• Windows XP administrator account disabled

  My XP Pro windows local administrator account is disabled and the password is changed every time that I reboot.

  Work around currently I am using is connecting to another admin account on the same machine and activate the real administrator account and reset the password each time.  It's summer happening since I installed the latest Automatic updates of Windows last week.
  Help, please.

  Well, this account is damaged in any way.

  What is the standard admin or a user account with the privilege of admin account?

  in all cases, the alternative I would use is to create a new account and give him Admin priviledge.

  Then reboot and let windows configure the new admin account.

  Then, right-click on the Start button and click Explore.

  This will take you to the section where the user accounts.

  Then explore the old / dysfunctional account and copy its contents into the new user account that you just created.

  I would not copy the files.

  Simply copy the files and shortcuts, and links from the old to the new.

  It can be tedious to do the above, but its 'probably the best way to back up your data.

  either way, current account, you use this time for this analysis should not be changed at this time.   That's why I suggest to create a new brand and rebuild using the data from the old account.

  the foregoing is a measure of security, just in case that the new admin account is damaged as the former.  If Yes, then you have to use again as a stable connection.

  Hi amcop4591,

  1. How is - that Mount you the drive on the computer?

  2 Di you use any third-party tool to mount the drive?

  I suggest that you remove the external drive using the disk management and check back later if you can change the permissions on the drive.

  If you change the permissions, make changes to the permissions on the drive and then mount the drive.

• Administrator account type changed from standard

  I have 2 on my pc to Setup user accounts - two of them have been "administrator."  They have now been changed to the standard.  That's happened?  Was it a Vista update that made that change?  I used the built-in Administrator account to log in and then tried to create a new administrator account or to change one of my other administrator accounts and it would not allow me to do.  What else can I do to have an administrator account.  If there is a Vista update that made the change - could you tell me what day it was.

  Thank you

  You said you tried the iin built administrator account - did you mean the account designated in this procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html.  If this is not the case, try to use this procedure to create a new administrator account and see if it works (or use it to modify your current standard accounts administrator accounts and then return the administrator accounts.

  I have not heard of this problem before and if it causes an update, others here would be announcement of similar problems and I never saw any of these positions. Still, it could be caused by an update, but it is unclear what update caused it it you can't help remembering when the problem started and tell us what updates have been installed around this time by number of KB.  If you honestly think that it is a problem of Windows Update, then you should transfer your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where experts in the updates wll be more that happy to help - but since you don't know when the problem started or what update or updates may be the cause It will be very difficult for them to provide recommendations (as it is here for us).

  Hare done you nothing recently requiring administrative rights so that we can determiine when accounts ceased to have administrator rights? Did you all any program?  You did changes in the control panel?  Did you install any new harware or drivers of devices?  NO MATTER WHAT?  You may not go back further than you think to do a restore point that could very well solve the problem if you remember when you did a single administrator can do.  System Restore does not affect your data at all.  You just need to re - install everything you have installed, including updates between now and the restore point.  If it'snly a week or two or even three there, which is probably not so much to do - you do not install several new programs are that often you (and Windows Update will be autormatically re - install the removed updates here so no effort on your part).

  Here is an article on the evolution of the types of user accounts (but you will need to log in as the built-in administrator for this to work since it can only be done by an administrator) and try the second and more advanced option and see if it works better than the normal method: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/122023-user-account-type.html.  While you are connected to the built-in Administrator account, try to do a few other features that require administrator rights to see if it actually has administrator rights itself as it should.  If you can not do all the administrative tasks with this account, then the problem is greater than it seems and we will have to refocuse on the problems of file system or hard drive corruption and we might need to do a re-install to repair/Upgrade from Vista to solve the problem.  Who can still be the case if you are unable to create admninstraror accounts or edit standard accounts to the same administrator accounts by using the built-in Administrator account

  We will try to test your system and hard drive for the corrupton files (and these procedures can sometimes resolve the corruption, but not always):

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are unable to do this, boot from the installation disc and select recovery and continue until you get to a screen of options, including the command line).  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a disc, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If you use the drive, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command line in the same directory, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  I hope this helps (and I am sorry if my first suggestion bother you so much - it is the most logical solution to this type of problem and works in many cases, not most of the cases - I wasn't aware of the circumstances that you revealed in your response, when I suggested it, but I think that it could still be a viable option if we can identify a reasonably recent time somehow). If this isn't the case, please post back the results of what you did and the results of the analysis that you have run and we can go from there.

  Good luck!

• Users cannot change password for 802.1 x and implementation of ISE

  Hi all

  We have implemented cisco ISE 1.1 for a week and we notice that Microsoft active directory the user cannot change password there when it expired.

  We store all user account in Microsoft active directory for authentication and ISE is mapped with Microsoft active directory. Normally, when your expired password Microsoft active directory ask you to change your password, but in our case cisco switch or 802. 1 x do not allow communication with active directory before giving access to the network. Is this a configuration error or cisco do not support this?

  Best regards.

• "The user profile service failed the log - on" problem of Windows XP administrator account

  OK, so my mom is unable to log on to his profile on Windows XP Home Edition. She has both the administrator account. When she tries to connect, you will see the above error message. My brother can log into his account without problem.

  My mother told me that she had initially gone on ITunes and downloaded 3 things that the program said she needed. When she went to reboot his computer according to the instructions, she received this error message and cannot connect.

  She then guest account and was able to remove the 3 programs, but nothing helped. If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. This is the Windows program that is already installed on the computer.

  I tried to search in the forums, but it's a little confusing. She got also never all warnings "temporary profile".

  Thank you!

  Looks like the user profile is damaged.  To allow for the recovery, you will need to log in with an administrator account.  If your MOM was the only administrator account, try starting mode safe mode (F8 at startup) and log in as user 'administrator '.  The default value is the empty password.  After that, follow the steps in the following article:

• try to change the mode of feeding for a user account, the instructions worked to change the administrator account, but changes do not appear on user accounts.

  On my HP 510 laptop, I want to change the power mode to one of the user accounts.  It cannot be changed of in the user account, so I followed these instructions: log in as administrator, do the selection desired in the list of available eating patterns (Control Panel, Power Options, eating patterns), click on apply, then log in as administrator.  I find that the selected power mode has been applied to the administrator account, but not to one of the user accounts. I tried to change in the user account, but still receive the "access denied" response

  I recently installed Microsoft Security Essentials. My reading of various internet stations indicate that some older antivirus programs may have hindered this process of power management. I was not able to discover how to inactivate Security Essentials, so did not try to change the mode of power without interference from her.

  Another indicated position of the potential interference of the BIOS settings. I don't know how to check if this may be the case. I have MS Windows XP Pro SP3 installed. I have automatic and current updates.

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

  Hello

  You can change the setting in see Group Policy for this document:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730920.aspx

  Or change temporarily the user to an admin account, make the changes and then return as a standard user.

  Thanks and regards.

• Get the Error Message: "user profile service service has no logon. Unable to load the user profile"after you remove the Windows Vista administrator account

  Original title: deleted Vista ultima. admin identity and admin authorization password for standard users will not work.

  I inadvertently deleted the admin. identity, I think in Vista Ultima. The photo shows still on the identities, but when I try to open the identity I get the following message, "user profile service service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. The admin. password does not work in any of the other identities now, so I can't do updates to most of my programs, such as windows. I can't open the control panel to add and change of identity.

  Hi JBRA47,

  You can consult the following Microsoft KB article and check if it helps to solve the problem:
