  Hello

  Here is a very good explanation by Malkeleah and others in the linked Thread that explains that it is virtually impossible to stop a person access to your computer, if they really want.

  "(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

  1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

  2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

  3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

  4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

  5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

  Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.

  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)

  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.

  Create a password reset disk:

  Reset your Windows password:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/reset-your-Windows-password

  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.

• Virus or Trojan or something else that will activate the guest account?

  My computer is very slow, and every time I wake it from sleep I notice that the guest account has been enabled.  So I go into Control Panel and then users and groups and disable the guest account unblocking of the user and groups with my password, remove the check mark beside guest account and lock user accounts.  However, even if I am away from my computer, the check mark next to guest account gets back and the guest account enabled.

  Nobody else uses my computer.  Does anyone know of a Virus, Trojan, Bot, or anything else that might be my computer hijacking.  I have ClamXav, but nothing was found after several scans.  Help please.

  It is not a virus. Viruses don't do that sort of thing.

  Earlier, I think I've found that putting on find my Mac would automatically allow the guest account. Not sure if this is still true today. You can check by turning off to find my Mac, disable the guest account and then verify.

• XP insists on the use of guest account

  I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express on a computer with XP SP3. The installation showed no failure & I can locally access and query databases.

  I have a 2nd machine running also XP SP3 which can also access and query the databases mentioned above on #1 using Sql Server authentication.

  When #2 tries to use Windows authentication, it (#2) insists on using the guest account to Windows # 1 to access the SqlServer guest account.

  If I disable the prompt Windows or SqlServer comments # 1, Windows authentication fails, saying that the respective account is disabled.

  I have the same username on the machines and the same password. I also tried using the administrator account on both machines with the

  same results. Each machine I use Windows Explorer to access any file on the remote computer. So I think that and

  are exactly the same on both machines.

  Both machines are on the same workgroup. There is no domain controller.

  I did another experiment.   #1 can access and query data bases on #2 using Windows authentication WITHOUT using comments. In fact invited XP is

  disabled on #2 most SQL Server Express does NOT include a guest connection.

  I posted this problem on the SQL Server Express forum, but had only 1 response which implies that the problem could be due to the configuration of XP. He

  certainly no response suggested a SQL Server configuration problem.

  Any help will be much appreciated. TIA, Joe

  Well, I found the answer & nothing to do with Sql Server 2008 Express.

  The problem was with the #1 machine's local security policy setting. Specifically, the network access: sharing and security model

  for local accounts. You had to be on "classic - local users authenticate themselves."

• 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:

  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.

  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.

• Guest account "secure"?

  I have a Linksys E1000 ver 2. I noticed, after setting up a guest account with its own password (using Cisco Connect), which, on the list of available WiFi signals, that the guest account appears as not not "sure". In other words, other accounts in the quarter, including my main account or base, each has a small icon of padlock next to him. My guest account is not. Should I be worried? Thank you.

  A guest account should be used when you have guests. Otherwise, I would recommend l ' turn off.

  As long as you use it for what it was intended, then it is not a concern.
