No Access For Administrator

Jan 23, 2011

I am the only administrator for my computer. What happen was I loan my computer to my 10 year old cousin and now I can't open any files or programs that require administrator permission. Whenever I try to open a file/program that's only for an administrator, I get this message "Windows cannot access the specified device path of file. You may not have the appropiate permission to access the item" Also, I also cannot access to the internet even though I'm connected to the internet. Whenever I try to connect to the internet, I get a message that says unexpected error.

Don't Have Administrator Access?

Sep 20, 2011

I am using a laptop with following sepc:ThinkPad lenovo laptop, T410iWindows 7 Professional 64bitThis laptop is companie's one and I am using at home.I don't have administrator access and neither I have the password for administrator.Company has defined a user account for me and I only can log on with it. I think these steps are for security reasons not to crash the laptop.Now that I want to defrag the computer, it asks me to login as administrator account.Or I want to install a new program and I can't. This is very annoying.Is there any way to install only in my own user account?When I explained the matter to IT officer in the company, she told that I should take the laptop to the company and they will take care of the issue.

Unable To Access Administrator

Oct 21, 2012

My 15 year old son was trying to bypass Cyberpatrol and in the process of tring to change his account from an adminstrator to a standard user I've made things worse. I changed the administrator account in his name to a standard user account but there was no other administrator account on the PC other then something called CYBERPATROL_SERVICE which is an administrative account istalled automatically by Cyberpatrol. This was the first mistake. Then he guessed the password to Cyberpatrol and attemped to uninstall it...it only 'half' uninstalled it, leaving a real mess of error messages and no access to let me change anything. I can now neither reinstall cyberpatrol or unistall it, nor can I see a way to log back in as an administrator to effect any changes to put things right. Three emails to cyberpatrol have elicited no response so I'm coming to the conclusion the onlu way out is to reinstall Windows 7 and find a different web filtering program- is there any way to log back in a an administrator? I didnt delete the admin account, only changed it to a standard type. Then If I can get back in as a administrator how can I get rid of the unwanted Cyberpatrol?

Denied Administrator Access?

Sep 1, 2012

I seem to be having a problems with my computer's Administrator perks. My account is an administrator, and recently, I have been unable to do anything that requires that I be an administrator. Whenever I run an application that is set to Run as Administrator, an error box opens that says "The specified module could not be found" I can not access User Account Controls, the window just does not open, no error message. I can use applications that would normally display the error message in Safe Mode, but I still can't access things like User Account Controls.

Restrictions To Administrator Access

Mar 29, 2010

I am the only user on my notebook and, thus, have Administrator status. I am using Windows 7 home premium OS.I had installed a program which did not have a comprehensive help guide but had a website with a very good guide. So, as I have done many times with WinXP, I tried to copy a shortcut to the web page into the program's folder on the startup menu. I was rewarded with an access denied error. I also find that, without very indirect methods, I cannot access the all users startup menu folders.

Unable To Access Administrator Account?

Jan 9, 2011

In Win 7 Home Premium, I apparently did something wrong as I can no longer access the administrator account on my desktop. I am logged in as a guest and have tried just about everything suggested here. I have started in Safe Mode but can't access admin. I have used the installation disk to do a repair and used the activate command in the command prompt. I used the "enableadmin" mentioned on this site. Regardless of what I do here, when I restart I am back in Windows as a Guest. Even doing a system restore made no difference.

It would appear I have to do a clean install but before doing so thought I would ask to see if there is anything else

Access Denied On Administrator Account?

Nov 26, 2011

Many times I have seen the "Access Denied" error while using an administrator account.Especially in disk management utility when I tried to edit disk partitions but couldn't even with administrator privileges.This is not a specific case - I just want to know how, even with administrator privileges, there are still restrictions (access, modify or change)And what can I do to bypass those restrictions?

