    I'll put up a new Windows 7 PC for my parents.  I created an account admin for my part and for each standard user accounts.  I put Windows Update to "Allow all users to install updates on this computer".  However, whenever Windows detects there is a new update needs to be installed and I am connected to one of the standard user accounts, it prompts me for the admin password.  It leaves all of the standard user account install an update of Windows, although I explicitly told Windows Update to do this.  What Miss me?

  • How do I erase all user accounts when the admin password forgotten and lost the password reset disk?

    Me and my girlfriend bought someone's Office to his work and the admin has forgotten his password and the user to reactivate remind her and we have been able to remove his password and we can not get his password reset.

    Frankly - regardless of the many ways of hacking, it - format (I would even zero-write of disc/low level format her) and install the operating system and all applications that you PROPERLY.  You have no way of knowing what he remained there from the previous user and probably don't want to know/take the chance.

  • Windows 7 admin password request run a program.

    I have recently installed a program, and when a user account (with without administrator privileges) tries to run the program, windows 7 request the user to enter the Admin password.

    Is it possible for me to turn it off? After all what is the use if we have to enter a password for the admin to run all programs on a PC.

    A quick response will be more appreciated.

    See you soon.

  • Question connects to the Windows 7 admin password

    Same o, lost password admin. Stop, I withdraw that. Windows 7 has a problem with the admin passwords. The pirates are not. Why do we have to pay? We are not all day for pc users, we just want to be able to use it without worrying about what we missed along the way. Some of us do not know what you should know and we suffer for it. Microsoft should really deal with this question, but they moved him expect everyone to do the same. I have a brick 500.00 dollar with 6 GB of ram, bo - ho. Just put more money I don't have. We could think about what an i5 would be smarter with windows 7 in there. Life is hard and then you die. glensta

    Original title: password admin windows 7, or the death of a pc... ?

    My question is is it dead or is there a way to unlock your computer yet? My son is a computer technology and cannot find a way without going into the registry. To bad he lives 400 miles away, I would have known to have a backup plan. glensta

    It is a violation of the code of conduct in this forum to publish information on the cracking of passwords in Windows. Take the machine to a computer repair shop to show the property so that they can solve your problem. When the machine is once again of the device, you must create, test, and document an alternative admin count so that you never again fall into such a trap.

  • Windows 8 admin password problem

    I have a problem with the admin password. Here's what I did.

    PC has been implemented with the joe as an administrator user.

    Created the new jim as an administrator user. When I did that he asked only my email address that I have provided. This email is not linked to anywhere. It's just an email address.

    New user created.

    Modified original joe of normal user user.

    Then I tried to log in as an administrator and he asked for which I don't have the password. I can't change anything nor normal (as he has no right to administrator) or as an administrator as I have no password.

    Help?

    OK this resolved. I hope this helps others too. Once you are in the BIOS, select the tab startup options select Advanced. Enable launch MSC record restart output. Enter the BIOS/Boot and your options there are now devices all attached. Select DVD etc save exit restart with the CD in the drive. The CD must of course have your chosen on that password recovery software. Fact! Pain in * Windows 8!

  • Windows 7 admin password

    I just got a new machine win 7 installation that he don't ask me a password to admin, only a password for my username.  When I try and login as administrator and leave the password blank, it just keeps asking me a password. Tried my password user and still nothing. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Don't know if I can ad a user named 'administrator' and who would do the trick?  Thank you

    The 'administrator' user is disabled by default in Windows Vista and later versions.  You should not have any reason to enable/open a session as 'administrator' and can leave safely disabled and unused.  What you trying to do?

  • LaserJet Pro M274n MFP: Admin password forgotten for MFP M274n

    Hello

    I forgot the password of my printer (HP Color Laserjet M274n MFP Pro) network. can you please help me how can I recover the password or how I can reset this printer.

    Thank you.

    Alvin

    Hi @Alvin03,

    Welcome to the community of HP.

    I understand that you have forgotten the administrator password for your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M274n and want to reset it.  I'll be happy to help you.

    I'll message you private instructions you need to do. Note that reset will clear your wireless settings, then you may need to reconnect to your network when you have finished resetting. (It's like the printer out of box at that point).
     
    Let me know if it helps.
     
    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support. Have a great day!

  • How to change admin password in BIOS if the old password is forgotten in windows xp?

    Can you tell me how to change the admin password in the BIOS under Windows XP if I forgot the original?

    Thank you.

    If you have a desktop PC, you can disconnect the power cable, open the case and remove the battery (Silver thing small round-shaped piece). then try to restart the computer, you can disable it in the first black screen with white text, it will probably give an error of the BIOS in any case. Then disconnect the power supply again and replace the battery. You need to reset the BIOS, but it should work.

    If it's a laptop is more complicated and you probably need a technician, you will need a few contacts on the motherboard to short and it's not just a deal to open a plate of control over some.
