Admin settings

The only recommendation we can give in this forum is to reinstall Windows 10.

Admin settings

The previous user of my computer set herself up as admin. She no longer works for the company and I am unable to access her account to switch settings. Is there anyway around this?

 

You have to be logged in as an administrator in order to change an account from standard user to administrator.

 

How do I check that?? (sorry - newbie over here!!)

 

Open a command prompt. Run:

net localgroup administrators

What accounts show up in the administrators group?

 

Do you mean you changed from online login with email to local user which can still be admin?

 

hi, i have the same problem, i ran net localgroup administrators and it came out administrators have complete access and unrestricted to computer/domain. but im signed in as user, i cannot access admin etc.

But i cannot install/uninstall or do anything as a admin, cannot even change settings. Can you help me pls,

 

We need to know which user accounts are in the administrators group:

Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063] (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\WINDOWS\system32>net localgroup administrators Alias name administrators Comment Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain Members ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrator John The command completed successfully.[/quote] I have two user accounts in my administrators group: Administrator and John
