Windows 10: SSD Windows Admin Access

My HP Spectre that I unfortunately found out the hard way is notorious for the mother board failing...broke. flat out cannot turn it on. Finally determined the motherboard failed after a series of tests via youtube videos. I took out the SSD and bought an adaptor. I go to the users and it wont let me access. I go to security settings per online instructions and it wants me to enter in my admin username and password. The problem is nothing is working to gain access. Not my laptop login info. not any of the passwords I have ever used. I've tried different usernames just in case....just nothing.

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Windows 10 no admin access

Hi,

We'd like to learn more about the issue that you recently encountered. For us to provide the troubleshooting steps, please clarify the following:

• When you mentioned that you have no admin access, does it mean that you can sign in to your own user profile but the privilege is limited?
• Have you made any changes or installed updates before this issue occurred?
• Did you encounter an error message/code when you tried to restore your PC?

To also answer your inquiry about the Admin account, there is a hidden built-in Admin account that you use in case of emergency. We will provide the instructions on how to access the hidden Admin account once we determine the root cause of your concern.

We look forward to your response.

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
