System default admin for the guest account

original title: system admin__

How to make so that the main user... (System Administrator) the main user on the page "comments"? So I don't have to ask permission to download things.

It can be done - especially because of reasons of programming and security. In fact, you really should not use the guest at all account (for the same reason - pirates too know it is there and can often enter your system through it).  The best approach is to create a standard user for guests account and just leave the guest account disabled.  Yes, I know that the account exists and it is not well said by Microsoft about it, but to be on these forums and see thousands of posts, I can tell you that most experts and authors of long-term response do not recommend its use at all.  Most would have a fit to the idea of giving this account of administrative privileges (and thank God that you proposed is not possible).  I mean really, you honestly want to give a guest (even your best friend or a parent) THAT kind of access to your system and your files?  Even if it were possible, I would NEVER consider such a thing.

Again, I suggest you to disable the account invited and set up a standard account for your guests.  It's much safer and not that much more work for all the world.  In addition, since it implies that this is the case, I suggest that you do not use an administrator account for day-to-day activities (for security reasons - if someone hacks in there they have access to your entire system!).  Set up a regular user account to use on a daily basis and use the account administrator only when necessary.

I hope this helps and even if it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, it's the answer you needed to hear.  A good firewall and security software cannot go that far (and necessary), but you must also practice good safety habits as well.  I can't tell you how many people I have seen here that have been hacked or attacked by malicious software not because they had not the right software installed and running, but because of the way they have used their system (absence of passwords, wireless unsecured, leave the machine unattended without first locking or at least using a locking screen saver) ,...).  And in some cases, the only way to recover was a clean install, and they lost all their programs and settngs (although most were able to record their data with our help).  I really want to see you back here as one of those people.

Good luck!

  • I have a problem with my account of switching for the guest account.

    Original title: my account set to a guest account

    My account has switched to a guest account and I don't have an administrator account on the system. I started in safe mode but when I run "net user administrator / Active: Yes or net user administrator password 1234" I get an error message. Nothing helps. When I try to change the permissions, he asks an Admin password that I did not and I can't even select the "Yes" button. All this happened when I pass the account and the account for Auto-Login.

    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 Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    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 your account is downgraded
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
    If you still have problems then to be a little more specific. Reports "I get an error message. Nothing helps. " strictly tell us. You must cite the explicit screen messages.

    I belive that your boot order is not preparing to your boot from the CD/DVD option.

    In the setting VM Edit tab there is an option to go to the bios directly before trying to start. box to check that option and power on the virtual machine, it will go to the bios now set your first boot on CD/DVD device and apply to restart this will make the option set. Now your virtual machine starts automatically from CD/DVD.

    Because this will not your VM to power & power on it will continue after your start option setting is applied.

  • slow account login and changed to the guest account administrator

    Original title: two problems with Windows 8: very slow connection and the guest account became a Director

    For about two weeks, computer Toshiba Satellite Windows 8 of my daughter was a very slow process. It takes sometimes 15 or 20 minutes for the prompt "Please wait" to take him to his login screen. We tried pretty much every difficulty to do this, including the deactivation of add-ins and the removal of disk utility that it does not use. We have not yet solved the problem.

    Upward, we can't even restore its system because, somehow, a guest account was appointed administrator on his laptop and we cannot put up-to-date because there has never been a password for the guest account. We tried a variety of things - create a new account and try to do this or our two accounts of the administrator in addition to comments. Nothing has worked.

    I'd be willing to take his laptop down to restore the system, but I can't because the guest is in charge. How can we change the administrator at one of our two accounts so that we can do a system restore?

    Thanks for your help, Ajay. Finally, I just did a system restore which took down for installation of Windows 8 and got the administrator once everything is back up to about eight hours later. Then I deleted all the bloatware that came with the laptop Toshiba, especially all the Junk Norton programs. I installed the 97 pending Windows updates with a clean boot and - abracadabra - problem solved!

    It is my daughter portable computer, but, like any other college kid, she ended up downloading a lot of junk. Since I am the administrator, I'll now have parental control on his laptop computer.

