The two user accounts on PC have been changed to limited. No access to the administrator. How can I restore an administrator accounts?

Since I have used remote support Microsoft.com, two user accounts have been converted to limited. None of us can access accounts administrator or owner on our pc running XP home. We receive notice of update program but cannot install because we do not have Administrator status.

Log in Mode safe mode with the built-in Administrator account.

  • Have only json bkmks prev FF 29 install, but now, how can I restore it as html? (Cannot find it in any menu FF.)

    I had to reinstall win 7 a few days ago. The old installation is Win.OLD. After installation in the new configuration for FF29, I tried to simply move the file bkmks of html into the Win.OLD file on the new system, but somehow, it was just another copy of what was on the brand new facility of and seq. Looking deeper, I was able to find old favorites in a json file in a folder bookmarksbackup buried in AppData and could tell from the date and the size it was in fact the old bkmks, saved from the eve of the new facility.

    I tried to find something here telling me how to 'restore' the json to html file, but everything that I could find that was bound, said only to "restore" the json file, but without any detail... so how do I do this? One answer given directions by using the menu of Firefox and using a restore feature, but what I have is the file/Edit/View/history/bookmarks/tools/help menu and the 'customize' page and it of functions, but cannot find anything on the restore/export/backup bookmarks. Am I missing a menu? Thank you!!

    Hello JeanSteel,

    I suggest try to perform a system restore to a time before having this problem.  If you want to restore your computer to factory settings, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer on the guidelines for this.  Also, be sure to back up your data before doing this.  Here is a link to perform a system restore.  Please let us know status.

  • Cannot open any programs, I think that somehow the files have been changed to .lnk files

    Original title: I'm unable to open programs in my Start Menu.

    When I click on an item in the beginning, all programs selection and click it, instead of opening, I get the name of the program, for example Microsoft Works... LNK and that's all I get the program never opens.  I think somehow that the files have been changed to .lnk files but do not know how it happened

    This happened for several months and I'm sure that there is an easy solution to return to what it was but don't know what.  I tried the system restore, but that did nothing and don't know what to do next.  Any ideas?  Thank you... betseyd112

  • Migration of PC now I have two user accounts.  How can I transfer everything to a user account

    I've migrated from PC to iMac, and now I have two user accounts.  How can I just well mover a user account and then delete the second user account.

    A user account is one that you created in the Setup Wizard when you have got a Mac. The second he the user account you migrated your PC. If you used the same username for both, then you can simply copy the files from one to the other. If the user names are different, then see: transfer of files from one user to another account.

  • Combining programs, files, folders, etc from two user accounts has a handset (i.e. administrative)

    Hello

    When I transferred files and folders, etc from my old computer to my new one, it divided them in two user accounts, which is the administrator (apparently I got the documents under two users on my old computer but didn't). The problem is now I have to go back between the two accounts to show different things. I would like to know if there is a way to combine everything that the two user accounts into one, preferably the administrator account. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    1 from your ADMIN account making another account with the same password - give him ADMIN -.
    It's your safety valve and test and difficulty. Always keep a handy unused Admin account.

    Now, from your ADMIN account, you can access the user folders in the other USER account.
    Use start - computer or Windows Explorer to access your USER account - then copy the
    the data of its foldes in the same folders on your ADMIN account work (only data - not)
    programs). Do not copy on the data files of your ADMIN account USER account
    something similar as Document there are files with the same names, yet who have different
    content - if existing ones rename the files in the files of the USER before completing the copy.

    C:\USERS\YourUserAccount\Documents\ copy

    C:\USERS\YourAdminAccount\Documents\

    Be careful to not to overwrite files with the same name (copy will warn you).

    Repeat with the other data files.

    The process is similar to migrating from a damaged account - just pretend for the USER account
    is corrupted and migrate towards your work account ADMIN as here:

  • Mix only the properties that have been changed

    Hi all

    Is it possible, form where we can identify the properties that have been changed in the source in the past 24 hours and use them only to the mix?

    You can mix changes, but there is no filter option to specify the specific date and time.

    Go to definition of Blender and select the difference as the value for the Mode property of propagation,

    If your Source is another manual entry of the user in DRM, you can think to filter the changes there and then deal with the DRM.

  • Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome.

    Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome. Specifically, a large part of Tumblr and Facebook menu has been changed in another language (Russian, I think). I tried reinstall Firefox, clear the cache and reset firefox to its default state. None of them helped. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hey again,

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    I hope this helps!