Cannot Access Accounts Other Then The Built-in Administrator

Aug 26, 2012

I've enabled the built-in Administrator account. However, I can no longer access my other account (which is also an Admin account). I even tried creating another account, which also cannot be accessed.Basically: upon login, I get the login screen, however there's only one account, which is the Administrator account. There is a 'switch user' button, which just shows the 'Other Users', which doesn't do anything: entering any account details only says 'invalid username or password'.The first account was created BEFORE I enabled the admin account; the user folder is still there. However, the new account I created has no user folder.

Denied Access, Even Though Im Administrator, UAC NOT ENABLED?

Nov 18, 2012

Backstory: I think some of you experienced this problem, Square ads are popping up in my firefox's bottom corners, after some searching, people say this is done with the "hosts" fileI tried to use Hijackthis to get a better idea of whats going on with my computer, and when i run it, it confirmed my suspicion, my system denied me access to the Hosts file and its the same even when i run it as administrator, I checked UAC but its already at the lowest levelAlso i noticed there are strange "CREATOR OWNER" and "Trusted installer" groups when i try to change the ownership and permission, however no matter how i try it just keep saying "Access is denied" and i cant change anything

Listed As Administrator, Have Guest Access?

Aug 30, 2012

This one has me scratching my head. Over the weekend I had a power failure that affected my system. It was up and running at the time, transferring files to an external HD. I was away when it happened (had gone out for dinner - power went out there, too), when I got home, I rebooted the system, it went through it's systems check, and appeared to start normally, with no major problems, aside from some corrupt files on the external drive.Monday evening (Aug. 27) I went to update my flash player for steam, and during the installation, I got an error notifying me I don't have permission. Ran as an admin and got the same error.

The only thing I can figure is something in the registry got tweaked when the power went outThis is the only account on the system. I created a secondary admin account to try and straighten this out, but had no luck. (perhaps I missed something?)Anyone know a workaround or method to restore myself back to Administrator? I'd prefer not to have switch over to a new account, but if necessary, i guess it's necessary.

Program Access Denied Even Though Running As Administrator

Oct 29, 2012

On my W7 machine (Dell X1) everything is working fine. I want to upgrade the BIOS so I downloaded the exe to do so. When I attempt to run it I get "Program Access Denied" no matter whether I run it normally or as administrator. Since my account is an administrator account it shouldn't matter. I've tried using the cmd window, but that doesn't do it either - always the same message. I've checked that the permissions on the file should allow it.

UAC Settings - Access Denied On Administrator Account?

Aug 4, 2011

So I am using Windows 7 and I made an account for my nephew so he can use without nagging me about entering in a password. But I wanted to make it so that he cannot download anything or edit any files on the C: Drive without a admin password. I changed the security settings on C: so that it will not allow anyone who is not Admin to access any files in the C: folder. My problem is that it locked everyone out of C: ... Any UAC settings or account settings cant be done.

My account is an admin and anytime it try to access anything or run anything as administrator, It says Access Denied. (BTW I never get a prompt to put in an admin password). So I went on safe mode and made it so that the Built in admin would show and I logged on it. I opened an elevated cmd and tried to change the uac settings.. but all I get is an Access Denied! I don't know what to do and I do not want to have to reset the whole computer. I cannot use system restore because it says access denied.

Administrator Getting Access Denied Along With CHkdsk Errors At Startup

Apr 13, 2011

I have not seen the problem but according to phone conversations when she turns the PC on she gets a black screen with a message that the file system is being checked, but the checking stops with an "unknown error", the black screen flashes and then she gets to her normal log-in screen. This has been going on for a few weeks (ARRRGGHH). The only reason she called me was that she lost internet connectivity this morning.I had her login, open a command prompt, and type in CHKDSK /f but the system returns an ACCESS denied and says she need elevated credentials to run this. As I said she is the only user and she is listed as an administrator under account controls. I had her create a new user account with administrator privileges but NO JOY she still cannot run CHKDSK /f.This is sounding a bit like a virus but I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on why, or how, administrator privileges are being overridden?

He needs his computer for homework and writing assignments or I would just take it away.
