User accounts get corrupted!

Similar Questions

• My user account is corrupted. I want to put everything in a new account. Is there a way to do this?

  I checked other accounts that are used and all seem to work well. You want to try this to see if it could be an easy fix.

  You can try this, but if you have a private account, this will not work:

  Log on to an administrator account
  Go to my computer
  Go to the Local disk C(or whatever drive you have the user accounts on)
  Go to Documents and Settings
  Go to your user name
  Copy the files to a flash drive or another location

• How can I get additional user accounts get rid as I am the only person who uses my computer?

  I'm the only user on my computer, so I am also administrator.  I don't want to deal with all the extra files created between User1 and administrator.  How to become just the Administrator without additional user?

  Don't use NO Windows 7 with a single account. In Windows 7, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default, and although it is possible to allow, this process may be beyond what you feel comfortable with.
  WHEN, and not IF you have problems to access your user account, you will have considerable problems if you don't have a SINGLE account to use.
   
  You need to forget about something to do with XP and create a user with administrator privileges, account (let's call him Admin or similar) and give it a password. Keep this account for access to emergency and for elevation purposes. Then change your account to a Standard user account. (There is absolutely no need to run as administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7, Windows 7 has the function of 'right-click-Run as Administrator "when you need administrator privileges). You'll be much safer and better protected than that.

• All locked or disabled to restart user accounts

  I was faced with a problem with my user accounts getting locked out/disabled every time that I reboot my system. I can't start in safe mode, I can't run the system restore, I can't do anything but run a startup disk that will allow me to unlock locked accounts and remove the passwords so now that I'm stuck without the disc I'm totally locked out of my system.

  I am not connect to any network or something like that so they aren't locking me. I think it's Windows or a virus, but I've scanned several times my virus from the system.

  I realize maybe there's not much I can do until I have retrieve the boot disk, but I want to solve this problem, so it is not keep happening to me.

  Hi Mchase34,

  You will need to make arrangements for the drive of the Windows operating system. Once you have the startup disk, and then follow the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

• Records videos of user accounts keep automatically replace it with the wrong name

  On my Windows XP computer, there is an account called user owner (an administrative account that exists by default on this computer) and two other user accounts that have administrative rights.  For some reason, the other accounts in addition to owner have their videos files labeled as 'The owner Videos.'  However the content of these files do not belong to the owner.  When I in the other profiles besides owner, 'videos of the owner' changes 'My videos', just as it is supposed to.  Windows Explorer in these other profiles also revealed as the owner account records of users other videos are titled 'The owner Videos.'  Videos of the real owner file is displayed correctly, so I don't understand why the videos of other users not displayed right.  Change of name does not help, just ask.  Removing the wrong accounts and re - create does nothing, either.  What should I do now?

  Never mind.  I solved the problem.  Using Windows Explorer, I went to all video files of users who appeared as videos of the owner.  The address bar should be activated for this.  At the end of the address in the video folder, I added the following text: \desktop.ini.  Thus, for example: C:\Documents and Settings\Sample My Documents\My Videos\desktop.ini.  He grew the notebook with all the information on desktop.ini.  I looked at the text and came across the problem.  Line 6 owner = owner said.  I changed the text to this line to tell owner = sample user.  I saved the change and the videos folder has been fixed to be labeled as 'Videos of the owner' to 'The sample user Videos.'  I used "Sample user" in this post to indicate to users other than the owner who all had the problem.  I repeated the same thing for the files of other users.  I know that this probably will not stop future created user accounts get the wrong name for the records of videos, but at least I know how to fix the problem after it is already in place.  The same fix can be applied to images, music and other personal records that are mislabeled.  I hope this works for someone else who runs into this problem.

• 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:

• I forgot the password on the administrator in Vista user account, is there a way to get around this?

  have a dell computer with a hard drive partitioned, which has vista with 2 user accounts with my administrative password which I have forgotten, or it got corrupted and a second account username I can always access.  2 other partitions are a D and Windows 7 recovery on the 3rd drive.

  So I have access to the internet but cannot make any changes on the disk of Vista due to permission problems that require the password.

