• The administrator account has disappeared from my computer running Windows XP Pro. How can this happen and how can it be solved?

  I don't see that the clarification would help.

  Out of curiosity, use the command control userpasswords2 described on the link above and look at the list of users.

  You should have:

  • each account you created
  • an account named Administrator
  • an account named ASPNET; and
  • an account named comments

  You have these accounts?  Specifically, you have an account named Administrator in more the one named Admin?

  All Windows XP installations have a built-in account named Administrator.  This account should normally be reserved for emergency cases and therefore, is hidden in the home in normal mode screen once you have created your own user account (I don't remember if you have created an account with computer administrator privileges user, or if the creation of a user account allows to hide 'Administrator').  Although it is possible to rename the built-in account, doing so is not easy and not a good idea IMO.

• XP has changed the user accounts is now impossible to access the administrator account

  Something has gone wrong when changing my user accounts. I don't have an administrator account can create a. I can't even restore my system. It doesn't let me do anything! What to do Help!

  You use the built-in account named "Administrator"?  If so, the behavior you describe is "a feature, not a bug."

  Windows XP hidden administrator account when a user account is created (because it's a good idea not to use administrator systematically; it should be saved for emergencies).

  You access the administrator account integrated differently depending on whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.

  For XP Home:

  You must restart in Mode without failure.  Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key as soon as the initial startup process is finished.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and you have to restart again.   If you do it right, you will see the white Advance Boot Options menu on black (image).  Use the up/down arrows and the Enter key to select Mode safe because your mouse does not work on this screen.  Once the computer starts in Mode safe mode, the administrator account will appear on the Welcome screen.  If you have not changed the password, the password is blank (no password).

  For XP Pro:

  Follow the signs for XP Home Edition, or in the Welcome screen, with no logged-in user, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice.  The 'classic' logon box will appear.  Type "Administrator" (without the quotes).  Once again, the default password is empty.

  Once you enter the administrator account, create an account with "computer administrator" privileges for occasions when you need (for example, to run the system restore or create accounts).  You can use any name you want (other than Administrator), such as MyAdmin.

• I accidentally deleted the administrator account while trying to get rid of administrator privileges - HELP!

  I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges for that when I'm on another user account he don't ask me the password, or install all the files that I had the intention of this account to the administrator account. I used the command net user administrator / active: No.

  I'm not quite sure if I completely deleted the account or hidden in some way, but now whenever I try to do anything that requires the administrator password (almost everything) I don't even have an opportunity to choose Yes to enter and only the no option I can't change any settings on the computer at all by using a user account This being via CommandPrompt, Panel etc. I'm at a complete loss as what to do.

  (Also, if someone was uncertain, the account Administrator is not visible on the screen to connect.)

  I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges

  -> Order net user administrator / active: No. will do exactly what it says: it allows to disable the administrator account. That is to throw the main key to the safe. Here's how you can reverse this reckless action:
  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. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the administrator account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, even you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Question about the administrator account by default on XP Pro

  When I install a new version of XP pro that it is built in the created administrator account.

• My administrator account has been demoted to a guest account

  Hello

  MS Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2
  All the latest updates and hotfixes applied
  Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
  4 GB OF RAM

  I went to uninstall a program, a couple of days, and when they the UAC confirmation to enter a password, I could just click Cancel (OK is grayed and he had nowhere to type a password). I reset the computer, the same question. I checked my user account under control panel > user accounts and noticed that under my username, he said I was using a guest account (!). Problem is that this has always been an administrator account.

  I went to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users to check what was going on with the account. On the Member tab, it says that the only group I'm in is the debugger users. If I check that guests belonging to a group, only the default account of comments is a member.

  I reset the computer, press F8, and returned in the mode of repair to the system restore a few days ago. This solves nothing, so I restored in a week - the time I can be absolutely sure that I have confirmed successfully an action with the UAC as a system administrator. Still no resolution.

  Accounts administrator and guest of default have been disabled when I bought the computer and never allowed them. As I was alone in the debugger and not to the Administrators group users group, I created only ever this one account - so even in repair mode, I can't log in as an administrator to change the setting of user for this account group.

  Anyway to get this account to a point where user accounts see Computer Management snap-in see, it is to say, that I am NOT a member of the guest, but rather a member of the debugger user group (which I'm lead to believe is a notch below a hand full admin)?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi shehaal,.

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista.

  However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated.

  If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure.

  Sign in and then go to control panel > user accounts and change the account type.

  You can also try to create a new user account with privileges that the user account is damaged and check if the problem persists.

  Follow the link that talks about how to create a new account below:

  Create a new user account:

  1. click on the Start button and then click Control Panel.

  2. click on classic view in the left panel.

  3. double click on user accounts.

