Windows 10: Windows 10 administrator

My kid used my Hp elite and set his self as the admin by creating a microsoft account, now im not able to make changes to my computer. He tried to reverse this by removing my computer from his devices on his microsoft account. Now when i try to sign in as admin it say that the password is incorrect. Please help

How to correct misspelled name on Windows 10?

For those who don't see the "rename" option, it wouldn't work even if you saw it, if you're logged in as yourself (the folder would be in use). However, I did this for a user whose name was misspelled and now he gets a profile error ("can't sign you in,
you've been signed in with a temporary profile") each and every time he logs in. There must be a solution other than his living with a misspelled name! Please advise, thank you.

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Hello boggsc71 and welcome to the forums. First have him set your account as an Administrator account. You can have more than one admin account. If you want then either one of you can change his account to a user account or a local account. This will tell you how. Account Type - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Tutorials

 

When i try to do anything i get a popup that reads; Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? To continue enter admin user name and password. But there's no where to enter a password or user name.

 

Have you set your account as an Administrator account? Please post a screenshot here showing the screen you are getting. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...en-forums.html

 

You might have to use the hidden built in administrator account to set yourself back to admin again.

Administrator account - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Tutorials[1]=User%20Accounts

 

The UAC popup will offer you the name of an admin account and ask for its password, with the option of choosing another admin account if one is available. The fact that it doesn't offer any accounts to use suggests that there are no longer any local administrator accounts left on this PC.

The only way to make one or promote an existing account to an administrator is to use option 4 in the tutorial and enable the built-in Administrator.

Sorry for the extra pics having trouble uplaoding.

 

When i get this popup it does not give me anyplace to enter user name or password!

 

That confirms what I said earlier - there are no admin accounts on this PC any more!

 

Ok after i enable the built-in administrator how do i log on as that admin? When i go to start and try to change accounts the only one that shows up is the standard account im on now.

 

You need to boot into Safe mode to do this in your case [of having no remaining Admin accounts on the computer]. See Use the Built-In Admin account in Safe mode - Wiki.
