Win 7 Admin password lost stuck in the guest account

• Accidentally, by clicking on the security apparatus Softwear would disable my Win 8 admin password?

  I have no idea what could have happened to my password admin on my new Windows 8, (gateway NV), but it's not good! I have MONTHS of research on what I can not access to, and do not know how he would have changed, I am the only person who had it. I don't even know if this button was touched, I'm looking at all the possible things that could influence a password parameter.
  It happened when I had multiple open windows, for the most part to different legal sites, as ILCS & heritage.org, sites that I wouldn't think would be compromised. I have installed Norton. Also Malwarebites, both have proved to be effective and will work together. I starts to implement the program of the voice, & was the programming of the microphone. It's the last thing I was doing.
  The speakers muffled, then a reverberation resonated... This still is, & it picks up every little sound of echo.my dogs lose their minds, it's kinda weird for me also. But the more I tried to find a way to stop it, more I didn' there know what I was doing, of course. The next thing that happened was whenever I click to access anything EITHER, the Admin password screen opens, but the password I have on all three of my computers no longer works on this one, and it's where all the one is I NEED for my research. They are originl and cannot be replaced, I have not even the camera or whatever it is now. So, they are not saved anywhere else. I have network the computers together, so I can access photos of each of them, for different parts of the book that is intended for the computer. But I can't access them on those other PC either, without Admin PW... What the hell happened?

  Sorry, this really sound like a Windows support question and not at all related to Firefox. First thing to do would be to talk to the bridge (since it's a new device) and see if their support can help you.

• I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password

  original title: help please!

  I have windows vista on my acer aspire 5517 I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password... I don't have a dics in it plese... I need help ASAP

  Next time please post in a forum of Vista. This one is for Windows 7. But since you're here:

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, 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.

  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 [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [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.

  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 Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair 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 to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  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.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  What to do if you forget your Windows password

  If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password.

• System default admin for the guest account

  original title: system admin__

  How to make so that the main user... (System Administrator) the main user on the page "comments"? So I don't have to ask permission to download things.

  It can be done - especially because of reasons of programming and security. In fact, you really should not use the guest at all account (for the same reason - pirates too know it is there and can often enter your system through it).  The best approach is to create a standard user for guests account and just leave the guest account disabled.  Yes, I know that the account exists and it is not well said by Microsoft about it, but to be on these forums and see thousands of posts, I can tell you that most experts and authors of long-term response do not recommend its use at all.  Most would have a fit to the idea of giving this account of administrative privileges (and thank God that you proposed is not possible).  I mean really, you honestly want to give a guest (even your best friend or a parent) THAT kind of access to your system and your files?  Even if it were possible, I would NEVER consider such a thing.

  Again, I suggest you to disable the account invited and set up a standard account for your guests.  It's much safer and not that much more work for all the world.  In addition, since it implies that this is the case, I suggest that you do not use an administrator account for day-to-day activities (for security reasons - if someone hacks in there they have access to your entire system!).  Set up a regular user account to use on a daily basis and use the account administrator only when necessary.

  I hope this helps and even if it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, it's the answer you needed to hear.  A good firewall and security software cannot go that far (and necessary), but you must also practice good safety habits as well.  I can't tell you how many people I have seen here that have been hacked or attacked by malicious software not because they had not the right software installed and running, but because of the way they have used their system (absence of passwords, wireless unsecured, leave the machine unattended without first locking or at least using a locking screen saver) ,...).  And in some cases, the only way to recover was a clean install, and they lost all their programs and settngs (although most were able to record their data with our help).  I really want to see you back here as one of those people.

  Good luck!

• Installed NEWSid, restarted, now I am obliged in the guest account and can't make admin account or change the guest account.

  I had to run NEWSid due to software, I bought and installed (Stardock Objectdock) and required me to restart. Upon reboot, I had the guest account and couldn't change little matter what I tried. Here are things I tried.

  (1) goes UAC and by creating an account admin, but when I put a name in the name field, it tells me I have the invalid text when I do.

  2) restart in safe mode to create the Admin account or change the parameters of control of the accounts in this way and the same thing happens as a #1.

  Reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit 3) compared to the original, which does nothing to help.

  After research, I learned that using NEWSid with Vista causes this problem a lot, but the only solution I found is to use a recovery system disk (the only disc that came with my purchase of the computer has been the Cyberpower restore disc that contains only Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit.

  I am at a loss what to do, what I'm in the guest account and can't get out. System Restore did nothing as well until I reinstalled Vista. When I tried to run the system restore, it told me the Volume Shadow service was not working, but as part of the services, it has been set to automatic.

  Hi Rizzano,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  If you are unable to connect to the administrator account, you will be unable to make changes on the computer by using the guest account.

  I think you did an in place upgrade which means it replaces the file system and makes no changes to the user account.

  You try to activate the construction in the administrator account and check if it works.

  If you are able to connect on windows first try to create a new administrator account.

  To activate the built-in Administrator account, follow these steps:

  
  1. click Startand type cmd in the Search boxof start.
  2. in the list of search results, right-click Guest, and then click run as administrator.
  3. When you are prompted by user account control, click continue.
  4. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
  5. type net user administrator , , and then press ENTER.
  Note: Please replace the tag with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account.
  6. type exitand press ENTER.
  7 log off the current user account.

  HOW to: Enable the build-in the administrator account in Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555910

   

  If the steps above does not resolve the question suggest that you try to restore the system from the mode or using the disk safe.

  To use the Windows recovery environment, you must have the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc. To start the Windows recovery environment, follow these steps:

  1.	Insert the installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
  2.	Press a key when you are prompted.
  3.	Select a language, time and currency and keyboard or input method, and then click on Next.
  4.	Click on your computer repair.
  5.	In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click on Next.

  In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point created before the problem occurred.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Let me know if it worked.

  All the best!

• After an automatic update, lastnight (13 December), has lost access to the internet through the guest account.

  Original title: Guest account Internet connection

  I am using an account on windows 7

  There has just been an automatic update, lastnight (13 December), and now I've lost access to internet through the guest account.

  I think that because of the update, the administrator must log or something, but I'm lost what to do. The internet worked for the guest before the update account and I do not have the administrator password. The administrator has not used the computer because I had an internet connection, as they went on vacation. I'm looking after their cats!

  Any help would be great.

  See you soon

  Hi Tom,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  Since you lost the internet connection after updating, you may need to update the NIC drivers to retrieve the connection. This is possible only if you have administrator privileges.

  For more information, see the article:

  What is a guest account?

  However, you can check if you can try the steps in the article to resolve the problem. If this isn't the case, you may need to wait for the administrator to return the party to the same difficulty.

• How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?

  How I find myself with two passwords to iCloud for the same account?

  For security reasons, I only use iCloud for Contacts and "find my iPhone".

  Several months ago Apple forced me to change my password to iCloud.  So I did this.   In the last months, I used successfully the new password to 10 or 12 times when asked without problem.

  However, I received a notification of a software update for my Apple Watch. I did the update without problem. However, after completing the update my iPhone asked me to connect to my iCloud account. When I did this, she rejected my password. I made 4 attempts typing very slowly and with care for you sure I did it right.

  Then, operating under a hunch, I decided to enter my old password to iCloud. It worked?  I'm confused about this, any ideas would be appreciated.

  I had a similar problem last year. I had to call Apple. Contact is a bottom of this page.

  "(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

  1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

  2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

  3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

  4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

  5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

  Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.