  4. click on manage another account to use.

  5. click on create a new account, and then type the name.

  6. choose the type of account as an administrator of the computer.

  7. click on create account.

  8. log off and log on with the new account.

  If the problem occurs, don't use this profile instead of the problem. Follow the steps below to transfer personal data.

  User profile of transfer:

  1. log on as the new user account (make sure that the user account has administrator privileges).

  2. click on the start menu, and then click computer.

  3. click the button hold in the upper left corner and choose folder and Search Options.

  4. on the view tab, check "Show the hidden files and folders" and click OK to save the settings.

  5. navigate to the folder C:\Users\(old user name).

  Note: The "old username" is the username of your old account. For example, if your old account user name is 'Larry', the folder must be C:\Users\Larry.

  ((5 copy all the files and folders in the C:\Users\(old folder user name) in the folder C:\Users\(new user name).

  Note: To copy all of the files, we can press Ctrl + A, then Ctrl + C in the folder C:\Users\(old user name). Then, navigate to the C:\Users\(new folder user name), click Ctrl + V. Replace with new files.

  You can also try scan SFC:

  The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  4. hit enter.

  The SFC scan should replace the corrupt files.

  I hope this helps you, good luck.

• Unable to get the administrator account.

  I changed my password (without the backup disk) and now I can't access my account admin or make updates.  Is it possible that I can get the password set to day for I can put?

  Syed, is simply not true. Vista (and Windows 7) has means legitimate integrated for the OP to enter its system, which do not require a password for third-party software cracking and therefore who works against the rules of the forum, Ms.

  "Connieongeek" - you can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• my administrator account has disappearred

  I have no idea what happened to the admin. account HELP!

  Original title: my administrator account has disappearred and I have password protected it.  How can I reformat and reinstall windows7 without administrative privileges

  Hello

  To reinstall Windows 7 you start either from the recovery disks that came with the computer or those that you have made since the partition of recovery according to the manufacturer's instructions; or the recovery of the manufacturer Partition, or by downloading the ISO file and the indications that follow below in this post.

  None of the methods above should require an Admin password.

  Here's more information on the above:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  Or download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.

  http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-image-downloads.12325/

  And Neosmart has instructions on how to burn ISO disk images using imgburn:

  http://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/Burning-ISO-images-with-ImgBurn/

  The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  

  By using the downloaded ISO file method can require the Activation of phone.

  If it does require phone activation, do not follow Auto guests, but hold on a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

  "How to activate Windows 7 by phone '

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-Windows-7-phone.html

  The above method also requires that you go to your computer manufacturer's website > Support and downloads Section > locate your model number and operating system > then download and install the latest drivers for it.

• How to find the password for the administrator account (forgot it and don't know the trick)

  I recently got a new labtop and there was already an admin account and a guest won't be able to access admin one I used the prompt, its my labtop but the person known not more because it is a gift, so is it every way possible to clear all the stuff off this or just be able to access the administrator account

  The laptop has the option to restore to day? Some come with a disk partition to do that, while others came with BONES and CD drivers (or the ability to create).

  If it came from someone else, it's always a good idea to wipe it and start over anyway; not sure what this person was in, or what are the sites he visits. Would not be a good day for you if the black helicopters landed in your front yard to cause something that accesses the internet of this laptop without realizing you it :-(

  Set the "parameters of same.

  If you want that the user has administrator privileges, then all you need to do is to add the user to the group "Administrators".  To do this, right-click on 'My computer', select 'Manage' and open the "local users and groups" section.  Click on 'Groups', double click on "Administrators" and add the user to the administrator group.

  If you set 'settings' and things like wallpaper and other preferences, there isn't a way to do that easily other than to simply set these parameters.

• forgot my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put them on the administrative account? __

  I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk.  AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

  http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

  Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

• Don't know the name or the password for the administrator account

  'Useful' for my internet service technical advisor has created a new administrator account for my non-it network. I don't know the name of the administrator account or the password and am accessing the computer via a guest account. However, because the guest is not the administrator I can't upgrade or changes to the operating system. How can I find the information needed/creat a new administrator/do prompt the administrator? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS. It seems that I can't do a clean install.

  This new admin account that technology has created for you could be the built-in Administrator account.
  It is, by default, has no password.

  Try to connect to it by clicking on this account > Inbox password by pressing the Enter key.

  If this does not work and you can ONLY log on to your computer to the guest account, so you don't have any hope of creating a new admin account, activate account built-in Administrator, or you can use the cmd to this effect.

  Remind your internet service, tell them what the 'useful' technician had done before and ask them to help, such as...

  1. create new admin with a password that you can remember.

  2 delete the one that you do not have the password.

  If this cannot be done, the only suggestion that we offer is to re - install Vista.
