Locked Out Of Everything Administrator Including REGEDIT
Sep 17, 2007
Im running windows xp, and Im locked out of everything that is considered 'administrator' and i cant access my calendar, control panel, internet options etc etc. I am the administrator, and i cant access these applications in any of the user accounts, OR make new user accounts. Its clear that some kind of spyware or malware, or SOMETHING that i dont want on my computer is doing this to me and ive had a problem similar to his in the past and a little program i think i downloaded off this site helped me out, but i cant seem to find it again.

I have computers with two logins, one as myself as administrator and one for my students as limited users. These were previously County computers with the County as administrator. One of these machines has locked me out as administrator. I can't install uninstall programs. How can I remove this identity? I am already setup as administrator but am locked out on this one machine only.This computer has Windows NT as its OS.

i have a problem lol so i disabled all the accounts except for the administrator because i needed to log on as the admin...so on startup the admin is the only user account available. BUT...i was led to believe that the password was blank so it would log in automatically but it is password protected, but i never set a password for it so im confused as to how to enable my other user accounts. Is there a way to do it in safe mode from the cmd prompt or do i have to just reinstall another windows OS to get it back up and running.

I have a laptop that runs Windows XP. Recently I opened it and an error message that says that the computer is locked and only the administrator can log on appeared. But, I'm the administrator of the computer! It is not apart of any network so no one else was using it.The keyboard is also locked so I can't type anything.

About a month ago, something strange began happening on my computer. After the desktop icons and the system tray icons have loaded (they havent been updated or changed for a long time), it's seems like some other process is being loaded or run which I cannot see. When this is happening, I cannot open any programs including IE for several - maybe up to 30 or even 60 - seconds while my computer does "something".
For the first couple of weeks, I could open IE after systray progs loaded, but as soon as opening IE something invisible would steal the focus of the IE window. This behavior then turned into it's current state a couple of weeks ago, which is that I can't open anything at all for quite some time after systray loads. If I try clicking on any programs to open them, then after my computer comes back from whatever it's doing, all the progs will open up for as many times as I clicked on them. I would like to clear this up for convienece sake but more importantly to make sure there's not something invasive going on with my computer.

I have a pc with Windows 2000 installded and has two partition C and D. Iwould like to backup the whole drive including both partitions and transfer it to a better pc I have, but the new pc of mine has XP installed on it. I already backedup the hard drive to the network file server using windows 2000 default backup wizard, but when I want to open the file on my XP machine, It curupts the system files and next time I restart it crashes. I need to findout a way to backup the hd exactly as is on 2000 and transfer it to Xp.

Everytime I boot I get an "Administrator has prohibited access to CD/DVD DRIVES and removable storage devices" All of my USB ports and my CD are greyed out with a red circle and bar symbol. I am running XP Pro with SP3. I am the only user of this computer and I did not restrict them. I have gone in with the secret administrator account and it is also locked.

Normally I reinstall windows when I run in to this problem, 9 times out of 10 caused by a virus. This time I decided to try and restore policies and get rid of the virus by hand... but I couldn't find a guide telling how to get these policies back! Has anyone created a guide or done this before? I figure if the rights can be taken away, they surely can be given back.

I was wondering if someone could direct me to some very good webpages where you can learn to use Regedit. I know it is an advanced system tool and that I can render the OS useless if I tamper with it, but I really want to learn how to use it properly.
