System administrator

I have only one user on this laptop XP Sp3 and that the user is the administrator but I keep getting locked out of certain activities, telling me that I don't have access and contact the system administrator.  It is usually said "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator. "I have put no restrictions on this computer that I know.  Help!

XP Pro has group strategies that can handcuff even an administrator.  So Malware can sometimes impose restrictions to make it more difficult to get rid of him.  Some specific actions that do not work and the resulting error messages would help to diagnose this post more.

  • How to reset the password for the system administrator for Time Capsule?

    I need to do a system restore to 2008 MacBook my wife of my 2014 Time Capsule, and I'm stuck at the system administrator password prompt. It does not accept the password to base such as revealed by the Airport utility station > base station > show passwords on my MBP, which is able to save and enter Time Machine, even if the TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password. I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

    Although TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password

    You must use the right of the user and the password in this case. NOT the password from the drive.

    I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

    Reset complete... It will not damage the backups somehow... It simply returns to the default values.

    Let me recommend to you if you want to continue using the TC in this way... (useless IMHO). Please do an export of the configuration before factory reset you.

    With the help of user and passwords in the TC is near useless. It only affects the side of the router...

    If you need more security using encrypted backups... but the reality is... the security more you add less useful the backup is likely to be. As you have now discovered... When you need it... you need as clear and clear as possible.

  • Pavilion dv9500: How can I bypass the password of the system administrator

    My father died a year and a half, and my mother gave me his old laptop. It is not start completely. I have a DRIVER_POWER_BOOT_ERROR with a blue screen after trying to system restore it. I want to just at a time when it wasn't a problem or even factory reset it but I can't get into Windows because my mother does not know his password and it was the system administrator. What can I do?

    What I do is start with a flash MSDart drive and use the Microsoft Locksmith utility to reset the password.

    You have the choice between either find someone to do it for you or find the version that I pointed out in my previous post on your own. Sorry, but I don't do it for you.

    Hello Nickydwuk.  Well, it's a bit difficult to know exactly what is happening from your description, I assume you're raising steam when he asks?

    If you are uncomfortable with the head on registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

    Check to see if there is a key named DisableMSI.  If there is, and the value 1 to zero.  If this isn't the case, something is blocking the installation.

  • When I try to do something I like to get the permission of the system administrator

    Original title: system administrator

    I have no idea who is the administrator system on my computer, I am the only person who uses it, I admit, but when I try to do something I thought for the permission of the system administrator - how to find out about it?

    Operating system?

    In Windows Vista/7 - even if you were to log on as the built-in Administrator, some things you would do (such as installing an application or access to certain files or folders) require an elevation of privileges.  Maybe that's what you see.

    However, you chose to not reveal your OS for some reason.

  • Problems with Windows Update! ("some settings are managed by your system administrator"?)

    I seem to have problems with my windows update. Last week when I checked to see if updates were needed that I was unable to view them because he said that "some settings are managed by your system administrator" who won't let me change the settings and the display of updates. It's my own personal computer so I am the administrator. However, this week update windows begins to function normally because there was an update available and I managed to download it, but a few days later, the windows on the screen update returned to say that "some settings are managed by your system administrator. I did a scan for spyware/adware/virus recently and I had only a low risk of adware that was detected and deleted without modification with windows update. This problem started right after that I got a warranty of software installed by Dell, I don't know if what they did could cause the problem. The system I use is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Windows Update KB980248... prevents the connection from the system administrator

    I installed a Windows Update last night (KB980248).  After the reboot, I could not identify you.  He did not reject my password, but nothing happened after that I entered.  I tried going to user Accts in Control Panel to make changes, but it requires system administrator password and wouldn't do anything (Yes, I used the password).  I tried uninstall updated but asks password and it is nothing new.  Line botom, after installing the update, it would not load my password.  Somehow, I was able to restore my computer just before the update and now I am up and going again.  However, I'm afraid to install this update again.  Anyone with a similar experience?

    Well Mick, you were right.  I was somehow do a system restore (don't ask me how) and I restored it just before the problematic update.  Of course, my computer comes alive again and has helped with my password.  Well, my problem was caused by this update.  I guess I wonder why MS would send the update with this destructive power much in it?  Moreover, I have to follow my updates from that time to ensure I do not install this yet?  And I missed something valuable that the update intended to do?  Fortunately, I was able to complete the system restore before I read your email.  Your solution makes feel me better, but I did the right thing and I need to print your solution for later use.  I really appreciate your comments Mick!

  • Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 error: the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.

    I have Windows Vista.

    When you try to install COD MW2 disc, I get the following message is displayed:

    The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.

    Then it continues with the installation of the first disc perfectly, but the problem occurs with the second disc. When you are prompted to enter the second drive I do and he doesn't recognize. The drive doesn't look like it runs as if it is scanned intermittently. STEAM will freeze and (no response) as well as menu my computer and the DVD disk drive. So far, I can't find any solution to my problem.

    I had the game earlier on the same pc but had to uninstall STEAM temporarily.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

    Thank you for your response. However I can't find the "local security policy" in administrative tools. Not sure if it's because of Vista.

    However I managed to the second drive yesterday after many many attempts. It seemed to work when I changed the AutoPlay settings to open the folder and view the files. I have no idea why, but he was able to read the disc in this way, after a few attempts.

    Thanks anyway. :)
