Unable to log on as an administrator

• Windows 8 is unable to log on as an administrator (Live), password changed by itself.

  Good evening.

  I bought Windows 8 a month ago and have been using it since with no problems, until today, so a summary of what happened:
  I installed Windows 8 Pro 10/27/2012, performed a clean installation and created two user accounts for security reasons, an administrator account (Windows Live) and a local user account, the account that I use every day (UAC enabled etc.).
  I have two running, Norton 360, and Webroot SecureAnywhere security solutions, all being two completely up to date and security scans are frequently performed.
  During this last month, I also installed a reliable software (like steam, backup and other software), and whenever I need to install new software I need elevation (UAC) and need to enter the Admin password in order to give the user rights to install or modify all parameters (so I know that my password is OK).
  Now, today, when I arrived home, Sugarsync software found one updated and asked to rise. I entered the password, but it was not accepted... I thought that I was entered miss it so I tried again and again and again and again... It is not just to be accepted. I, of course, knew the password has been entered correctly because I need to enter more than once per day every day for the last month and I entered without any problems (I checked the keyboard and language settings and open the notebook and typed the password to make sure it wasn't a mistake of keyboard or something). Then I though my Windows Live account has been compromised and tried to connect, the connection was successful, be it I choose Reset the password and changed. Even after changing the password, the connection has failed.
  Recovery, I know that no one has changed my admin password. I know also that I am correctly enter and my Windows Live account is OK (at least it seems), now I'm locked in the normal user account.
  So the question is, is this a known problem? I read a few posts on what seems to be the same problem, but they are all either abandoned or inconclusive.
  Although I backed everything up, I really do not want to perform another installation, is an official Microsoft Fix it?
  Any help is welcome.
  Kind regards.

  Hello Arellianna.

  I had a problem on logging Admin because the administrator account is a Windows Live account and it has been locked by Webroot fix anywhere, but once Webroot has launched an update, everything was fixed.

  But do you have security solutions installed? Your local account or is it a Windows Live account? If it's a Live account, you can connect to Windows Live using a browser and your credentials?

  Kind regards.

• Unable to log on as an ADMINISTRATOR after the new facility (APEX 3.2 on 10.2.0.3.0)

  I got a new APEX 3.2 on 10g installation (Apache and DB both running on Windows Server 2003)
  
  Everything seems to have successfully completed, and I copied the images directory and updated the file dads.conf with the location, as follows:
  
  Alias is "C:\OraHome_HTTPserver\ohs\images/" <-used some backslashes for all but the last slash
  
  I stopped and restarted the server HTTP.
  
  I can get to http://myserver:7777 / pls/apex/apex_admin, but after you enter the user name = admin and the password, nothing happens.
  
  If I click on icon problem on the lower left corner of the browser (internet explore) the popup displays error: object EXPECTED
  
  I've seen several similar issues here, and they seem to all point to a problem with the images. But, if it's my problem, how to solve it?
  
  Thank you
  Terry

  Check the zip file that you have installed APEX of. If these files are missing there, too, you could have a damaged APEX installation file.

• How can I get the error "Unable to start the service" on attempts to run administrative tools (including the Services application) when logged in as an administrator?

  A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
   
  I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable.  I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '.  I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped.  (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...)  I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.

  I got lucky.  I called a local, independent computer store.  Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS.  It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows.  On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11).  But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account.  I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
   
  Thanks to all who responded.
   
  Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security.  Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state.  A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.

• Do you want to install the program on the Satellite A500 - need to log on as an administrator

  Just bought A500. Logged in as an administrator. Try to install a program on CD.
  The system indicates that I need to log on as an administrator.

  How can I fix this problem?

  Is your new Satellite preinstalled with original Win7 or you use clean install of the OS?
  What program you want to install?

  Sorry for the question but it is somewhat strange.

  I'm trying to uninstall lightscribe that came pre-installed on my computer and I continue to be asked to log in as an administrator and I don't know where or how to do it.

  In my case, just by running the "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common" at CMD with ADMIN rights and by following the steps in uninstalling was enough.

• Windows Update requires approval from the Admin while logged in as an administrator

  I recently reinstalled Vista Ultimate after some adventures with a bad copy of Windows 7.  I am the administrator.  The only account that I currently have is the admin. account.  Any update I try to install, Windows Update asks me to log on as an administrator or ask one to perform the task for me.  I read articles and Q & A @http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistasecurity/thread/afa66485-9c42-469e-b393-5bd8ad5a82e5 until my eyes bled.  For the love of God: why this cannot be resolved so much hassle?

  * Title *.
  I am administrator BUT Windows Update told Me I need to provide permission administrator logon as administrator or by asking an administrator to perform tasks for me

  I had the same problem with Windows updates asking permission of the administrator when I was logged in as an administrator. Sometimes the Windows updates works fine and sometimes it has its flaws, but there is usually a way around it if you want to install the update. And here's one to try: go to start > Windows Update. You can eliminate the problem promptly Admin here by clicking on change settings in the sidebar and check the box that allow all users to install updates on this computer. You can always change it back again after you install the updates that you want. I hope this helps.

• Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect, but immediately disconnected return.

  Original title: why my account automatically disconnect?

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect but then before he's even changed screens, immediately disconnect back.
  I can connect to it using safe and I ran Anti-malware, Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care and they have all come without any problem.
  Now, I guess I'm using an account with administrative privileges but different. I just need to open Windows Media Center, but every time I try, it says: I'm on the guest account. My machine won't let me create a new account, delete other accounts, or even to change the passwords. In addition, a random ASP.NET account appears and I can't remove it.
  I don't understand what I could do wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Jorgomli,

  1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to connect?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1:

  Because you can connect to the account administrator in safe mode, you can try to create a new safe mode administrator account and check.

  Check out the link:

  Create a user account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

  Step 2:

  If still face problems, then you can try setting the default Administrator account and check if you can solve the problem.

  a. click the Start button

  (b) in the Start Menu, click all programs followed accessories

  c. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option

  e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  f. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

  g. close the elevated command prompt.

  h. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  i. click the photo icon display built-in Administrator account and connect to it.

  If the problem is resolved, then you can create a new administrator account and check.

  You can try to create a new administrator account by following the link:

• Error message: problem loading parameters and check the event log or ask the administrator

  My wallpaper, the desktop icons and most of my documents are gone.

  I have Vista Home Premium and a couple of days and I connected my desktop background was changed. Several desktop icons are missing, and a message came up saying there was a problem loading my settings and check the event log, or ask the administrator (me) for more details. All my "Favorites" were missing in the sidebar and my documents and recorded images folders are empty. Microsoft customer service tells me there is an error in my code for the identification of product (from the Windows Activation in systems and Maintenance) so I can't help out.

  Any thoughts? Thank you!

  Hello, G25

  It is likely that your user profile is damaged. I would advise to create a new user account and test if you get any errors. If everything works as expected under the new user account, you can start to recover your account profile by following the steps on the following link: difficulty of a user profile is corrupted
