I know it's an old question, I answer to provide assistance to others who might neeed (as I did 5 minutes ago)

I just had the same thing happen after a massive motherboard failure.  I've restored the missing user accounts by going to control panel (Classic view), tools for administration, computer management, local users and groups, users folder.

I saw the missing accounts there.  Double-click an account you want to resolve. Click on the tab "member of."  Use the Add button to add the Group appropriate to that list.  Administrator for admins, user for non-admin users.  There are other choice you can search folder under users and groups, not sure they all are.

Thank you for me to enter the neighborhood so I could understand that.

  • Errors of installation of programs that require administrator privileges - ON a user administrator account

    I don't necessarily get coverage error messages (and in some cases I don't get any other error message that the computer tells me an error has occurred), but when I try to install/load of programs that are based on the internet (Viewer gotomypc, photo uploader facebook, other programs uploader, etc.) I can not install the program, unless I have save the file on my computer then right click on the file and select "Run as Administrator" When my user account is the main account on my PC.

    My account shows that it is an admin acocunt, so it's not as if this has been changed.

    I can't pin-point when this started to happen, but it lasts for quite awhile - maybe since the latest service pack installed...?

    This is the normal way to solve any problems with the installation of programs > download/save to the desktop > right - click > run as admin.

  • Cannot remove folder AppData in the closed user - administrator account is not enough - owner is "HomeUsers' - OS Win7 Home Premium

    Because it is not possible in Home Premium Win7 for access to the control administrator privileges, I can't understand how to erase all files from the folder of the deleted user.  The user, Jake, had somehow "HomeUsers" as long as the owner of the folder for some reason any.  I checked in another location and Jake folder has been shared with the residential group which is listed as the owner?

    Can I download a utility that will allow me to have the equivalent of control of folders and groups in professional Win7 and Optimum of operation systems.  All I want to do is remove AppData folder hidden from Jake and all of its subfolders.  I tried to change the owner of HomeUsers to the administrator which I already activated.  But the administrator does not sufficient privileges to delete the folder and subfolders, one at a time or all at once. Or from the bottom up (first of all the latest files and folders).

    From what I see in Google ads there are a lot of hit us this security risk... The folder has been shared and accessible for a reason even if we used Page sharing to enable sharing and direct access to the records is used to disable sharing. That's why I pulled off the system Jake account.  We need assistance.  It's not a glitch in nice.  Something had access to our system and that access to create a more powerful than the administrator user.

    Try to delete the file when logged in as an administrator in Mode safe account. If failure repeated, follow these steps:

    1. Use F8 during startup to start the machine in Repair Mode.
    2. Open a command prompt.
    3. Type this command:
      RD /s /q C:\Users\Jake

    Deleting a folder of this profile is permanent. You will not be able to restore it from the Recycle Bin.

  • Administrator account has no password - how to fix this?

    I help fix a Windows XP Pro computer for a friend.  He got divorced and remove his ex-wife and son of user accounts.  However, as I understand it, there is a problem.  When you go into control panel > users there are now 2 users... Administrator and Greg (also a Director)... or has a password associated with it.   When the computer restarts the two icons seem to choose user... no password is required to continue.

    I think that something is wrong.  Should not the administrator user account has a password, even if other users are not?   Is not a security feature?   I guess someone has been playing with the accounts and that damn, but I don't know how to fix it.

    What we want to do, it's the computer starts without clicking on a user icon or use a password.  The user administrator account shouldn't like to be in the background?  Read somewhere that if you go in Mode safe that the original administrator with password user account will be there.    Huh?

    Tips are welcome.
    Thank you.

    It is not * necessary * that you have any password on your system.  It's * sage * have accounts level administrative camps, each with a password and use a non-adminitsrative level account for everyday tasks.

    I don't know what you read and where you read - but given your operating system - it is incorrect.  Combinations of name of user and password in Mode safe are the same as in normal mode.  In Windows XP Professional, you can see and use the built-in secure and normal mode administrator account.  It's Windows XP Home Edition, where you can only login as administrator integrated mode without failure.

    Really, you MUST assign a password to all accounts.  You really should create a new user to be used every day (not administrator).  You can set up an automatic connection to one of these accounts - I recommend the non-admin.

  • Could not locate the administrator account

    I recently added several "standard user accounts" to my computer, but last night after cutting one of the additional accounts, I realized that my administrator account was not long on the list of accounts. I don't think I have deleted or renamed it accidentally, but I can't find it on my computer. There are important files that have been registered under this account that I can't access now. Help, please.

    Hi MsTiaLatrice,

     
    Try the following steps to cross check whether or not the user administrator account exists on the computer.
    Step 1: Control user name accounts and their type of account on the computer
    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel and click user accounts and family safety.
    b. click on user accounts, and then click on manage another account.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. you should see a list of user accounts with user name and account type which is administrator or standard user account.
    d. include the name of the administrator user account and restart the computer to connect to the admin account.
     
    Note: You can rename the user account, but cannot delete the user account by logging in on the same user account. If you deleted the user by logging admin account to the other admin account, then much can do anything. However if you had saved the files before you delete the user account, then you can search for files to check if they exist.
     
    Step 2: Search for files from the user to see if they exist
    see Tips for finding files .

    The system hides the built-in Administrator account on Windows XP Home Edition when you create a second administrator account and she is only available for use by visiting Mode safe.  You can copy the profile of the account administrator part of your new account.

    Follow the instructions here: to copy a user profile

    Note that you can not copy a profile to or from the account that you are currently connected, if you want to copy the user profile to user B, you must be connected with the C & C user the user must have administrator privileges.
