    How do I log into an Adminstrator account with the Standard account as default


    This is completely my fault, hopefully someone knows a workaround.I ran the prompt netplwiz to change the default account's properties, to a standard account. The administrator account was on the list, I presumed that the admin profile would've been available on the login page.Currently, I'm stuck with the standard account and can't see anyway of claiming admin, as actions doing so is limited by the account. Does anyone know a method that circumvents this, the administrator profile doesn't have a password or any credentials assigned to it.Thanks.

    :)

    email account hacked. please help

    Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

    Gmail
    Outlook

    The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

    I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

    How do I log into an Adminstrator account with the Standard account as default

    Account problem

    Aslam,

    Yes, the procedure is complex but I split it into individual steps that, I believe, can be followed by anybody.

    Booting into Safe mode is explained in section 3. All steps are included. If there is a step you cannot do then please tell me the para number and which aspect of it is confusing you.

    Getting into the built-in Administrator account is explained in section 4. All steps are included. If there is a step you cannot do then please tell me the para number and which aspect of it is confusing you.

    Any local account and any MSAccount can be made a "Standard" account or an Admin account. You need to be logged in to an Admin account in order to raise a Standard account to Admin status.
    - Once you are logged in to one of the Admin accounts that I suggest that you create, you can go to Settings, Accounts, Family & other users so that you can select the account you want to raise then click on the Change account type button that appears.
    - Be wary of promoting then relying upon the current problem account because its user profile might be damaged. I cannot say that it is definitely damaged but only that something has gone wrong.
