Stuck on the admin account, password seems to have been changed after my dell frozen

I am the administrator of my computer and am stuck on my account, the password changed one day a few weeks ago after my computer froze for about 15 minutes. I was the admin acct, after he defrost it worked very well. I was stopped for the night and when I tried to connect the am password no longer works. I'm able to get in the other two accounts on the computer, but I can't let anything like that or system restore because I need the admin password.  I have a lot of music and pictures here and I really don't want to lose all of it.

Provided if you have a Vista DVD disc or repairs.
If you do, use this tutorial

Regain access to your admin account using system restore
Excerpt:
Important note...
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 logging has managed for the account of the problem. In addition, this isn't a problem if you are in a domain environment because the domain administrator can always reset your password.

  • Password error cannot have been changed to my Windows password

    I just change my Windows password.  At the end of the process, I got a pop-up message that maybe encountered a problem and my password may NOT have been changed.  I received an e-mail in Outlook that my password has been changed, etc, etc, etc.

    My concern is if I let Windows and that I'll be able to recover using my old password or my other?  If not, where should I go for Windows help if I can't get into Windows?

    Original title: change password

    Hi Denny,

    If the computer has a different user account which is administrator, you can still use the other account to reset the password of the account of the Moose (administrators can force change other user passwords).

    If you are the only user of the computer, I always recommend that you create an account additional administrator on the computer that can be used for recovery or emergency situations.  This must be a local account that is not connected to a service account or by email online.  For example, on my computer I log in with my Email account, but there is also a "shawn administrator" account on the computer that has a simple password.  I've never used this account, but it's there if I need it.

    So if you are involved (or even if you're not), I would create a local account on the computer as an admin full.  You're not likely to need it, but if you do, this will prevent you from becoming locked.

    Hello

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • Does anyone know why the e-mails from a server have been removed after the upgrade to Windows 7 (Windows Live mail) to Windows Vista (Windows Mail)?

    Or can I can return to windows mail to collect emails?

    Thank you

    [Moved from comments]

    It is likely that he was not prepared to leave a copy on the server, so by default it deleted messages on the server after you download the WLM.  This is my point of view on what happened anyway.

    Old Windows Mail messages should still be there.  They were previously under c:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail under local folders (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm).  I think the upgrade leaves a Windows.old directory and you can try to look into it.  What you want are eml files which are messages.  Alternatively, you can use my free ceml (www.oehelp.com/ceml/) to view them.

    But you will not be able to retrieve them from the server, if they have been deleted.

    Andou...

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

    The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
    I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
    Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
    Thank you

    According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

    The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

    As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)

  • Remove the admin account, just standard account available

    Some time before, I created an administrator account and a standard account and gave both a password, then, I deleted the admin account, completely forgetting to turn the other standard account to an admin.

    Now, whenever I try to do something that is beyond the power of a standard account to, Window Vista with ask me to type a password to admin, but there is no place to type the password. The box to type in is not there!
    When I tried to turn my standard account in an admin, to create a new account, or nothing to do with an account, Vista will ask me a password that I can't provide and have no where to give to command prompt to activate the hidden admin does not work too.
    If anyone can please help me turn my standard account now to an admin! Urgent!

    Yay! It is resolved! Thank you very much! So that before I posted this, I tried to find the safe mode option, myself and the possibility to press F8 just wasn't there! Then I got stuck there... Thank you very much!

  • cannot access the files of another user with the admin account

    I'm on a computer with Windows Vista 64-bit home problems.
    I normally have the computer configured to connect automatically to a non privileged user and rarely use the admin account.
    Recently, I downloaded an update (Finally, more like a relocation to the latest version) and realized that I need the admin account to install properly for all users that UAC would make things a royal PITA with a zillion prompts.

    I quickly disconnected and logged in as admin. Then, I realized that the installation file has been stored in the "downloads" folder in my regular account.
    Worse still, I could not access this folder, or I couldn't tab of future security. All I could do was to 'change the property' to my admin account, but I really didn't block me on these issues. Even from Explorer using "run as administrator" gave me problems, although the DIR command in cmd.com would be the list of people.

