Huge administration problem.
Huge administration problem.
I'm unable to put myself back as an administrator on my user... My user is a basic user and does not have any privilages really. I've tried to enable the built in administrator user but to no avail as my account does not have enough privilages I've tried safe mode to see if it appears but to no avail as it doesnt show up at all I dont see any way at all of getting around this. I am unable to install/uninstall many programs and I'm even unable to delete folders on the hard disk. Anybody know any way of fixing this. I was thinking that there may be something hidden in regedit but I dont think it would let me edit it anyway as I may not have high enough privilages. Thanks to all who reply in any way in advance -- Dell Inspiron 1300 Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate RC2 32-bit Intel Celeron M Processor Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family 1.60Ghz 512MB RAM

Huge administration problem.
The account you made during setup should be a Protected admin if you use
that account and then elevate a command prompt by doing a search for CMD and right clicking and running as an administrator you should be able to get in that way. -- Josh http://windowsconnected.com Now with NNTP goodness!

Nope. It seems I have no protected admin. I have only one user. I created it
a few upgrades ago (In Beta 2). Also, I cant even get past C:\Users\James Allison in CMD. Haha! Great...

Hello James,
Try logging on as Administrator while in Safe Mode. Default password is blank. The administrator account is disabled by default howver if no other local accounts are added to the Local Administrator's group, you are allowed to log on with the "administrator" account while in safe mode if you are in a workgroup. If other local accounts are in the administartor's group, then the local "administrator" aco**** remains disabled in Safe Mode unless you specifically have enabled it.

I'm unable to do any of this is all of the privilages I need to do these
aren't available and in safemode, the user isn't available for some reason. I have tried.

Hello James,
What do you mean the user isn't available in Safe Mode? Are you entering the correct syntax to logon on with the administrator account? Are you typing in the administrator name?

I type the correct syntax and it displays a message saying "Your account has been disabled. Please see your local administrator".

Huge administration problem.
I am confused...did you somehow delete or disable the default administrator
account? Instead of a user name, you type the word "administrator" and leave the password area blank. Unless you somehow totally disabled the default administrator account, no matter what you did several system upgrades ago, Vista should have still created a default administrator account.

I am unable to install/uninstall many programs and I'm even unable to delete folders on the hard disk. Anybody know any way of fixing this. I was thinking that there may be something hidden in regedit but I dont think it would let me edit it anyway as I may not have high enough privilages.

Huge administration problem.
OK. I went to a repairs shop and they said exactly what I've been saying.
Basically, we've agreed that the problem is unfixable. I've decided I'm going to go back to RC1 (as RC2 is unavailable for download) and I'm going to make a clean install to avoid the problems again.

Huge administration problem.
Years ago when I first trained on NT, I was taught that the very First thing
you do after loading a new system is, first create a second administrator account, and second create one or more user accounts. In vista you need to add one more step, enable and assign a password to the built in administrator account. These steps will prevent your type of problem as well as others that can and do acure. I know this does not help your current problem however it can save you from ever going through it again. "James Allison" wrote in message ... OK.
