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!

  • Firefox forces me to use an administrator account to download on windows, I have two user accounts two called admin?

    I tried to download firefox on a pc with windows vista, fiefox configure wants me to go to an administrator account. There are two users on the windows machine means, both as directors, but at the same time discourage making a staff. Firefox invites me to an administrator and a password, I tried to add a password for my user account, but it has not been accepted, if I try the alternative to use "current user" it is unresponsive and disappears from the download area. This is getting ridiculous. Help, please.

    I'm assuming that you download the installer of Firefox http://www.getfirefox.com/ with Internet Explorer. Something to try:

    You must choose the registration option (do not use the run option). Once the download is complete, open the download folder for your Windows account, then right-click on the Firefox setup.exe inside the file and choose run as administrator.

  • Error when you try to add a basic Windows Vista Home Edition user account password.

    I would like to add a password to secure my PC a little more by doing the following:
    AutoScan (Vista Orb) > Control Panel > user accounts > create a password for your account
    I enter a password to 10 characters. I tried more or less characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers etc, but everything I try I get the following message:

    "The password you entered does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

    I am running Vista Home Basic.

    I checked the Windows updates are all to date.

    I tried to create a new user account and create a password for the new account (both of my main user account and the new user account) and I get the same message.

    I also activated the 'Administrator' account (cmd > net user administrator / Active: Yes) and tried to use the administrator account to create a password and it does not work either!

    I ran Microsoft Security Essentials software, choose scan "Full". The software found no viruses or malware on my computer, but he did put in quarantine RealVNC (software remote access we use occasionally to work).

    I have created a screenshots of system information (to show which operating system I use), the dialogue 'create password for your account' (to show that I am logged on as administrator and to make sure that I do not have the process wrong--always possible!) and the error message "user account control panel.

  • Windows has installed a user account IMPORTUNATE on my computer

    Windows downloaded the updates and install them. When I rebooted the computer off for a day or if a NEW user account, with a photo, appeared on the monitor which made me choose which account to click on in order to open the computer. The name of the new user account is: mscKaamar. I don't have not set up a user account since I was the only person who uses this computer. Something installed this account on my computer without my permission. There are 2 icons on the log on screen down to the left and right corners. The lower left, when I place the mouse on it, she opens a box that gives me several options to choose from that will do different things and the only one I remember is the first that audibly reads the choice for me to choose. The first is, of course, for the system I READ what is on the screen. I chose any of them and closed the window. I don't know what that the lower right button since I didn't click on it. Also, I found when performing a search for her and deleted / removed from each place I found. BUT he keeps his return and resettlement itself, even if I removed by "Withdrawal" of the account with the Control Panel, as well as removing the Program Files, etc etc. It cannot be "uninstalled" from the Control Panel programs because it is not installed as would your typical program.

    Anyone know what this thing is, how it got on my computer and most importantly, HOW to GET THE DARN permanently THING OFF! All help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Jim

    Hi Jim,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I do not understand that you cannot remove the user account that is not created by you and I'll be happy to answer your query. According to the description of the problem, it seems that your computer can be affected by malware. Let me ask you a few questions;

    • You have the installation media for Windows 7?
    • What security software is installed on the computer?
    • You are connected to the computer with administrator rights?
    • You receive an error message when you try to delete?

    There could be several other reasons according to the questionnaire. We can try the following methods and check.

    Method 1: Start the computer Safe Mode and check if you are able to remove the unknown user.

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

    Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode

    Method 2: Remove unknown user account in safe mode

    Note: Make sure that you have all the data available in the libraries of unknown user account

    a. press the Windows key + R, and type control userpasswords2 click OK

    b. Select the unknown user account, and then click the delete tab

    c. click OK and restart the computer

    Same steps can be used in Normal mode.

    Method 3: Perform a full scan of malware from your PC

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Microsoft safety scanner

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 4: Run the System File Checker tool

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Create an extremely limited in Windows XP Home Edition user account

    I'm editing a user account on my virtual machine running Windows XP Edition family, such that a user can only view their Documents and Settings folder and NOT the windows, Program Files, and all other important files to the computer. When I tried to just go right click > properties > check hidden (on the Windows folder), I found myself not being able to reconnect to all accounts and having to do a re - install. How can I change the XP Home Edition settings to prevent the display of records outside the Documents and Settings?

    The overall goal of what I'm trying to accomplish here is to emulate a school or workplace environment where the user is very limited with what they can do (even more limited than the guest account).

    Any help with this, including 3rd useful third-party tools, or how to do it without third-party tools would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if that's what you want to achieve.

    Encrypt files.

    a. Select the folder you want to encrypt.
    b. right-click on the folder, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the sharing tab.
    d. check the box make this confidential folder
    e. click on apply and then OK.

    Make sure this private folder is grayed out

    To make this option work on Microsoft Windows XP home, you must meet the requirements.

    1. the hard drive must be formatted in NTFS and not the FAT32 file system.
    2. the folder you are trying to encrypt must be in your personal folder. For example, if your name is bob, you be encrypt a folder which is or which is contained in the sub folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\

    You can't encrypt all files outside of this folder. If you want to encrypt outside of this folder, see the bottom of the other security solutions.
