Using the administrator, windows 8.

I recently tried to change the settings of windows 8 for when I closed my laptop I put the password each time. so I screwed up round with some settings and now I can not access my own administration options, he put my user to a standard user, when it allows to be administrator, and now I can't change it to the way it was because when I try to access something that changes whatever it is I need to be an admin , but then the window opens for me to put in my stuff to be an administrator. but I can not because he asks me a card chip, I don't have a smart card, or I don't know what one is. So basically I can't change this setting because I have to be an admin to change it, but I can't because I don't have a 'smart card '. Help, please.

In this case I go back in menu troubleshooting (where you got in Mode safe) and use system restore to go back to before the bad change.

  • Cannot access the internet using the account invited in Vista. Unable to access using the administrator account.

    This one is strange - and I repeat that the problem is that I can't access the internet by using the administrator account.  The guest account works fine.  All programs are there and launch the fine (IE, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc.), but they cling right there when I try to log on or access to any Web site.

    While in the administrator account, I ran "CMD" in the run menu and can ping Yahoo, Google, etc. with success.  It's embarrassing - any ideas how the administrator account can act that way then the guest account works perfectly?

  • Can I use the same windows on my virtual machine?

    I had windows pre-installed in my dell laptop (Latitude E6420). I did not have the cd key but I extracted using a program called Magical jelly bean key finder. Now, I have the following information on my windows installation

    Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
    Product no.: XXXXXXXX
    Installed from media "OEM."

    Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
    I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

    More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

    The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

    Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

  • cannot unset'read only "using the Properties window

    After a blip in the update, I have a lot of files in a folder that I am unable to fix it, because they are 'read only' and will not change using the unset opyion in "Properties".

    Here's what to do.

    FIRST: you sing in your Windows as an administrator. Windows 7 and Vista disable by default. In the menu START > Accessories, right-click on command prompt and click Run as administrator. In the command line type

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    (be sure to use the space before the slash). You should receive confirmation of success.

    Then go to the folder in question Properties dialog box and on the tab security add user everyone and give him full privileges.

    You should be able to access the folder as desired.

  • How to use the administrator account on the laptop?

    Hello
    Can any body tell me how to find my administrator account on my laptop the girl in order to be able to use the control feature parent? What happened is I bought a new laptop for myself and intended to give the old one to my daughter. However, when I was at work my wife access to account on the old laptop then let my daughter use this portable old without disconnection. That's why my daughter has changed the setting on this old laptop by creating an administrator account for herself and a standard account for myself. After that I came home and knew I told my daughter to give up the administrator account to me. However, what does my daughter has created a new standard account for herself and remove an administrator account. So, for now, there is no administrator represent that old laptop and I have the right to the administrator to make a change.

    If you cannot connect to your admin account, no tutorials can help you because they need you to connect to an administrator account to carry out the instructions.

    See if the following can get an admin account...

    Go to Safe Mode...

    Restart your computer > immediately and repeatedly pressing the F8 key until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Mode safe mode with networking.

    Now, while in safe mode, you perform one of the following?

    1 can connect to your account admin without the error message?
    If so, do. Then do a system restore. Choose a date when you were free to login to your account admin as your restore point.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    If the system restore does not slove the problem, then use this tutorial

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215

    2. If you are unable to log in to your account administrator in safe mode, you see another administrator next to your account?
    If so, you are lucky. This is the built-in Administrator account.
    There is, by default, no password.
    It could connect and do the system restore.

    If the system restore is not enough, then perform the tutorial even as above:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215

    If you can't do or of what precedes, I'm afraid you will have to re - install your Vista.

  • I have a problem with the connection to the computer by using the administrator password.

    Original title: RESET MY ADMINISTRATIVE PASSWORD!

    I read a LOT of reviews Q & A on this website that attempt to explain how to change a password administration windows 7, but none have helped. I wanted to put parental controls on my account initially in order to avoid the display of some sites on my browser. Of course, I didn't understand that this control is defined in the internet options. In my ignorance, I went for the parental controls in Control Panel but found that I couldn't put parental controls on my account because it was the only account and, therefore, the administrator. To set up parental controls, I created a new account. Later, I changed the settings of the account on both accounts. I changed the new administrator account and changed the original account (use the Everyone account) to a standard user. Therefore, I have contiunued to try to put in place controls, but I was interrupted by a completely random computer restart! I DID NOT HAVE IT! I was pretty confused, but I decided that I would forget the reboot and connect to my new administrator account to continue with the configuration of the parental control. Do not forget that I have not set a password for this new account yet, so I wasn't surprised when he asked for a new password. So I typed in my old password from my previous account, (who had been the administrator password), typed the password twice and you press on enter. He said it was the wrong password. I typed in every password I've ever had in and since then I have not had administrative access to my own computer. I tried to access the cmd and as an administrator, but it NEED THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD! PLEASE HELP ME!

    Here you go:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before changed your account details.
    6. plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is taking a huge risk.

    Trying to create a repository using the tool of Administration and elected to import using the "SPOUT 10 g / 11 g.
    However, after you have entered the name of Data Source, the user name and password, I still get error "the connection failed".

    According to the help, the data source name must be the full connection string. I guess that means in the format < host >: < port >: < service >. Also, I guess the username and password are the DB schema.

  • How can I keep my current theme when you use the private window

    I went from using a complete theme for just a regular theme (one is no longer compatible with the 40.0.2 full update). When I open a private window I am presented with the default theme of Firefox with no way to change to one of the other themes that I try to apply. Is there something that I am missing, or was it a change that has taken place through many updates for Firefox, while I was still using the complete theme? I would like to use the theme on windows normal and private is it possible?

    Sorry, it's a 'function' private browsing and using a light theme. PB takes the default theme. Been like that for quite some time now - as can be as far as Firefox 29, 30 or 31.

  • I use v20.0.2 and restart using the same windows and tabs does NOT work. I deleted the profile and restarted, etc, but nothing seems to work. What now?

    Don't know what else I can give you here. This particular software function doesn't seem to work.

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not erase browsing history

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks).

    If you use a software like CCleaner cleaning then check the settings in the Firefox application.