  I made a disc of ophcrack, but I can't seem to work and produce results other than the vacuum automatically

  any suggestions?

  * original title - forgotten password on my user account which is the level of the administrator, so no matter what I try, it takes the password to get approval... . How do I get around this? *

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that no assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords and can help you certainly not with the cracking of passwords tools

• I got 3 accounts, two were administrator accounts and a regular user account. Now, I find that both my administrator accounts have become odinary leaving me without any user accounts administrator account. How can I now get an administrator account?

  I don't remember doing anything that could have caused this problem.

  Enable the built-in Administrator account log in, make your changes to user accounts, search for malware to be proactive.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  First try a system restore to when things worked. If this fixes things, very well. If this is not the case, try to start in Safe Mode, because the normally disabled built-in Administrator account can be activated if no other administrative user is available on the system. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the diagnostic menu where you can use your arrow key to select Mode without failure. If the built-in administrator is enabled, you will see an icon for it on the Welcome screen.

  If the above does not work:

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

  Remove the installation DVD and reboot the system in normal Mode. You will see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen. If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair the system Windows Vista (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. If this isn't the case, you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  After net user, remove the bootable CD and restart the computer. You will now see an icon for administrator on the Welcome screen. Connect to this account. After getting things sorted, disable the administrator built-in yet for security reasons * after * creation of a user and administrative per the recommendations below.

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

• A user account cannot run a .exe, only to get hold to open/save.

  A user account running on this PC suddenly can't startup such as IE applications, Solutions from HP, widget bar displaying stopped, etc. could be a virus, the user compained about nagging holdup to install virus protection, even if we have MacAfee in place and fine workmanship, all protections in place. Double click on IE icon to start and gets the heist to open or save the .exe file. How should I do? I'm an admin, but I don't see a way to solve this problem in the mapping of types of files/mimetypes.

  Hi Iluvtunes,

  This could be a problem with the corruption of the user profiles, because this issue is not with the other user accounts. I suggest to create a new user and check if the problem persists.

  Steps to create a new user profile.

  1. Open a user account by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
  2. Click Manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. Click create a new account.
  4. Type the name that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.

  If the new user account works fine, then you can copy all the files to the new user profile.

This account is the administrator and I am unable to exercise the functions of don't. I'm looking to reset the password for this user account. There is no other directors on this computer

  This is often caused by malware infection, then when you get home it would be wise to do a scan.

  You can change your password to something you remember (or use a white) another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

• Need permissions in Win 7 to take possession of the corrupt administrator (user) account

  I have a corrupt administrator user account that is only available in safe mode, at the command prompt.  I created another user account that gives me the Windows interface and I'm now trying to "own the administrator account to copy my files to my new user account."

  I am not able to access or change anything from anywhere or management; (Registry, other user accounts, other folders or files, properties or fields etc.) due to the restrictions on my PC.  I tried to use the takeown.exe tool, but I'm not sure what should be entered in the command line.  I read on the parameters to TO, but do not seem to get any results.

  Your advice is appreciated... Thank you!

  Since you were using the command prompt window when you created the new user, I just assumed you have made using the command:

  NET user newuser * / add

  where 'newuser' is the name of the new user?

  Did you also give this privilege to administrator newuser entering control:

  net localgroup administrators newuser / add

  While logged as administrator?

  It would be necessary to perform the actions that you are trying to do.

• How to get a user account who disappeared?

  I created a limited user account for my son, and when I am connected to my computer the next day, my owner account was gone.  Where it's going and how do I get it back?

  Hi DoodyDave,

  Do you mean that you can not see the name of the account in the home screen? Log on to your system as administrator (press ALT CTRL DEL, twice at the Welcome screen).

  Now click on start-> Run Type &-> Regedit-> ok.

  Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> Microsoft-> Windows NT-> CurrentVersion-> Winlogon-> SpecialAccounts-> UserList

  Double-click the name of your account, and set the value to 1.

  When the computer reboots, you will get your account name in the Welcome screen.

  I hope this helps.
