I remove computer administrator


Recommended Posts

Posted

I went to user accounts. and remove my self as my computer administrator by

error, and i can't use any more the previlege

as used to be. i can't even use the restore utility.

I set as adminitrator the other user, the one that is set up as for

..net passport or so I am not sure what it was but then I set my self as a

limited. when click ok I coudn't get back to find the computer administrator

in the user account.

How i can resolve back the way it was?

I tried with safe mode and it doesn't appear the part of the reset users

options. Though I'm still remaining as no administrator.

I have the original windows CD ROM

Microsoft Windows XP Professional

version 2002 Service Pack 2

Should I have to reinstall the system again?

RE: I remove computer administrator

 

the built-in admin-account cant be deleted

go to login screen and ctrl+alt+del twice

enter administrator in the textbox with a empty password

or log in safe mode (you can only use safe mode with administrator

account)So if you were logged in safe mode you have the administrator account

just create yourself another account with admin priveledges

excuse my spelling

hope this helps

At the Welcome screen in Safe Mode or regular mode press control+alt+delete

(twice) to get the login dialog for Administrator. If it wants a password

you don't have, get a password reset utility from the web. There are a

number based on bootable Linux disks. Clear the password for the

Administrator account and log in, then promote your account.

Re: I remove computer administrator

 

Thanks Thee Chicago Wolf,Eddy,and Patrick Keenan

the one with the tip of restart and type administrator login worked so I can

reset users options and I revert it to me to be the computer administrator.

this worked!

One of the first instance of the error was when I wanted to remove the other

user,

ASP.NET Machine A.. ,

that probably was installed with the last Framework update from Microsoft

that I don't know if is important to have it as a user and how was setup, by

default ?

The intantion was because I don't want to have the welcome sreen if you or

someone can tell me how to set it up.

In the users accounts I unchecked the Use the Welcome screen but when I

restart the computer,

appears again the welcome screen.

Maybe because the two users?

Should I remove the ASP.NET Machine A...user?

 

I WANT TO THANK TO ALL THAT PEOPLE

THAT WORK IT OUT TO HELP. thanks again

Yes, that ASP.NET account is from the .NET Framework, and should not be

deleted if you intend to use the framework.

 

Instead, just download Tweak UI, and set it to not show the ASP.NET account

on the welcome screen.

 

Then, add a password to your user account, and in TweakUI go into Login and

choose Autologon. You're done!

 

The password on your account is needed because by default, for security

reasons, the Windows Task Scheduler will not run on an account with a blank

password. So, things like scheduled anti-virus scans and backups will

often not run.

Re: I remove computer administrator

 

You can try to set disable welcome screen from the built in administrator

account.

Who knows it might work.Or just start another post "Unable to disable

welcome screen"You will get plenty of replies

Glad you fixed your initial problem.

Re: I remove computer administrator

 

Patrick Keenan, Thank you for the advice for not to remove the ASP.NET and to

use theTweak UI insted. I eventually will try with theTwek UI. If I do so, I

will post

the result. I have in my mind how nice people you are helping. THANKS TO

ALL OF YOU.
