Windows 10: How can I remotely fix "[Your Child} is set as an Administrator on [Computer Name] so...

This summer, I bought my children computers so that they could use them for school. Now I'm getting the alert quoted in the question above. When I follow the instructions, it seems to be that I have to be physically present with my child's computer to log in and set myself up as an administrator. Is there any way to implement this fix remotely? I am out of the country and do not want to wait until I am back home to fix this.

Remote desktop default set to administrator

Hi,

My name is Mohammed Shuaib, an Independent Advisor and I'm here to assist you with the issue of RDP default set to the Administrator account. Please follow the below to clear the RDP cache.

Step 1:

Copy the below to notepad & then save as .bat file

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client" /F

del /f /s /q /a %UserProfile%\Documents\Default.rdp

del /f /s /q /a %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\*.automaticDestinations-ms

Step 2:

Double click on the saved .bat file to execute and clear the RDP cache

Step 3: Delete saved credentials from the credential manager

Win + R to call Run

Run control keymgr.dll to open Credential Manager

Click Windows Credentials

Under the first list (Which is also called Windows Credentials) find:

TERMSRV\RemoteAddress Or RemoteAddress

Where RemoteAddress is the IP address or computer name of your remote Windows 7 machine.

Expand it, and select Remove

Let me know the status after performing the above.

Weird account name and lost Administrator rights.


Well, I know what I would do.

Under Settings, Accounts, Family & other users, then under Other users, add someone else to this PC. Then click the link for "the person I want to add doesn't have an email address". Then click the link for "Add a user without a Microsoft account". Then enter a temporary user name like TempAdmin. When the account appears in the Other Users list, click on it. Click change account type. Make the temporary account an Administrator.

Log in as the temporary administrator account, and copy all the files you want to keep from both the Andrius folders under Users to the temporary account's folder. Then delete whatever Andrius users are listed under settings, accounts. Go back to the Users folders and delete any remaining Andrius folders in there. Reboot the computer, log in as the temporary administrator and recreate an Andrius account using the exact same steps you made the temporary account - you can convert it to a Microsoft account if you want later.

Then do the rest of the steps to copy all your files back and delete the temporary administrator account.

 

Child account name changed to my name

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To have a clarity on the issue, please reply with the following details:

• When you say, “I made the selection to sign in to her Microsoft account using my Microsoft log in” do you mean that you used your Microsoft account to login to the PC?
  
  
• Where exactly the name has been changed for the child account? Are you seeing the name changed in Microsoft Family when you log in to
  https://account.microsoft.com?
  
• What happens when you try to change the name for the child account?
  
• Are you referring to the name displayed on the log in screen of the computer?.
  

If you are referring to change the Display name for the Microsoft account for your child, please refer the steps in the article
