Hello,

I have lost all my administrator permission. I have two profiles but both profiles are standard. I have tried every option that were listed on existing forums. Every option leads me to a pop-up screen stating I have no permission. Are there any other recommendations?

:)

 

I Lost my Administrator Permission

I had windows 10 64bit (10240) on my Terransforce P375SM,and My Account is microsoft Account(Administrator).I Lost my administrator permission when I restart my computer. My account is turn to be Guest account......I must set user permission by control
panel everytime.

 

I Lost my Administrator Permission

To try to resolve my Windows 10 Start menu and unresponsive icons issue I followed several suggestions and created a Local User (non-Microsoft) account with Administrator status. I'm not sure if I actually got the chance to set a password or whether I've
forgotten it. Either way I can't make any changes to the computer without the Local User Administrator account asking for a password.

I referred the issue to Microsoft Help and their contacts referred me to Microsoft Tech Services (through a link). Although everyone has been friendly and polite, all of their suggestions ended up required the Administrator approval (and that password).
If Windows 10 had installed properly (after I'd zealously followed all the instructions) I wouldn't be in this predicament but then neither would I be if I'd remembered the password, if I had in fact set one).

HELP!!!

Hi needhelptoday and welcome to the forum. Give this a try.

You should be able to use this account to elevate of of your standard user account to admin provledges.

 

Hello SoFine409,
First of all, thank you for your assistance. I have tried every option and had no success. I have no access to command prompt (admin). I have no access to run the recovery software.

 

What happened to the administrator account there must have been one?

 

Not sure what happened to the administrator account. A technician added a local user account because my original wasn't working appropriately. I tried to add another local user for the interns but I couldn't. This is when I learned I have no administrator account.

 

what happens when you search for CMD in the search box and hit return?

 

Then you have to use Option Five in the tutorial: Enable or Disable Built-in Administrator in Command Prompt at Boot. That is, you boot to Advanced Startup from an install or a recovery usb, and if you don't have one, see the tip at the top of Option Five...

 

If you haven't already fixed this then this procedure will walk you through doing so - If the Admin prompt has a greyed out or missing Yes button but no password entry box, use the Built-In Admin account in Safe mode to create two new Admin accounts. I will use any questions / issues you raise in my imminent review of the article.
