To be validated across the network or Internet, I need to have a passworded login and don't want to use their login names (many without passwords!) but only one of my choice or preferably the 'hidden' Administrator account (best for full access).Is it possible to have access to Administrator (I know how to enable it) and not spread confusion by having it plastered on the login screen?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the folder properties of a applications folder from read only. I am doing this per instructions from the apps provider to prevent crashes.
When I go to change the permissions it states I need admin privileges. The only account I have on the box is the admin however I did change the name to something besides admin. The account is definitely an admin account.
Not sure if it was a virus, spyware, or hacker, but something wiped out all of the passwords in windows 7 professional. I am signed in with a standard user account with no password. I've attempted to use different software such as <software name removed>, and password pro to retrieve passwords, but neither of them can find the SAM or any accounts with passwords. This system is on a peer to peer network and is being used as the server. Is there anything I can do to get admin rights back and get logged in as the administrator?

View 8 Replies View RelatedThe problem is that I had setup a domain on my laptop and then changed to home computer on windows 7 machine. It gave me a message that changes will come to effect after restart the machine, which I did. When it restarted it is asking me for admin password, which I don't remember and docent allow me to change the userid so that I can log back ( it shows admin I'd on the screen which I can't change).
Now I can't log back and have lot of important stuff on my laptop , don't want to reinstall and don't have a reset cd also

I also have a guest account which i can access without any password. Is there any way to solve this problem from the guest account, without having to reinstall the whole windows? By the way, I don't have admin privileges on the guest account and I'm running Windows 7 x32 if someone wonders.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a minor technical question I would love help on. I have the UAC on and log in as a standard user for protection. There are a few programs that I would like to run automatically when windows starts that require a password EVERY time I start windows, or if I select them manually. Is there any reason certain programs due to their permissions need an admin password to run and other don't?
I could not find the difference looking in the security section of properties comparing it with a program that runs as an admin. HELP! I would like to run these programs automatically as windows boots without typing in the admin password for each program.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that even though I have only one user account defined on my machine and it is set to "Administrator" it is not being allowed to do admin types of things like deleting folders. I tried to create a user group but that's not an option on the Win7 Home Premium version that I use. How can it be that the sole account is not the admin even though it shows that it is in the account user setup?

How can I restore my computer or just change my password?
I have Windows 7 32-bit(official RTM, clean install) only 1 account on it which of course is Admin.Sometimes when I press the Windows button + l to lock the screen and come back after a few minutes, enter the password but Windows 7 reports it as wrong password all the time. I have had the same password for 3 years so I know for sure I entered it correctly all in lower case. Also, if I deliberately try to enter a wrong password when my normal one doesn't work, I get the white round circle indicating that its being processed. Then after like 3 minutes, Windows 7 reports it as being the wrong password (the correct behavior from Windows 7 would have been to reject the the wrong password immediately).So I have to do a manual shutdown as it's the option left. I have tried to reinstall Windows 7 many times but this problem just keeps happening randomly.
