Windows 7 administrative user account invalid password... locked out of my account user/admin.

Help!  I put an administrative password on my computer desktop Windows 7 ultimate function.  Did not have a password reset disk.

When the password is entered, a message invalid password, so I can't access my own account user/administrator.

I can get on a second user account, but of course who has none of my personal files, etc.  Is there a way to bypass and reset the admin password and access my account again?

Hi Kelperwitch.  Try to boot from your Windows 7 DVD and running system restore.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940765/en-us for more help here.

  • How to remove the Windows 7 Administrator user when I can't get into Windows

    My laptop was stolen, and all the disks.  When it was recovered by the police, it was returned to me with a password protected user account.  I tried the steps to connect safe mode, but that the same user account is presented as the administrator account.  I can't recover the system, given that the recovery disks were never me returned (very probably not recovered by the police) - even with the OS install disk, flew with the computer.

    How can I get into my computer and get back to work again?

    Use your Windows repair CD to start the computer in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to the Restore Point as soon as you can find. The chances are that this will be a point before they changed the password.

  • Windows 7 has become my comments login and I'm locked out of admin

    Hello

    I've been running W7 Pro 64 bit very happy for two months. When I installed, I made a user account for me with admin privileges (I'm the only user on this machine). All of a sudden yesterday I noticed that I could not do some things and on investigation found that W7 has become my admin account a guest one. Same account name, icon, the user files, but no right! I did nothing to cause it, as far as I know, it just happened. I don't think it's a virus, Kaspersky certainly is not report anything.


    I tried to boot from the DVD and by defining the built in Administrator account, but that the command window told me that the command executed successfully, when I restart I see no administrator account. Because I'm the only user I had previously defined netplwiz to connect automatically and I can't disarm that - I just get a window saying 'entry password administrator to run netplwiz' but there is no password box, probably because that there is no administrator account on the system.


    I seem to be completely locked out from changes to the admin of my system. First thing I will do when I get the machine working again, is to create an alternative admin account to use if it never happens again, but for now, I'm completely stuffed.


    Can someone help, please?


    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    UPDATE: I booted in safe mode with command prompt and run lusrmgr.msc to view accounts. Administrator account is here, just can't see on login screens. I thought that the administrator password should be blank (or perhaps the same one that I put in place with my initial admin-level account), so I tried shift-right-click netplwiz and selecting run as another user, and then typing in Administrator and white as well as a selection of passwords possible. No joy. It does not accept any combination of names of users and passwords.

    So, how to use the administrator account?

    Aaaaaargh!

    I have fixed my problem on Windows 7 guest user.  The problem is after I added the computer successfully in my area, I decided to change the name of the computer. So I changed the name and the past of the domain to the working group. After rebooting I connected under the no original domain account, I created, but it was no longer a member of the administrator group and has been labeled as guest user account type.  I had not enabled the administrator account.

    The solution: press F8 at startup for Advanced Startup Options.  Select the option 'Safe Mode with command prompt'.  I was given the opportunity to log on as an administrator, and I did.

    I entered my orders, first to change the admin password then command to activate the administrator account:

    "password net user administrator"-password the password to use.  (Password must meet complexity requirements)

    "net user administrator / Active: Yes.

    Computer restarted and I is presented with the option to connect as administrator.  Connected and managed to create a new account and add to the domain.

    I actually found the problem. He was not with the password Bios "Fireport" itself, but the Wyse keyboard accompanying the Thin Client Z90D7.

    The keyboard has a manufacturing defect which depresses the key 'G' each time you press the button "T". A drop test good with the keyboard, released what was causing the problem, and I'm back in business...

  • Windows XP Administrative lockout user account

    I have a windows XP and we have a total of four accounts of users one of our children set up the administrator user account and I forgot the password now we are locked out of all the administrative capabilities and microsoft applications of Word Please help as soon as possible, we are needing to use these programs.

    I'm not sure what running MS Word has to do with what you wrote (the word should open fine in a limited user account), but here's how to fix your password.

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I have a user account, but the type is standard user... I can't create an administrator user... because when I press on it see something that says that WINDOWS needs YOUR permission TO CONTINUE to create... Fix this please...

    I have a user account, but the type is standard user... I can't create an administrator user... because when I press on it see something that says that WINDOWS needs YOUR permission TO CONTINUE to create... Fix this please...

    To create an administrator account, you must be...
    (1.) an administrator
    (2.) to connect to the existing administrator account, or in possession of an administrator password.
    If you do not have all of the above, forget it.

    When the system asked you for permission, you should click on continue or enter the Admin password. If you could not do either, it means that you don't have administrative rights to do what you want.

  • Store does not recognize my administrator user account when you try to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows

    I bought an Inspiron 17 7737 directly from dell.com on 05/12/2013.  It was delivered 12/182013.  The operating system was Windows 8.  I had assumed that he would have the last version of Windows when it has happened since 8.1 was released in October. I opened the app Store and the Windows 8.1 upgrade was not available for me.  I realized it was one problem for others and that he has not pursued further at that time.  I was out of town for 2 weeks in January and has not used the laptop during this 2 week period.  When I got home, I opened the store and found placed prominently on the invitation to the free update to 8.1. I signed up using the administrator account and when I hit the download button for 8.1. I received the message "You must use an account with administrator privileges to install Windows 8.1, try connecting with the user of an administrator on this PC account and try the update again".  I checked my account has administrator privileges and tried again and got the same message. I created another user account and gives privileges to administrator and try the download again signed on this account and received the same message.  I called technical support and for more than 5 hours on 2 different days, the technician tried to solve the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the Windows updates. When that has not resolved the problem, it "refreshed" my PC which I understood to be given to the State at the time of delivery. He had to do all the Windows (about 65) updates and tried to re-download 8.1.  This does not change the error message when you try to download at 8.1.  At that time, I was told that they were raising a technical team that search every newspaper in my machine and find a solution.  They said they'd call me at the time where there is a solution. Although my administrator account has not been recognized during an attempt to make the download 8.1, it acknowledged the role of the administrator when the technician needed administrative approval to all uninstall and reinstall activities in trying to solve the problem.

    Everyone knows about this problem?  It is resolved, and if so, how is it resolved?

    You are not alone. Many have had the same problem with no resolution. I think there's something funny to do with user accounts. Making a second account with admin privleges does not work. I would try to reinstall the operating system of hidden image and try again. A refresh like tried Dell will not do because it retains much of the data before the update; you need a clean start. Do nothing witht the account Admin other than to let Windows put up and set your password. All updates must be installed before the upgrade is displayed in the store. I have improved five facilities to win 8 and have had zero problems.

  • I can't add a second e-mail account. I get a message next to the 'User name' or password invalid password field. I can connect to the web gmail ok, imap is enabled.

    I setup a gmail account to and works very well. When I try to add another gmail account, I get an error 'User name' or invalid password. I can connect to this second gmail via the web to gmail account and the account active imap.

    PS - I use these accounts for the years through the web

    Thank you

    I also tried to delete completely the TB and reinstalled to try the problem gmail account and it still doesn't work.

    When checking on the 2-factor authentication, which I use, I noticed something. The work gmail account has allowed access to less secure applications"and my problem of account does not. I activated that and managed to add it to the TB. Everything works now!

    Not sure if less secure applications is a good thing, but its working.
