Windows 8 - password administrator

I'm at the end of my attachment to this problem and starting to hate Windows 8 with every fibre of body.

My daughter is running windows 8.1, but it can do little with the computer as whenever she wants to make a change (removal/addition of programs), it requires an administrator password, however there is nowhere to type a password and the 'Yes' option is greyed out in all cases.  The same situation is when I try to do anything in the user accounts section.

She recalls setting up a account administrator, even if it tends not to click, click, click and hope for the best.

I searched on several forums, and while a lot of people seem to have this problem, I have not yet found a solution.

Any help would be appreciated

Are you sure that you logged in with the account named "Administrator" when you logged in Mode safe?

It seems that you have logged in with a different account name.  The built-in Administrator account has no password (this is why it is not available if you are not in safe mode).  It is possible to set a password on it, but few people ever do.

    IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2 8.5 sends error 401.2 when change password Administrator windows local, 500 errors

    This particular configuration is with Coldfusion 11. There is no errors in newspapers and the w3 service still works as are application pools. All websites and app pools run with transmission of authentication request.

    ColdFusion does not work with windows authentication and may be enforced as if reconfigured integrated instance to do this, if this isn't a matter of colfusion.

    Here is what I tried:

    1 I created a new user account with admin rights and disconnected and logged in as them and then make changes to the password on the server, and that didn't make a difference.
    2. I checked that all Web sites using the request pass through authentication.
    3. I checked that the application pool is also using the application-pass-through authentication.
    4. I looked to find errors in which case newspapers but don't see anything there either
    5. I also searched a failure in coldfusion logs and saw no more relevant here either, but I got colfusion running without IIS in any case.
    6. search of the roots of web for coded passwords hard and found nothing.

    If you have any ideas or any ideas let me know.

    Try this:

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/11/25/easily-login-to-Windows-XP-with-no-password-administrator-a...

    Basically, you press ctrl-alt-delete twice when you get the login screen. I hope that the administrator password has not really been defined, so you can just press ok or enter.

    This is what I found on two used PXI systems that I bought at auction.

    Because it's so simple, I highly recommend setting an admin password as soon as you can.

  • My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen will not change, we do not know the password or have we not the reset disk, how can connect to reset password

    My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen displays the dell logo and says that I need the master password or administrator, my son can't remember and we do not have the reset disk, is it possible to get and reset the password or enter the system

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

  • I got my windows vista ultimate administrator standard user account.

    I got my windows vista ultimate administrator standard user account. Now whenever I try to update or install "User Account Control" is constantly asking me to (type an administrator password, and then click OK). The problem is that I can't do this because OK is disabled (grayed out) and no place to type the admin password or the other. How to restore this administrator account or even to enable the local administrator account by default here?

    If you have another administrator user account on your computer then log in and change the account to standard user for the administrator account.   If not, then follow the steps from the link and check if that helps: how to use system restore to log on Windows 7 or Windows Vista when you lose access to an account http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940765/en-us
