    administrator access problem



    I am facing the problem.
    I recently upgraded to windows 10 from windows 7. in windows seven I had two accounts one was the main account which I used and it had complete admin access and the other was secondary and didn’t had admin access. When I upgraded I logged in to one of the account with my password which I used to use in my administrator account but there was a problem. I have lost my administration in the PC.
    I am asked to login with the admin username and password.
    Username is already mentioned there which is the account which did not had administration access in my PC in window 7 but here I am asked to enter the password and unfortunately I have forgot it’s password and now I am unable to login and get administrator access. I am not able to access many apps install anything and also not able to install windows online..when I try to open cmd in troubleshoot while Booting my PC it only shows and asks password for that account which has administrator access now and was secondary in windows 7 and I am not able to access anything which requires administrator access.

    Please help me can I get administrator access without loosing my data.

    Will be looking for your reply.please help

    With Regards
    Tavish Bhardwaj

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    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.
