• How do I open a session with the local administrator account in Windows 8

  Hello

  About two weeks ago, I bought my laptop Dell Inspiron 15 inch 7000 Series that pre-installed with Win8 Japanese worm.

  Tried to download the Win8.1 from the store to Win, but asked me to identify a user with administrative privileges.

  When I booted up my laptop, it only prompted me to my Windows account (created this account I've first turning on my laptop).

  How can I change to log to the local administrator account when starting my laptop?

  Thank you

• my password the computer administrator account is gone!

  I use windows xp / professional and the user account password has been protected and the administrator of the computer. I went to add another user without password account and limited access for my computer can be used by others. The second user account is NOT an administrator and without a password.  two user accounts have been works fine for a while then I connected under the account password protected user uses a new password I did and when I tried to open a session ii it I refused and told me to ask my computer administrator but IAM the ADMINISTRATOR of the COMPUTER! . I went to 'start' to disconnect and change users, but the user protected password is now gone! Where could he have gone if I logged in with the password and how to return it? I have everything under this account! Oh and I CHECKED DOCUMENT AND SETTINGS AND I SEE THE FOLDER BUT IT SAYS FILE EMPTY AND ACCESS DENIED! Help!

  My guess is that you use the built-in for your first account administrator account.  When you add another account, the built-in Administrator account is hidden so the 'Friendly Welcome' logon screen. (The expected behavior is that the first account ever created will be an administrator account for you with the other accounts to follow - the internal administrator is then hidden emergency purposes)   Given that the content of the folders under "Documents and Settings" for other users is by default protected, you cannot see or access it from your other user.  All this is expected.  Chances are that your files are still there and still recoverable.

  To verify that your account still exists, open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  net users
  This example displays a list of all the users that currently exist on your computer.  To connect under your former administrator account, you may need to temporarily disable the welcome friendly login screen and manually provide the user name and password in the logon screen "classic  The procedure to do this is shown here:

  "How to change the logon window and the shutdown preferences in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/291559 >

  who will basically tell you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at the user-friendly home screen.

  I can't help you if you end up having password problems.  But last spring might be to boot your machine to free Linux Livecd like Knoppix, back up your files on a USB key and reinstall Windows.  Other solutions could be google from non-Microsoft sources.

  Hi Ravikaran,
   
  -What exactly happens when you try to delete the administrator account? You receive an error message or error code? If Yes, indicate the same.

  You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from complete this procedure.

  See the following articles for more information on the deletion of the account:

• is it possible to give all administrator privileges to another administrator account other than the original administrator account?

  I created another account to administrator and I deleted the original (which was set in place when I got my computer) and kept the original files. I was then going to use my new administrator as the main account. I tried to install and update to an application and he said I have peut not be able to download all the updates, because the original was the one that installed applications. So in a sense, there are some applications and programs I am not able to change, delete, or update.

  Can I GET all THE THE ADMINISTRATOR of the ORIGINAL FOR this NEW ACCOUNT of ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT PRIVILEGES?

  Hi Juneilj,

  You need to reinstall all applications of this new account.
