    Hello I hope you are having a great day so far! So I use a HP Stream 14 and recently after the 1903 update I haven't been able to sign in. I've seen other people struggling with the sign out loop too. However, most of the solutions don't work or they require admin. I usually use a standard account with safe mode off and a PIN. I have forgotten the admin password and and security questions. I also don't have enough space to to reset. Is there anything I can do other than buying a new one? This happened a few months ago.

    :)

    Admin accounts

    Yes.

    An admin, if they try to browse the user folder of any other user (standard or admin) will be told they don't have access, but will be offered permanent access if they wish by clicking Continue. You won't accidentally stumble across her files, but you could look for them if you were determined. Can she trust you (or can you trust yourself) not to click Continue?

    Even signed in as an admin, most of the time you are running processes or apps as a standard user anyway. Only when you try to do something that requires admin rights will you be asked (as in the folder example above) if you want to use your admin privileges. The 'harm' would be if you click 'Yes' on a UAC prompt before taking the time to think about what it is that you'd be allowing to run.

    Admin accounts

    I'm getting my partner to give me a user account whereby I'll be able to login and install software at will. My questions are:
    • Does this need to be an admin account?
    • Secondly I don't want to see what files she has, that's her business and I know admin level users can see the files for a standard user but can they also view another admin's files?
    • And lastly I've often heard when one is doing normal day to day stuff on their computer they shouldn't sign in with their privileged account. But with UAC enabled if I do only sign in with my admin account what is the harm?

    Appreciate your help

    Sign out loop but only standard account no admin or security questions.

    How to change admin user account name?

    ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
    I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
    I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
    And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?
