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.

  • Windows vista administrator account

    Hello

    I GOT "ERROR CODE 5 ACCESS DENIED."

    Help, please

    Hi pooja2nd,

    Thank you for taking the time to post.

    If you want to enable the built-in Administrator account, then you'll do the following:

    ·         Click the Start button on the desktop

    ·         In the search box, type cmd (do not hit enter)

    ·         Make a right click cmd.exe and select run as administrator

    ·         Type net user administrator / Active: Yes

     

    After seeing a message that the command completed successfully, log off and now on the login screen you should see the built in admin account. By default, there no configuration password, so if you want to use the built-in account, make sure that you set a password. To disable the built-in account, type the following:

    Type net user administrator / active: No.

    If I misunderstood your message, please let us know with a little more detail on what you want.

  • Windows 7 Administrator account cannot change password ("the password entered is incorrect")

    I have a user account on my computer. This is an administrator account. I can connect with my administrator password and I am in this account as I write this. When I try to change the password in the control panel-> user accounts-> change your Windows password I get my password for the existing administrator and then the new twice, but I get the error message "the password entered is incorrect. Please re-enter your current password. »

    • I entered the current password is the correct (otherwise I wouldn't be connected to the account).
    • I made repeated tests, so I can exclude typos
    • the caps lock is disabled

    How can I work around this problem to change my password? "Current password" means something other than the password I used to access my account?

    Is it possible to display the version of distorted of the password so that I can use it when you change the account password?

    There is no way to display an existing password.

    To dig a little deeper, I suggest you do this:

    1. Create an alternative admin account. You should have it anyway, even that you have a spare House key, because you'd be in diabolical trouble, if something went wrong with your one and only the admin account.
    2. Test the alternative account.
    3. Play with the password for your existing account. If you get locked, use the alternative account to reset the password.

  • Windows 7 administrative account overload, normal MIA. ?

    Although the administrative account and the only ONE on my computer, I have violated release a program an ISO file because of require it * approval for all *. To resolve this problem, I went in CMD and unlocked the * administrative secret account *, connected to my main account, and then on this one. I finished what I had to do, entered command-line, disabled the account unlocked and disconnected.
    When you try to log on my normal account it took a password, I have no recollection of setting, because it was my account 1 and only.
    So, I've logged in Administrator, went in CMD and changed the password, and then disconnected again.
    This brings me to my current problem, my normal account (named Brett) is more listed, and the only available account is administrator.

    Try this:

    1. Open a command prompt.
    2. Type this command:
      NET user
      (You see what account names)?
    3. Type this command:

    At the beginning of your message, you wrote "in spite of being the administrative account and the only ONE on my computer". It is also risky to have only one key of the House. Sooner or later you lock you up. An alternative admin account, fully tested, is an absolute necessity.

    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:

  • How to access the administrator account disabled on standard user account?

    I recently disbaled my account admin by this step

    Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users > admin account > properties > check an account is disabled

    Now, I want access to my admin account

    I tried to access it from the login screen by clicking CTRL + ALT + DELETE but his does not work and also tried to start a cmd as administrator of the standard user account, but his is not accessible. Now I can able to access standard user only, now please tell me how to access my admin account to standard user account that I created.

    What you were doing was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. Not a good idea. Here's how you can recover from this error:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you disabled the admin account.
    8. Instead of disable your own and only the account admin, you now need to create, test, and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
