• Screen black on the Admin account, but not on the standard user account

  Run a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 Home ultimate. At startup, I log onto my user account. Some time later, I can access my admin account. Twice in two months after logging in to my admin account, the screen was black. The normal icons and the cursor appears. On the right side of the taskbar, the normal icons are displayed. On the left side of the taskbar, only the Start button appears. When I click on the Start button, it seems normal and programs will start when I click on them. However, the search of files and programs does not work.

  The first time that has happened for a reason system restore did not work. I guess my antivirus system work even if I had turned off temporarily. Basically, I created a new admin account and then copied the files from the old account to the new account admin.

  During the problem that I can connect and disable the account of user with no problems and everything works normally.

  I did a system restore and then I was able to access windows Explorer, but could not set the background picture, the libraries did not display correctly even if the files were there when I looked at the file of the user on the drive actually.

  It is a very confusing problem.

  RobertWeiner,

  You cannot run SFC without being Administrator utility. for which please select the control mode (go to the windows folder, search cmd.exe. you will find several results. In those, select the file showing in the folder System32 cmd. Click with the right button on the cmd file, and then select the option «run as asministrator» Then, type sfc/scannow in the cmd window. I think that now the System File Checker will work.

  don't forget, even you are in your admin account, you must click with the right button on the cmd file, then select the option «run as asministrator»

• I'm on the admin account, but can not change PW for another admin.

  Hello

  I'm on the administrator account for the network that I am. One of the other admins left and does not leave his password. When I go to users and try to change his password (it has the files and settings, we need) to get access to his account, the option is not there to change the password (it is grayed out). How to change its password and/or the newspaper on his account?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  If you are the Admin and you can do what is necessary for the network, get rid of his account.

  Otherwise, questions like these are much better handled in the IT Pro Forums on TechNet.

  My moderator tools cannot transfer messages on Windows forums, please re - ask you question there.

• Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

  Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

  SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

  This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

  y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

  Thank you, Joe

  It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

  Edit:

  Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

  Original title: Hi I have a windows 7

  You must be at least one account Admin on the PC.  It's just the way that Windows 7 works.

  The account that you used to make the new Admin account must also be an administrator full - account only administrators can make new accounts.

  Of running Windows 7, it is recommended to use a user account Standard for all daily activities.  In addition to that, make two password protected administrator accounts & write passwords.  Make a password reset disk for each account on the PC.

  On the removal of Maxewell girl - the account is deleted [this is possible by an Admin]

  1. go to the daughter of C:\Users\Maxewell's and copy all the files of this user that you want to continue

  2 using Control Panel, user accounts, manage another account.

  3 you can then remove the entire Panel Contorl system, advanced system, Advanced tab settings user profile, select user account profiles - settings button - then click on the button Delete

  4. go on girl C:\Users\Maxewell's and verify that the files are deleted

• XP admin account is hidden and in safe mode F8 annoys me but I cannot view the admin account.

  The admin account is hidden and it seems as my user account, but what built allowed me to install the drivers it isn't now.  Impossible to install a wireless card to get on the web.
  I followed the previous advice and used the SafeMode (F8) and got to the login screen, but my account does not allow me to view the account Admin don't want to rebuild again if I can avoid it. Any advice would be very welcome.
  Edit the registry key doesn't help either not that my account has no rights to add a key
  Thank you

  According to Microsoft: "This isn't a problem... it's a feature"...

  The normal behavior for Windows XP is to hide the built-in Administrator account once another user account is created.  Not rebuild your machine again because it happen.  One way around this problem is to create another administrator-capable user as an unprivileged user.  Then, when the account is not built-in Administrator, you will have a visible connection as admin user.

  As it is now, your solution is simple.  On the normal startup login screen, hit twice by the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination.  This will bring up a login screen standard where you can enter the user name and password (if any) of the built-in Administrator and you connect to your computer to a normal startup mode and make the changes you want.  (I recommend that you create a 2nd Admin user with the control panel of users)

• Stuck on the admin account, password seems to have been changed after my dell frozen

  I am the administrator of my computer and am stuck on my account, the password changed one day a few weeks ago after my computer froze for about 15 minutes. I was the admin acct, after he defrost it worked very well. I was stopped for the night and when I tried to connect the am password no longer works. I'm able to get in the other two accounts on the computer, but I can't let anything like that or system restore because I need the admin password.  I have a lot of music and pictures here and I really don't want to lose all of it.

  Regain access to your admin account using system restore

  Excerpt:
  Important note...
  This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed for the account of the problem. In addition, this isn't a problem if you are in a domain environment because the domain administrator can always reset your password.

• Parental control on the Admin account problems

  A few months ago, I created a new account on my computer for work only.  I set the parental controls on the new account and only the work account.  I got by without my computer for work then off the parental control.  Now, I'm unable to download games without him asking for a password.  I don't know what password I had used since I don't end up need it and none I've tried have worked.  So, how can I, as an administrator, disable this feature?  I have consulted the parental control and done everything I have seen/read that was recommended, but it won't allow me to change the settings on my own admin account without establishing a second admin account.  So, how can I remove this feature from the admin, only the admin?  It does not accept any next to the admin account, and even then it won't take my password.

  I work at it for a few weeks now and tried everything I can think of.  Today I spent most of the day trying to get this thing to work.

