    How to reset computer from first time start up without access to admin


    So, basically, my windows somehow doesn't have the eula, & I tried to get around it by making a new user & it automatically loading into that user. Didn't work, & I forgot to make that user admin so now I'm locked out of defaultuser0, which means I can't change the default user windows loads into which means I'm stuck on this not admin account, without an emergency recovery button as well. Is my windows screwed or can I miraculously do another factory reset & get back to step 1?

    P.S, I tried deleting the account I'm on but the files were in use (which I guess makes sense)

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
