    Login Screen says I'm the Administrator, but don't have administrator rights

    New "C" hard drive, restored from "Recovery" drive.

    wanted to replace my "User" folder with a back up "User" folder.

    says I don't have permission to do this. How come, I"m the administrator

    :)

  2. When attempt to access the WindowsApps folder with either administrator account, the system says I need administrator rights and denies access

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to enable built in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile and check if the issue persist.


    • Open a CMD window by right clicking on the Start icon, and selecting
      Command prompt (Admin).

    • Type the following command: net user administrator /active: yes

    • Login into the built in administrator user profile and create a new user profile with administrator privileges.

    • Delete the corrupted user account from the built in administrator.

    • Then lock your screen by pressing Windows key + L, and sign-in as the Administrator account.
    Check if the issue persist and you can disable built in administrator account by typing the command: net user administrator /active: no
    in the Command prompt (Admin).

    To create a new user account follow the steps below:


    • On the Search bar type cmd and
      press ctrl + shift + Enter
      on the keyboard to open the Elevated
      Command Prompt.

    • Type net user NewAccount password /add and click Enter.

    • Type net localgroup Administrators NewAccount /add and click Enter.

    • Log off from the system and login to the new user account.


    Hope this helps!

    Boot into Windows as administrator

    You set up the admin password when installing XP, but most the time people believe it is for their individual account and not the Administrator one. As for Vista, like stated before, the initial account created is an administrator account, and if necessary, you may need to right click certain programs to "Run as Administrator"

    You may be better off looking at the job descriptions for some of the businesses you wish to do the job for; as, some companies have varying duties and requirements.