  More details on what is happening-
  -I'm going to download a game on the net while connected to my admin account
  -Everything works until the final stage when he usually asks for a general permission to my antivirus
  -A pop up appears which reads: you do not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run.  You can run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as long as the current user.
  -Click on the current user and it closes, download fault.
  -Enter a password for the administrator and it says I have a user name or password invalid.
  -Enter my username and password and it closes, download fault.

  Can someone please help with this?

  Hello KS. GAL.86,

  Is the problem with the account of the work that you had created that has activated the Parental control? You can only configure Parental controls on a standard account and not an administrator account.

  If so, then create a new account that has not activated the parental control.

  Is the issue that you are experiencing that you can not download programs as an administrator?
  What is the exact error you get when you download a program?

  It cannot have anything to do with Parental control.

  Please answer back with more details and information.

  Thank you

• Created 2 standard user accounts and now the admin account is inaccessible. How to access my administrator account?

  I have Vista Edition Home Premium.  I got the account administrator and only called 'everyday', which were both available on the Welcome screen.  I was usually you log in to the admin account for my daily use of the computer, but realized that it was a bad idea.  I created a new account, he made an admin account and called "administration".  I changed then the administrator account, I had used so far for a standard account and named it 'everyday', which makes the account would connect you to our daily use.  Finally, I created a new standard account called 'secondary' for my husband to use.

  Now, when I turn on the computer, only accounts that I am able to connect in the Welcome screen are 'everyday' and 'secondary '.  I tried to find articles that would already be answering my question, but good solutions I've seen do not work or are not completely suitable for my situation.  I know the administrator account exists, I don't know how to connect to it.  How can I access my administrator account now?  Things like system restore and cmd / 'run as administrator' failure because I don't have privileges admin so I can't even begin to perform these tasks.

  Any help is appreciated!

• Need permission admin using the admin account

  I was doing annoyed recently how my computer asked "permission to the administrator. I have an Admin account and a guest account, but I use only the Admin account. However, whenever I do anything it requires permission. This includes the removal of files, save files, moving files, rename files, etc. Even with the files and programs. I can't find the settings I lack, and it becomes really upset me.

  I should add that I'm still able to do things, it's just that it ask for permission each time. Any help would be appreciated.

  The feature you are referring is called User Account Control, or UAC for short. It is supposed to make your computer more secure, however, if you despise as many other people do, fortunately for you, there is a simple way to get rid of him.

  1. open start > Control Panel

  2. in the search box at top right, type in uacand select change user account control settings

  3. to turn off UAC, move the slider to never notify position. Save your settings and to provide your final confirmation. You will need to restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

  That's all

• No access to the Admin account

  I have recently reinstalled Windows and I screw up the user names. This is what is stated in the users folder. All users, default user, Default (hidden), longsorr (grayed out), Public (grayed out), UpdatusUser. It should be default user, D..., my guests. When I was asked for the username during installation I gave longsorrow, thinking he was talking about the computer, time of elderly people. I tried to fix this and now got D... longsorrow. I also I created my guests and that is not the case on the list. Finally, I normally mode without fail get computers Admin user account and my account, what has not happened. Only the accounts show where d... and my guests. (Oddly, my guests is on the front line and not my user account.)

• Can I default to the Admin account of a SE GBA without a recovery CD

  Hi - I have a soultion ACS 1111 engine. I used it mess autour with but now need to return it for store this need to default to get rid of the admin account. A TAC engineer, told me I can do the CLI but did not say exactly how.

  Is it possible to return the unit to the default settings of the CLI or what I need to get my hands on a recovery CD? The device is running 4.1

  Thanks in advance

  DOM

  You cannot restore the default configuration in the SE of the ACS. He had to use the recovery CD to recreate the image on the device.

  When you use the recovery CD or the orders:

  Attach a DB9 RJ-45 adapter to the serial port of the console.

  Configure your communication of terminal emulation software to run with the following parameters:

  •Baud = 115200

  •DataBits = 8

  •This = N

  •Arrete = 1

  •The control = None

  •Borne = ANSI emulation type

  You cannot set the password to "setup":

  ACS_Console > set admin

  Enter the old password:

  Enter the new account name: administrator

  Enter the new password:

  Retype the new password:

  Error: password must be at least 6 characters long.

  Does not all or part of the name of the user account.

  Contains characters from three of the following four categories:

  * English uppercase (A.). Z)

  * English lowercase characters (a.. z)

  Base 10 digits (0-9 paper)

  * Non-alphanumeric (for example,!, $, #,)

  If you provide the guy new username/password current, it could reset it using these commands:

  -To set the name of the administrator of the ACS, use the command set admin:

  Set admin [administratorname]

  -To set the password of the administrator of the ACS, use the set password command.

  If this is not the case, there was also the recovery CD to reset the password.

• I can't perform a restore of the system after the removal of the admin account?

  Original title: admin deleted, now impossible to restore

  I bought my laptop from my work for personal use and remove the admin users. When you try to download anything it gives me an error now, "the requested operation requires an elevation" when I put my user name and password. How can I solve this problem? Can't even do a restore without credentials. When I looked at the accounts, mine is the only one listed. Is there another way I can find out what is the admin account? My work told me a few options for the password, but was not really sure because they put in place so long ago.

  Remove the admin account amounted to throw away the key of your safe. A better idea would have been to create and test an alternative admin account. Here's how you can recover from this disaster:

  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. Configure Windows to a point before you deleted the admin account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
