Why invite them private for an administrator password or a confirmation character Editor?

Why? This post is for Matthew Cenance.

Hi Matthew,

Usually, we get the prompt for an administrator password or a confirmation when we open an application or program if we have active user account control.

This feature in Windows can help you keep control of your computer by you notifying when a program makes a change that requires administrator-level permission. UAC works by adjusting the level of permission to your user account. When the changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions, UAC notifies you. If you are an administrator, you can click Yes to continue. If you are not an administrator, someone with an administrator account on the computer will have to enter their password for you to continue.

For more information, see this link:

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    Hello, gentlemen,

    Unfortunately, I can't get into BIOS on my HP, I used to go WITHOUT any password, but after I deleted the main partition from HHD now, you need some sort of administrator password. Disable the 52298258 system. I have urgent need to boot from a USB key. I'd appreciate really any suggestion regarding this issue.

    Hi fox55

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    Try this step and check if it helps to solve your problem:

    Password sharing is turned on.

    Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing:

    Turn off password protected sharing. To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:

    2. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.

    3. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.

    4. click on turn off password protected sharing, and then click on apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Note: Password sharing is not available on computers that are on a domain.

    Also check this:

    Follow the steps to set password of the credentials under vacuum:

    Create a shortcut to (map) a network drive

    When you create a shortcut to a shared folder or computer on a network (also called mapping a network drive), you can get to it from the computer or the Windows Explorer without having to search or type its network address to each time.

    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2. click on map network drive.

    3. in the drive list, click a drive letter.

    4. you can choose any available letter.

    5. in the folder box, type the path of the folder or the computer, or click Browse to search for the folder or computer.

    6. to connect each time that you log on your computer, check Reconnect at logon .

    7. click on Finish.

    Your computer is now connected, or mapped, to the network drive.

    See this link for more information:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-shortcut-to-map-a-network-drive

    Are there deposits in the router that blocks access? If there is, then try to turn it off and check if you can connect to an external hard drive. Go to this link:

  • Problem with customization specifications setting Administrator Password Manager

    I have two problems.

    I have a model R2 Windows Server 2012 in a vCenter 5.1 (Build 1123961) environment. I created a vSphere Client Windows customization feedback, however, (and the main issue) I notice that it does not have the administrator password to what I entered after it don't this is sysprep deployment of a model.

    I've created a script around to do this, which works very well, unless I experience my second question. When customization is started, it creates the event "vim.event.Customization.StartedEvent". He is then supposed to create the 'vim.event.CustomizationSucceeded' event once it has successfully managed the customization, including the command sysprep (and setting the password). Occasionally, but does not trigger the event "vim.even.CustomizationSucceeded" until the days or weeks after the initial event of beginning of customization, which will cause the sysprep crush my difficulty scripts and not allow me to log in under the administrator because of the question first, main account.

    Any thought to why sysprep does not have the administrator password to what I specified in the customization of the OS? Or why the successful event of customization does not always raise after it was launched (in minutes and not days/weeks)?

    I ask just once more: the administrator password model guest empty OS?

    vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre : you can change the administrator password if the password for administrator on the Windows virtual machine is empty. If the model or the Windows virtual machine already has a password, the administrator password does not change.

    Hi Crkeckler,

    You may need to communicate with the person that you have brought the laptop, for the administrative password to access the computer, or you may need to contact Dell support to restore the computer laptop back to factory settings.

  • I've never had an administrative password before.

    We ordered this office directly from Dell.  When we got there, my husband and a good friend, who has worked on the computers most of his life (also has a comp. it Consulting who built or fix computers), put in place.  I'm at 99% of the time on it.  When the message came to you please enter your administrative password, I didn't know what he was talking about.  I called my husband and he had no idea.  So I called our friend and he said they have never implemented one and there never even remember asking for one, otherwise he would have done.  So many times I have not been able to open certain programs because he'll ask for my administrative password.  We bought Office home and student software to upgrade this computer and it won't let me not even download it because I do not have an Administrative password.  I took it to our typical products, which is an office store and supply and they counldn can't even fix.  I NEED HELP!

    He asks you for a password when you turn on the computer?
    If not, then try to call Dell technical support: http://support.dell.com/

    They will help you to solve this problem. Also, I suggest thatgo for the problem report (start-> search problem) and report all problems and see what the solutions are. Also try to download all the updates.
