Windows 10: lack of access to Admin

RE: Windows 10 I need to uninstall a printer that has suddenly quit working and as suddenly, I get an error 'I get 'protected by system administrator' when I attempt to uninstall this printer so I can re-install so I can correct the printer problem. When I search for administrator only 1 account appears that of my daughter who it does not show as Admin., it just shows 'password protected; At this point, I can only assume that this hidden admin was created during an update. I understand that there is a Windows admin? how do I fix this problem?

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

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.