    I used the "change user" function to log my account regular and checked the Security tab and saw that the "Administrators" Group had already read and checked 'total control '. Why can't access the admin account? As an admin with XP, I had free access to everything I wanted to leave that I wanted.

    What happens if I was a parent and wanted to check to make sure that my child was not software piracy or download illegal music that would get stuck with the fines because I'm his guardian? How would I go about checking his records?

    What happens if I was an employer at a small office using working groups and wanted to ensure that the employee was not downloading pornography?

    How can I use the powers of the administrator to access other files (regular) user?
    Why do I still need to ask this question? It was automatic under NT, 2000, XP and the various servers at least as high as 2003.

    I found the problem, it was ANOTHER problem with Norton Security Suite for Comcast.
    I uninstalled and did not only to release 100 GIGABYTES of space, my boot time has been cut to a quarter of the former time, and this problem has disappeared.

  • 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

  • No access to the Admin account

    I have recently reinstalled Windows and I screw up the user names. This is what is stated in the users folder. All users, default user, Default (hidden), longsorr (grayed out), Public (grayed out), UpdatusUser. It should be default user, D..., my guests. When I was asked for the username during installation I gave longsorrow, thinking he was talking about the computer, time of elderly people. I tried to fix this and now got D... longsorrow. I also I created my guests and that is not the case on the list. Finally, I normally mode without fail get computers Admin user account and my account, what has not happened. Only the accounts show where d... and my guests. (Oddly, my guests is on the front line and not my user account.)

    Is there a way to fix this mess? I read Fix-a-corrupted - user profile and a guide for the recovery of lost password Windows 7 Home Premium user account, impossible to connect, connection problem. The problem is that I don't have access to the Admin account. Please do not suggest to reinstall Windows for the 4th time. :)

    Original title: Hi I have a windows 7

    You must be at least one account Admin on the PC.  It's just the way that Windows 7 works.

    The account that you used to make the new Admin account must also be an administrator full - account only administrators can make new accounts.

    Of running Windows 7, it is recommended to use a user account Standard for all daily activities.  In addition to that, make two password protected administrator accounts & write passwords.  Make a password reset disk for each account on the PC.

    On the removal of Maxewell girl - the account is deleted [this is possible by an Admin]

    1. go to the daughter of C:\Users\Maxewell's and copy all the files of this user that you want to continue

    2 using Control Panel, user accounts, manage another account.

    3 you can then remove the entire Panel Contorl system, advanced system, Advanced tab settings user profile, select user account profiles - settings button - then click on the button Delete

    4. go on girl C:\Users\Maxewell's and verify that the files are deleted

  • Can I default to the Admin account of a SE GBA without a recovery CD

    Hi - I have a soultion ACS 1111 engine. I used it mess autour with but now need to return it for store this need to default to get rid of the admin account. A TAC engineer, told me I can do the CLI but did not say exactly how.

    Is it possible to return the unit to the default settings of the CLI or what I need to get my hands on a recovery CD? The device is running 4.1

    Thanks in advance

    DOM

    You cannot restore the default configuration in the SE of the ACS. He had to use the recovery CD to recreate the image on the device.

    When you use the recovery CD or the orders:

    Attach a DB9 RJ-45 adapter to the serial port of the console.

    Configure your communication of terminal emulation software to run with the following parameters:

    •Baud = 115200

    •DataBits = 8

    •This = N

    •Arrete = 1

    •The control = None

    •Borne = ANSI emulation type

    You cannot set the password to "setup":

    ACS_Console > set admin

    Enter the old password:

    Enter the new account name: administrator

    Enter the new password:

    Retype the new password:

    Error: password must be at least 6 characters long.

    Does not all or part of the name of the user account.

    Contains characters from three of the following four categories:

    * English uppercase (A.). Z)

    * English lowercase characters (a.. z)

    Base 10 digits (0-9 paper)

    * Non-alphanumeric (for example,!, $, #,)

    If you provide the guy new username/password current, it could reset it using these commands:

    -To set the name of the administrator of the ACS, use the command set admin:

    Set admin [administratorname]

    -To set the password of the administrator of the ACS, use the set password command.

    If this is not the case, there was also the recovery CD to reset the password.
