What is going with my admin account

• cannot access the files of another user with the admin account

  I'm on a computer with Windows Vista 64-bit home problems.
  I normally have the computer configured to connect automatically to a non privileged user and rarely use the admin account.
  Recently, I downloaded an update (Finally, more like a relocation to the latest version) and realized that I need the admin account to install properly for all users that UAC would make things a royal PITA with a zillion prompts.

  I quickly disconnected and logged in as admin. Then, I realized that the installation file has been stored in the "downloads" folder in my regular account.
  Worse still, I could not access this folder, or I couldn't tab of future security. All I could do was to 'change the property' to my admin account, but I really didn't block me on these issues. Even from Explorer using "run as administrator" gave me problems, although the DIR command in cmd.com would be the list of people.

  I used the "change user" function to log my account regular and checked the Security tab and saw that the "Administrators" Group had already read and checked 'total control '. Why can't access the admin account? As an admin with XP, I had free access to everything I wanted to leave that I wanted.

  What happens if I was a parent and wanted to check to make sure that my child was not software piracy or download illegal music that would get stuck with the fines because I'm his guardian? How would I go about checking his records?

  What happens if I was an employer at a small office using working groups and wanted to ensure that the employee was not downloading pornography?

  How can I use the powers of the administrator to access other files (regular) user?
  Why do I still need to ask this question? It was automatic under NT, 2000, XP and the various servers at least as high as 2003.

  I found the problem, it was ANOTHER problem with Norton Security Suite for Comcast.
  I uninstalled and did not only to release 100 GIGABYTES of space, my boot time has been cut to a quarter of the former time, and this problem has disappeared.

  If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you are not on a domain (most of the individuals are not on a domain), you can reset your password by using a reset disk of password or by using an administrator account.

  If you forget the administrator password, and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password. If there is no other user account on the computer, you will not be able to connect to Windows and you will need to re - install Windows.

  Earlier today a support rep instructed me to create an account admin or 'root' (as opposed to my usual personal account on my computer) in order to download package adobe creative cloud Manager.

  (B) be able to access it from my usual personal account on my computer

  Please let me know if you have any tips!

  Can you confirm the operating system you are using and the error you receive? A screenshot would be useful.

  Hello

  I have intalled SBS 2008 on my server. Yesterday he installed updates, now I can't connect using my administrator account (it says wrong user name and password). The only way I could log in with my credentials is hollow in Safe Mode.
  The server is used as a controller of domain, MS Exchange and the file and printer sharing. None of these processes work properly. I can access the drives mapped to the user's computer and Office does not connect to Microsoft Exchange.

• Win7: I want a total and absolute control on my Admin account. It seems impossible.

  I continue to have problems with files that sometimes allow editing and sometimes are not.  I want to put any hard drive, really the whole computer with all Full Admin/access control readers.  Is that humanly possible?  I put privileges with my Admin account which seems to have total control, then a few minutes later, I can't save a modified file.  What gives?

  I disabled the pagefile was thus able to delete that file.  Win7 was installed on a 28 GB SSD and filling her place quickly with only 10 GB free.

  -> Using an SSD makes Windows run faster. Disable the paging file allows to run more slowly.

  I thought I could delete the hibernation file, but the thing is still there.  I do not need or use hibernation and its disabled.

  -> Here are the brief instructions to remove the file. They assume a familiarity with Windows unchanged.

  1. Press F8 during startup, and then start the machine in Windows Repair Mode.
  2. Open a command prompt.
  3. Find the drive where hiberfil.sys. It could be C:, D:, E: or F:. I'll call q.
  4. Type these commands:
     takeown /F Q:\hiberfil.sys
     Cacls Q:\hiberfil.sys /e /g everyone: F
     attrib - r-h-s Q:\hiberfil.sys
     del Q:\hiberfil.sys

  If you do not disable really ease of Hibernate Windows will recreate the file on the next reboot.

• CHANGE THE MAIN ADMIN ACCOUNT: WINDOWS 7

  Hi all

  I want to change the main admin account on Windows 7, so I can remove the second account admin on my machine.

  I put my machine using my admin account but had a problem with and an Adobe program. Adobe technology has created a second admin account, account now appears to be set as primary and I can not change the options for the account, much less delete it but I would like to make.

