    Old work computer on old domain and I don't have admin credentials


    I was given my old work computer after our company sold and I just realized I don't have any of the admin credentials. I would like to remove the computer from the domain so I can have admin privileges and add virus protection, etc. Every time I do anything, it asks for credentials and I can't get any further. Is there a way to get rid of the domain and get admin privileges so that I can use this as my computer now?

    :)

    Join domain option missing

    If you have updated to Fall Creator's Update 1709, do the following to add your Windows 10 system to the domain.

    • Go to the search box
    • Type "system", press Enter
    • The old Windows system screen will appear
    • Select Change Settings
    • Select Change
    • Enter your computer name
    • Enter your Domain name
    • Select ok
    • Enter your admin credentials
    • Restart the computer

    Hope this helps.

    old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Old work computer on old domain and I don't have admin credentials

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.
