  1. Reset Password of Another Account OR Get Admin CMD with limited accoun


    Hey guys!
    I have a little problem. My educational tablet has an Admin account which the school has put a password. They have made my account a limited one. I just want to reset the Admin account to install some stuff. The school wont give me the password. If this is not possible, then i could use CMD if i got admin rights. If anyone knows how to do the first option or the second option, then PLEASE reply below.

    Info:
    Touchscreen, No keyboard, Access to limited account.

    :)

    Need to get my administrator privileges restored

    It has been resolved. Had to go into safe mode and enter the cmd and reenable the Administrator account. Then logged into the system through the admin account with a password to add the admin privileges to my account.

    That fixed it.

    Deleted Active Admin Account through CMD

    Hi everyone.

    My name is SK and I recently upgraded my new Yoga 3 Pro to Windows 10. I have already transferred most of my files into the Yoga and during this process I used CMD to secure the hidden Admin account (net user) with a password. Now in order to get Cortana
    working I needed to sign in with a Microsoft Account which I did and it mentioned that it will replace the existing password with the Microsoft Account password.

    It was during this moment where I thought that it was safe to delete the old account name which the Microsoft Account replaced the password with (I assumed DefaultAccount was the Microsoft Account that replaced the local account). After deletion and a reboot
    cycle, I am stuck at the login page with none of my passwords working (even a blank password fails).

    Is there a default password that Windows replaces it with that I can use to login to my account? To me the files that were transferred are the ones that I'm worried about. I need help for this as F8 on a Yoga doesn't seem to work. Is the only way to create
    a bootable image of Windows 10 and run CMD to enable the hidden Admin account and transfer my files through it?

    Thanks in Advance,

    SK.

    Reset Password of Another Account OR Get Admin CMD with limited accoun

    Presumably the reason the school has set students as standard accounts and won't release the admin password is to prevent malware being installed accidentally and getting loose on their network. You can see their point.

    Rather than asking them for the password or trying to get round it (you can't) why not ask them to check out the software you want to install and get them to install it for you?

    You cannot reset the password of an admin account or give yourself admin rights with a limited account. This is by design. If either were possible it would largely nullify the purpose of a limited account. If this were possible, however difficult, Microsoft would very much like to know about it, so they could fix this serious problem.

  6. Ok.
    But can you help me to make or show the steps to make a macro? Because I just realised that password stuff is not allowed on this forum.
