The UAC Popup password field is disabled... cannot elevate privileges

I have multiple accounts on my Vista machine, which is an account "admin" (not the built-in "Administrator" account). This account was never used, so in my clumsy attempt to clean up the login screen I have run the command "net user administrator / active: No." privileged command prompt to disable. While having for effect to remove account 'administrator' from the login page, I also seem to have stood at the entrance of the administrator password in the UAC popup dialog boxes. Now I'm stuck.

I tried to boot into "safe" mode in the hope that the built-in "Administrator" account arise (this also has a password), but it does not show the IPU on the login screen. No other enabled accounts have administrator privileges, so I can't re - activate the disabled "admin" account due to the lack of privileges.

Am I pooched? Can I get this working again, or do I have to do a clean install?

Hope someone can help me...

Dave

I managed to download a linux-based boot disk that reset my password administrator and made available on the login page. Once connected, I managed to reactivate the other admin account and now everything is fine. Fortunately, no system restore was needed.

Thank you for taking the time to help me with my problem.

  • After Windows Update, the user cannot access password field on the login in Windows 7 screen

    Windows 7 Home 64 bit, our machine is set with two users - two passwords.  As a result of the automatic application of some updates (a number have been applied at the same time we were absent), a user can no more connection time because:

    -the password field is hidden

    -System attempst to check with a blankc password and return an error of incorrect user or password.

    For some reason that I can't (even if logged on as administraor) remove or change the users password.

    It seems that your security database is damaged. Here are some options you can try:

    • Create new accounts. You can do this through steps 1-5 as before, then by typing these commands:
      NET user "On" xxyyzz / add
      net localgroup administrators "On" / add
    • Perform a restore of the system to a point while the problem appeared.

  • Is there a configuration parameter that can be set so that the various web pages can NOT disable the ability for the latest data from the Clipboard in a field instead of typing

    Occasionally various websites have forms to fill out. Frequently, the password field and the ability to paste from the Clipboard is disabled. Since I use a password manager and generate passwords as mN0ZJ1Pj (generated example for display) she would like to be able to paste the password because there is less tendency for me for spelling errors.

    I would like to know if there is a configuration setting that causes the instructions on the web site to disable the ability to stick to be ignored. My position is that it's MY computer and I should be able to do what I want on my end.

  • G60: Turn on the password, system to disable the code: 57770150. Attempt to restore. Have the disks.

    It is an old laptop that I bought new week Windows 7 is out, but it is preloaded with Vista.  I got a product key for Windows 7 update but no real drive and did not recovery disc at the beginning.

    2011. I had issues and called for what I thought was supported from Microsoft Tech (a number provided by Office Depot employee) and paid for support and allowed them access remotely.

    Disreputable company or a person got deep into my system, networking, tried to steal files and installing keylogging and silent channel Skype file bombs and who knows what.  I got the files, file-by-file and moved to external drives, tried many times have this machine wiped and restored.  I have never trusted and ended upward abandonment and to buy a macbook air.  So my HP laptop is currently loaded with Microsoft 7 ultimate with a legitimate key from a school who worked on this subject, but I do not know if the restore was successful since it was never taken away from the factory with Vista settings, first.  I just gave up and set it aside.

    On the fast track. A few months ago I decided that I wanted to use this machine again because it has a bigger screen for photo editing and may contain pictures, freeing up space on my macbook air flowing.  However, even with my tip, I could not remember my old password journal.  I finally found a way to bypass my password login, but in the process of game one power new password.  I didn't try anything fancy and can not remember how or why I did it, even.  I was sure it was just my name or a generic name like "admin" or "password"... so I was happy I got, but still had reservations so I did some updates and ordered the Vista restore disks and set it aside again.

    Argh.  So now I was ready to move some files from my mac and was almost convinced myself just to use the disks of Vista to default and I DON'T remember the power on password... (I am sure that I would have written this down in the notes on my iphone... but unfortunately, I dropped on concrete a week or two ago and cannot access my notes!)

    After a few attempts, I get code: disable the system - 57770150.

    It's a bit like Moby * beep * now.  I have no cash or motivation to buy another laptop.  I really want to get THIS phone, which was basically stolen from me to solve some problems at the moment (free space on my mac).

