    My family inherited an uncle's worklaptop


    My family afew months ago inherited a laptop my uncle got through work, only problem is that therefore it has admin rights, and it won't let us bypass it, not even from a bootable hard drive. Any and all advice would be appreciated.

    Inherit permission from the parent folder in Windows Server 2012R2

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you want the child folder to inherit the permissions from the parent folder. You can try the following steps and check if that helps:

    1. Right click on the folder to which you want to provide permission.
    2. Click on Security tab.
    3. Click on Advanced.
    4. Click on Enable Inheritance and.
    5. Click on Apply and OK.

    If that doesn’t help, as you are using Windows Server 2012R2, I would suggest you to post your query in
    TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who
    are well equipped with the knowledge on Windows Server.

    Hope it helps.

    Family Safety issues

    Hi,

    Configuration settings may be the possible cause why you're experiencing issues with Family when searching for the device. To assist you better, we'd like to clarify few things:

    • When you mention 2 devices on your sons account, do you want to use two devices but using one account?
    • Could you provide us a screen shot of family list devices?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you check and follow the steps in this articles below on how to set up your Family:


    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
