• Cannot change the administrator account!

  Hello. I need to change my administrator account so I can make changes to my accounts on the internet, but my internet provider told me I'm just a standard user in Windows 8 and I need to change it to the administrator. When I try to change my profile from standard user to administrator, Windows 8 doesn't let me, even if I am logged in under my account from Microsoft. How can I change this? It is quite frustrating!

  Open the control panel (place the cursor on the bottom/left corner of the screen... and right click, select Control Panel from the menu

  In Control Panel, select user accounts.

  Select Manage another account.

  This will show all the user accounts on the computer. If there is an administrator account, it will show this designation.

  To log off and log on with an administrator account.

  Back to the account user/screen control.

  Select Manage another account , then select the Standard account you want to change.

  Select the option Change the account Type .

  Select the administrator option to change the account and click Change the account Type .

• You cannot change the administrator rights

  The biggest problem that I have without having administrative access is that I can't uninstall programs, updated ones I use or change my display settings.

  I never did nothing for my computer and am the administrator, this problem just happened on its own. I can not disable UAC because he is not authorized by the Security Center.

  I just want to be able to take control of my computer.

  I tried to make orders on the run screen, but he also tells me that I don't have administrative control to do that.

  I tried to run in safe mode, but it still does not allow me, because this shield bit stupid with four color blocked me to make changes.

  Please help, this user access thing really sucks.

• 8.1 window isn't downloading store as message is coming that you must enter the administrator account.

  8.1 window isn't downloading store as message is coming that you must enter the administrator account. I already use admin account. How to solve it?

  Original title: Update window 8

  You may not use the store from the built-in Administrator account (the one that is actually named 'administrator'), because this account is supposed to be a backup for emergencies only.

  If you create your own account with a different name (it may still be level administrator), you can use the store.

• 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.

• You cannot change the ID Icloud

  I was forced to change my Apple ID because I changed my e-mail server.  I never put my ICloud for my Ipad and phone in place on my old ID and now I can not figure out how to change my id Icloud on my Ipad/phone, so I can set it up?  Technical support Apple didn't tell me that I would have no problem with this when I changed my ID but now when I go to the tab in my Iphone Icloud and I paved lists my old Apple ID without any possibility of change anywhere.  There is an Edit tab but which simply allows you to change your name and add a picture if you want, but the old address is grayed out and I can't access it.

  OK, so did you just changed the identifier on your Apple account Apple existing to the new address or haven't set up an Apple account nine for your new ID?

• You cannot change the format of the cursor

  Original title: mouse cursor

  Cannot change the format of the cursor; message says no file found - for example, C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\arrow\_rl.cur

  _rl.cur is not a slider that comes with XP. Nor is the folder named arrow. You must have installed a 3rd slider party system and I guess you are trying to change that.
  Try to reinstall it.

• Changing the cursor for a helping hand in the text and you cannot change the sentence or paragraphs in boxes to listen audio mode

  In Acrobat Reader if you're going to see menu and scroll all the way to ' Read out Loud ' and activate it, you can listen to the texts.  And you can also take the blinking cursor and click on the sentence or paragraph and a box turns around the sentence or paragraph and reads within the selected text.  But in Acrobat DC the cursor flashing in the text box has changed to a f * k * g hand grabber and you stop to select whatever it is!  How can we change back the hand f * k * grabber g in a cursor blinking so I can choose the text I want to listen or to highlight or mark?  Can someone help me on this?

• You cannot change the account Type

  Hello:

  When displaying 'Select your new account type' I see the photo that I have assigned and to the right of the image, I see my log in name and under my name, I see "administrator."

  Standard user is the default bullet selected with the administrator being available option.  However, when I place the ball in the ball of the administrator below "change account Type" becomes gray.

  I won't be a standard user with standard user rights.  It comes to my computer at home and no one else is using the computer or lives with me.  So, my question is the following:

  What I do to activate the Administrator option?  And when I put the ball in the Administrator option I will then be able to "Change account Type".

  This computer and my laptop are both running the same operating system: Windows 7 Professional

  Your support and your help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Eric

  Hi again:

  I am not connected as a Standard user.  I am logged in as administrator.

  That's what I told you at the beginning: you ARE connected under an administrator account, so you can not change your account type "Administrator".

  If you are unable to perform certain tasks, then this is because of the restrictions of UAC (User Account Control). Click Start, click Help, and then search for help on UAC. You can disable it if you want, at your own risk.

  P.S. Please do not change your past jobs as this would result in a very confusing thread.