    A I completely screw this up after all this?  I've read about taking batteries or pins... never tried it before, but I'm not afraid to take risks because I've already lost everything I could lose on that.

    Is there a way to restore discs if I can't power up password screen?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I realize account this message is long, but it's a complicated scenario and I thought that the history of malware, remote access, set at level vista/windows, may be of interest...

    Thank you!

  • Satellite M30: How disable the BIOS boot password?

    Hello

    Before my vacation, I activated the startup password in the Bios. Now I want to turn this off, but it does not work. In the Bios, I can go to the Security tab, but I can't change the settings with the F5/F6 key or space. A beep is all I get. Entering on this point, I wonder to set a new password.

    Anyone know how to disable the password for a Satellite M30? Please note that I have not forgotten my password, I can always start the machine.

    THX,

    Werner.

    PS On this forum, I don't see any topic title, only the name of the authors. Is always normal? It is very convenient that way, but maybe it is related to my pc.

    Hello

    I found a step by step explanation to clear a BIOS password:

    "Turning on the computer from a State"off"with the ESC key. You are asked "password =". "

    Enter the password, and then press ENTER. The unit will display: "the valid password is entered, the system starts up. Check the system. Press key (F1). »

    Press the F1 key. This will start the device in the BIOS Setup mode.

    Using the arrow keys or tab, move to the password field and select REGISTERED.

    Press the SPACE bar, enter the password, and then press ENTER. For now, the password field is transformed into NON REGISTERED. »

    Hope this will help you.
    Good bye

  • Single user lock screen requires now click here to see the password field; what setting or API controls this?

    At first, this may seem like only an issue with a third-party application, but the question applies to Windows in general. I am a software developer and experienced Windows user, but I can't seem to find no answer on what's going on.

    Normally lock on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (when you press Windows + L for example) display an icon of great user, the user name, the word "locked" and a password field and a "Change user" button. But after installing the client VPN Junos Pulse , my lock screen changes: it is a tiny user icon and no password field. I have to click the tiny user icon before a password field is displayed:

    This situation is not limited to the Junos Pulse. I found the people ask this question after installing programs face connection. Others have had the same problem. And still others have had this problem - more recently. But no one can provide no answer to which change the login screen.

    If I uninstall Junos Pulse login screen returns to normal. But the question is not about Junos Pulse; I want to know what Windows setting or API call causes this situation. What could be the Junos Pulse that would lead even this behavior?

    Yes, I already checked that there is only one user account after the installation of Junos Pulse, and the guest account is disabled.

    Junos Pulse setting changed to change the behavior of my lock screen, and how to make a lock screen normal return that immediately presents the password field without requiring an additional click?

  • Firefox on windows 8.1 is AutoFill password field when autocomplete is disabled.

    Hello.

    Firefox (latest version) for windows is auto-fill a password field, even with AutoComplete is turned off.

    The HTML code for the fields are:

    < input name = seized semiautomatic "member_password1" = "off" type = "password" >


    < input name = seized semiautomatic "member_password2" = "off" type = "password" >


    Leave the empty password to automatically generate a password

    In all other browsers, it works very well, and the saved password is not added, but Firefox on Windows 8.1 it is be populated automatically, with the registered user password.

    Thanks - I'll see what I can find. Almost a shame Mozilla simply ignores these fields well.

  • Disable the UAC in VISTA window

    Hello

    How to disable UAC in Windows Vista using LabVIEW Control window?

    I did this VI (see attached). This VI works, if I have manually disabled the UAC window (regedit: "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System - EnableLUA = 0 [DWORD]) of the control panel or regedit.

    If I run my VI on a computer that has ON UAC, I can't open the registry key. Although, if I manually go to regedit and
    change the variable windows EnableLUA to zero and restart the computer.
    Then, I'll be able to control this LabVIEW registry key.

    Is
    It's kind around to disable UAC only with LabVIEW. This means,
    is it possible to change the EnableLUA variable Windows when I

    Thank you

    Hi JPLO,

    If you run your VI as long as limited or in admin approval mode user, I expect not to be able to disable admin approval mode. Try right-clicking on the LabVIEW icon in the Start Menu and select "run as Administrator" and then run your VI.
