PC settings."
    (4.) to go to the users-> Select 'switch to a Microsoft account» tab
    I hope this helps!
  • Removal of administrator rights

    Hello

    If I delete my account Admin rights after you create another admin account, in order to continue to use my ex-admin account now for everyday tasks, will I have problems?

    So, to summarize:

    (1) create an admin account for changes in the system etc.

    (2) remove the usual account administrator rights (let's call it "Account BOB," for example) which, until now, had administrator rights

    (3) continue using BOB account for daily tasks

    Purpose of the entire operation: ad extra security level.

    Thank you!

    • Administrator: an administrator can add and manage other users, install applications, and change the settings. The new user that you create when you set up your Mac is an administrator. Your Mac can have multiple administrators. You can create new ones and convert standard users to administrators. Don't set up the automatic connection to an administrator. If you do, someone could simply restart your Mac and access with administrator privileges. To secure your Mac, don't share administrator names and passwords.
  • FAQ (27): the SDM requires administrator rights to run?

    When I launch SDM, it happens with this dialog box. Is this normal?

    Yes. SDM requires administrator rights because it requires the appropriate rights to update or apply SoftPaq updates to your computer.

    The above message appears only if UAC (User Access Control) is turned on and that the user doesn't have administrator rights. For more information about UAC, please visit this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control

    UNFORTUNATELY, the SDM version 3.5.0.0 (later from this post) has a problem where it wrong will not recognize the user as administrator if UAC is enabled.

    If you have the SDM version 3.5.0.0, have active UAC and you are logged on under an account that has administrator rights and SDM displays the dialog box above, please note that this is a bug found ONLY in the SDM 3.5.0.0 version and will be fixed with the next version.

    In the meantime, there are two solutions we can suggest you to work around this problem:

    (1) Although not recommended, you can disable UAC and reboot for the changes to take effect. We do not recommend this approach because UAC protects the computer against attacks. We include this option only for purposes of completeness.

    2) RECOMMENDED WORKAROUND: Force MDS to start with administrator right.  To do this, please follow these steps to work around the problem, until a new version of SDM is available:

    1. Open Windows Explorer.
    2. Go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Hewlett-Packard\HP SoftPaq Download Manager. Note: If you have a 32-bit operating system, navigate to C:\Program Hewlett-Packard HP SoftPaq Download Manager.
    3. Right click on the file "SoftPaqDownloadManager.exe".
    4. Select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.

    Hello

    As far as I know that this application is not shipped with the image of Toshiba and it s not made not part of the image.
    But I put t see any big problems. You will need to change your account administrator rights. In this case, you will need to ask someone the admin right to edit your account.

    The other possibility is to change the law for this software. There can be changes as by admin. What you can change in the Security tab in the program properties. Full control must be set to all.

    Then, it should be possible to use this application with your account.
