    Blocked myself out of my Administrator device


    URGENTE HELP!I was diving through my Microsoft browser application and in the "Devices" section I accidentally pressed the "Block Device" button in my personal laptop which I was using to browse and in which there is only one user and that is the Admin user. The message displayed is the following:One of them is saying that:1st Screeshot: "An Administrator has blocked this device. Request an Administrator to log in to unlock this device"2nd Screenshot: It just requests the PIN, which I remember, and after typing the PIN, it takes you back to Screenshot 1.As said before, this laptop has only one

  2. administrator block

    Hello,

    I am trying to download some games from cd.

    I keep getting a box which states blocked by administrator. Contact administrator.

    I am listed as administrator, and can't figure out this issue resolution.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    My PCBackup suddenly blocked by Administrator (that's me)

    User Account Control is a very important component of Microsoft's overall security image. It helps prevent unauthorized changes on your computer which may affect its security. To resolve your issue, we suggest that you turn off the User Account Control and
    see if it would let you access the program again. To turn off User Account Control in Windows 10, follow the provided steps below:



    • Open your User Control Settings by clicking Start button, and then clicking
      Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click Change User Account Control settings.
    • To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click
      OK. If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password and provide confirmation. You will need to restart your computer for UAC to be turned off.
    Note: Turning off these feature would possibly allow you to open the blocked program but can affect the security of your device.

    Hope this the steps above works for you.
