Windows 10: Windows Administration Sign In Error

I have a samsung notebook 9 laptop. Recently I tried to reset windows and delete everything. After I did that it took me to an Administrator sign in, but it also gave me an error saying, "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted". I never created an administrator account and I don't have a password. How can I fix this? Also is there a way to do a factory reset? Thanks

:)

 

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?


I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.

 

administrator can't sign in

I appreciate your response. There is a possibility that your user account is not an administrator and that is the reason why the device is having an issue with receiving a remote control assistance. Since you are also having an issue with accessing the administrator
account of your wife, I suggest enabling the built-in administrator on your Windows 10. Using the built-in administrator account, you'll be able to make your user account as an administrator.

To enable the built-in administrator account, follow these steps:

• On Search type CMD to open the Command Prompt. Right click on CMD then choose Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Yes.
  
• In the Command Prompt window, type net user administrator /active:yes then hit the Enter key.
  
• You should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you’ll now see the Administrator account as a choice on the login screen.

Once you sign into the PC using the built-in administrator, follow these steps to make your user profiles as an administrator:

• Open the Settings app.
• Choose Accounts and then click on Other people.
• Click on your user account and then click on Change account type button.
• Change the account type to Administrator and then click OK.
• Log into your user profile.

Note: The built-in administrator account has more privileges than a regular administrator account. Privileges that can easily generate a conflict on your system. We only recommend enabling the built-in administrator account for troubleshooting purposes and
you have to disable it once you are done.

To disable the built-in administrator account, access the Command Prompt with administrator privileges. Type the command net user administrator /active:no then hit the Enter key. The built-in administrator account will now be disabled, and
shouldn’t show up on the login screen.

Let me know if further assistance is needed.

 

administrator can't sign in

Hi Jeff,

The usual reason why a user can't log into a computer is because of entering an incorrect username or password. To help us identify the cause why the administrator account on your PC can't sign in, we would need to know the following information:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What changes were made to the device before this issue occurred?
• Is the administrator account a local account or is he using a Microsoft account as his login credentials?
• What is the exact error message you are getting when you're trying to sign into the PC using the admin account?

If the administrator is using a Microsoft account, we suggest changing the account's password.
Once done, make sure that the device where he is trying to sign into is connected to the Internet so that the changes that he'll create to the account will be synchronized.

We're looking forward to your response.