  Can someone tell me if there is a solution to this?

  See below:

  1. This is my main account, and he's always been. I click on 'manage another account '.

  

  2. He takes me to the screen. I click on "Administrator". Administrator. "

  

  3. no options to change the account are available. This is the account that Adobe technology created AFTER the story of 'Kevin Byers' had been used as my main admin account.

  

  The strange thing is that these options ARE available on my main account. The FIRST account created on this machine.

  PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE ACCOUNT I USED TO LOG IN.

  

  So I guess the question is: why was the SECOND admin account changed to primary school, why can't change this back, and why I can delete the account I'm logged in from this account?

  I've been racking my brain and no one I know can help. Searches provide nothing, so if you have anything it would be appreciated.

  Your problem is mainly due to some confusion.

  There is no 'primary' admin account in Windows 7. There are '' integrated '' account called "Administrator". It's still there. You can't create, edit or delete. Adobe technology has not created the it. He simply allowed her.

  You can disable the built-in Administrator account by using the sequence of steps shown below. Before you do, you should create, test, and document an alternative admin account. Why? It's for the same reason that you have a spare key to your House. A lot of people have in diabolical trouble in case something goes wrong with their one and only the account Admin happens all the time. With spare admin account, you are safe.

  1. Log in under your own admin account.
  2. Click the start planet.
  3. Type these letters: cmd.exe
  4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
  5. Accept the challenge.
  6. Enter the following command and press ENTER:

• have 2 admin accounts and it is impossible to get the option to remove one of them

  I created for the administrator accounts and cannot get the option to remove one of them. I want to delete that won't give me the option to delete all it will let me do is change the password, it says it will allow me to change the picture, but when I try blank on the login screen is displayed. I can't change it even for standard user if I am logged in under the account of other admin. what I want to do is get rid of all my accounts and re-created them correctly like the one that I can't delete will sometimes pop up for password when I want to install something when I am connected with the other account.

  Is it possible to reset all our and start from scratch? I think it happened when I made some changed account policy local when I couldn't get a regular with my admin account setup program and now I don't know how to cancel it.

  I do not have to reinstall windows just to get this problem resolved... There must be an easier way.

  Thanks in advance

  For the guest account - I have a little poorly stated.  You * can * remove, but it is not recommended to perform this (possible to unintended consequences.)  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-desktop/deleting-guest-account/5a116d33-0056-47CA-B51A-b6615b90e160

  Administrator account - as far as I know you just cannot delete the built-in one.  Whichever one you can NOT remove - who is integrated. * smile *.

  Rename you accounts?  If not - it is one called "administrator."  Alternatively, you can use a registry setting to understand - but really the name should give it (if you have not renamed - and even if he did you rename... You renamed, you must know what you renamed to) the description of the account should be, "the computer or to the domain administrative account '...

  At the end of the day - you must remove only the accounts you know * you * created.  Ignore the rest.  Windows is/has been / will probably always be a multi-user even system when it is used by a single user.  He has accounts that are doing things in the background at almost any time.  Better than to let them be - unless you like instability.

  Whenever you install something (attempt to) as a normal user, it should appear and ask you an administrative level account - but you can select 'other' and put in ANY account of administrative level on this machine, you know the credentials. ;-)

• Admin account happened after installing the netgear Equium pc wireless card

  I bought a netgear pc wireless card that I was assured was compatible with XP. After installation, I got to start where the Welcome screen had gone and I have a black screen with a newspaper box in details request.

  Only a limited account is shown.

  all the

  Any help... Please

  Hello

  seems really strange, especially after the installation of a pc wireless card software. I can give you a suggestion:

  EVERYTHING YOU DATA BACK UP AND REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

  I think that it is the only way, because when you describe you already tried almost every thing, then a recovery is inevitable. Copy/backup your data and put the new OS on the HARD drive.

  After that, make separate accounts (for example 3 accounts) and install the card netgear with the admin account. It should work.
  Would appreciate some comments.

  You said that you put your password into an application and then he does this?  What app did?  If I were you I run a system restore quick return to 24 hours ago and repair the damage he has caused.  This restoration will not change your files, it returns only return all the values of registry changed.  It takes about 2 minutes, and if you don't like you can cancel it, so you don't lose to try.