    Once again, thank you very much for your help on these issues.

    What to do if you forget your Windows password

    If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you are not on a domain (most of the individuals are not on a domain), you can reset your password by using a reset disk of password or by using an administrator account.

    If you forget the administrator password, and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password. If there is no other user account on the computer, you will not be able to connect to Windows and you will need to re - install Windows.

  • Installed NEWSid, restarted, now I am obliged in the guest account and can't make admin account or change the guest account.

    I had to run NEWSid due to software, I bought and installed (Stardock Objectdock) and required me to restart. Upon reboot, I had the guest account and couldn't change little matter what I tried. Here are things I tried.

    (1) goes UAC and by creating an account admin, but when I put a name in the name field, it tells me I have the invalid text when I do.

    2) restart in safe mode to create the Admin account or change the parameters of control of the accounts in this way and the same thing happens as a #1.

    Reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit 3) compared to the original, which does nothing to help.

    After research, I learned that using NEWSid with Vista causes this problem a lot, but the only solution I found is to use a recovery system disk (the only disc that came with my purchase of the computer has been the Cyberpower restore disc that contains only Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit.

    I am at a loss what to do, what I'm in the guest account and can't get out. System Restore did nothing as well until I reinstalled Vista. When I tried to run the system restore, it told me the Volume Shadow service was not working, but as part of the services, it has been set to automatic.

    Hi Rizzano,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    If you are unable to connect to the administrator account, you will be unable to make changes on the computer by using the guest account.

    I think you did an in place upgrade which means it replaces the file system and makes no changes to the user account.

    You try to activate the construction in the administrator account and check if it works.

    If you are able to connect on windows first try to create a new administrator account.

    To activate the built-in Administrator account, follow these steps:


    1. click Startand type cmd in the Search boxof start.
    2. in the list of search results, right-click Guest, and then click run as administrator.
    3. When you are prompted by user account control, click continue.
    4. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
    5. type net user administrator , , and then press ENTER.
    Note: Please replace the tag with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account.
    6. type exitand press ENTER.
    7 log off the current user account.

    HOW to: Enable the build-in the administrator account in Windows Vista

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555910

     

    If the steps above does not resolve the question suggest that you try to restore the system from the mode or using the disk safe.

    To use the Windows recovery environment, you must have the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc. To start the Windows recovery environment, follow these steps:

    1.

    Insert the installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2.

    Press a key when you are prompted.

    3.

    Select a language, time and currency and keyboard or input method, and then click on Next.

    4.

    Click on your computer repair.

    5.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click on Next.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point created before the problem occurred.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Let me know if it worked.

    All the best!

    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)
  • Cannot change the guest account to admin account type

    Restart the computer using safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is by default set to an empty space. You can now recreate your admin account.

    When you have finished, try to plan ahead a little. Have a computer with a single administrator account, it's something that compulsive risk takers indulge in. The rest of us sure we at any time two fully tested and documented admin accounts.

  • Aero does not work for me, but works with the guest account.

    Any suggestions?

    There is probably some software running which disables it.  Stuff as Java always calls the API legacy to draw graphics that allows Windows to the old mode rescue.

    If you click Start, and then type "Defender" Windows Defender should appear, from there, you can use the 'explore software' (under Tools) to try to disable all applications that are running on login.

    If you are just looking for elements run back, I wouldn't have selected Vista for guest OS... Probably be much better to use XP Pro (SP2) than any version of Vista... On the one hand, XP uses much less space on the disk and other... You can run XP Pro (easily) on a vDisk 16-20GB... IF you're dead set on running VIsta, then get the Business edition and who perform. I would never use any of the editions home for any professional use. Windows 7 is much better than Vista (Windows 7 is commonly called "Vista done right" within the it community). I'm actually using Windows 7 Professional x 64 on two of my systems. I have a XP Pro VM on my system main for when I need either the software which is only able to turn it on, or when I need to test something. Otherwise, I stick with Win7 these days.

    Vista Home (Basic or Premium) are not exactly the wisest choice for operating systems... Especially if you work on this system...
