  1. Can't reset PC, download or have access to admin


    For the past month I have not been able to access download files or do anything involving admin. As soon as I press run as admin nothing happens and trying to run things like task manger won't respond either. Downloaded files won't run and apon trying to reset the PC in settings it just freezes the window and close while having no response. I have also tried resting the pc through recovery environment but it just comes up with "there was a problem resetting your pc".


    Please help

    :)

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

  4. Can't reset PC, download or have access to admin

    Windows 10 no admin access

    Hi,

    We'd like to learn more about the issue that you recently encountered. For us to provide the troubleshooting steps, please clarify the following:

    • When you mentioned that you have no admin access, does it mean that you can sign in to your own user profile but the privilege is limited?
    • Have you made any changes or installed updates before this issue occurred?
    • Did you encounter an error message/code when you tried to restore your PC?
    To also answer your inquiry about the Admin account, there is a hidden built-in Admin account that you use in case of emergency. We will provide the instructions on how to access the hidden Admin account once we determine the root cause of your concern.

    We look forward to your response.
