  1. Account says I am administrator, but when saving files says I am not


    Hello,


    I am attempting to record music and when I try to save the file, it says I do not have authorization and to contact the administrator.


    My account states that I am an administrator and I am the only user on this device.


    I ran cmd and typed net user administrator/ active:yes and cmd says that I am the administrator now, but the program is still coming up with the same prompt despite both my account and cmd stating that I am the administrator.


    Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    :)

    net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

    Hi Rebekah,

    It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

    • Right-click the Start button.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
      Enter
      . If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

    Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.

    Is it advisable/useful to have a second (full) Administrator account?


    Firstly, I should say that someone suggested this Forum to me and it's one of the most useful things that I have come across on the Internet!
    I read somewhere that one way to safeguard your system is to create a second Administrator account in addition to the one that is built-in in Windows, so that should there be a problem with the "original" Administrator account you would use the second one to restore the first one.
    If this is indeed advisable, what are the steps to do it? I presume that I should password-protect the second Administrator account.
    Would I have the second Administrator account always enabled and the original Administrator account always disabled?

  4. Account says I am administrator, but when saving files says I am not

    I am the only account on my computer, IT SAYS I AM NOT THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR HOW DO I CHANGE THAT

    I can't save any documents to my computer because it says I need to contact the system administrator although I am listed as the administrator and there are no other accounts on my computer.
