His account is password protected, and he refuses to let me have it.

I opened an existing document I had saved in Word and when I tried to make revisions, the message came up that the document was "locked". When I went to "help" to see how to unlock it, it says to go to the Protect Document pane and click on "Stop Protection". However, when I go to this pane, there is no option to "Stop Protection" - help! -- montereynative

I am trying to make changes to parental controls. I get an error message that reads: "Unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator." I am an administrator on the computer. I have tried creating a new account and making changes there and that did not work.

I recently decided to password protect my computer so that upon startup I have to type in a password. But now when I start up the computer I get a "the user name or password is incorrect" error message (at this point I haven't done anything except push the power button to turn the computer on). So, I press the "OK" button, and a user named Amy (with a different picture then mine) appears and a...

I have Vista Home Premium. I turned off User Account Control on a standard account by removing the check mark in the box "User Account Control." I now wish to turn it back on. However, when you put the check mark back in the UAC box and exit the screen and then go back the check mark is no longer in the User Account Control box. How do I reactivate the UAC for this standard user?

My daughter has a Windows Vista Home Premium laptop. She recently changed her password and promptly forgot what it was. Now all she can do is login as the Guest account but is unable to perform many routine functions that she had on the original administrator account. I know that there is another local administrator account but can not access it and now she can't even get into windows to...

My wife and I have been unable to Login & repeatedly get the above message. I have looked on all the relevant threads noting the above and can't find a solution because each solution requires 1) accessing "Start", 2) accessing msconfig, 3) setting up a second administrator. I can't fathom how to do any of the above solutions if I can't even logon to go to them. Please help me get out of...

My HP G60-230US with Vista OS froze. Was able to log off and reboot. The system reset Documents folder access, Windows Mail, and Outlook 2003 so that it requires creating entirely new profiles for each, I guess. Using Windows Explorer, I can find that the Documents files, Windows Mail emails, and Outlook 2000 files are still there -- it's just that I can't access them the normal way. How...

I have two accounts, one I named Administrator and one with my personal name. I checked in regedit where userprofiles are listed and there are files ending in 02 and 03 and they list paths to those two accounts. The missing 01 is probably due to the problems I had getting rid of test-testpc that appeared on my computer when returned from repair by the manufacturer. I know I could change the name...
