    Hello,I did something VERY dumb on my Windows 11 ALL-In-ONE PC. I changed my admin account to a standard account thinking I could change it back. Why I did this I don't know! I googled every possible work-around, but Windows 11 is so secure that no 3rd party applications work.I tried to download the "run as tool" but that won't work on Windows 11.I have called Geek squad and made an appointment for them to come to my home and fix this, but my question to you isRestoring admin rights :Do you think they have any "special" tools that can basically hack into your system and correct this problem or is a fresh Windows ins

    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.

  3. No admin rights

    Chose the free upgrade to Windows 10 and I was listed as the administrator. Tried downloading a printer disc but was denied admin access. Started fooling with my Admin acct, added a guest, changed mine to user and have lost all abilities to access anything
    that needs Admin. Won't allow me to: net user admin/activate:yes. Can't restore to previous point because I have no Admin access. Can't even use the admin command.

    With no new disc can't do a reinstall. Any suggestions. Very frustrated. Triedlusrmgr.msc. and it didn't work.
