    Windows changed my user account and locked me out system files?


    What the...

    Long story short; I install Windows clean, put my own name as admin; the only user.
    I use, let's call it 'password_one' for clarity.

    Fine. Then once I'm in Windows I login with my MS account (which is also my Gmail address) and give it 'password_two' as it is my MS account password.

    Result: now my one and only user account is my MS account, my own name, but with my Gmail adress...and I have to login to Windows as well with my MS account password, 'password_two'.

    So windows decided to change it for me? Just deleted the old password and switched to using my MS account one?

    OK...so nevermind, everything works fine...except it doesn't!

    I can't apparently install all programs because I HAVE NO RIGHTS to edit the system32 folder contents any longer. It just says 'you must login as administrator to do this' and when I click OK it just says 'access denied'.

    But I'm still the ONLY user and the ONLY admin in Users - only not with the original password but which Windows changed there! There is NO way to login as anything else, and it won't accept my original 'password_two'

    So...the plot deepends...I try to do ANYTHING in policy editor for instance I get this:

    Namespace 'Microsoft.Policies.Sensors.WindowsLocationProvider' is already defined as the target namespace for another file in the store.


    File
    C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\Microsoft-Windows-Geolocation-WLP Adm.admx, line 5, colum 110.

    WTF????

    How do I regain control of my PC??? What is going on here???

  2. Windows 10 does not recognize me as Administrator even though I'm the only one in the system.

    CMD does not even recognize user administrator /active:yes. Says not found.

    There is also no Change Password link when in User Accounts for me or others on the system. I'm totally locked out

  3. User Account Control - Administrator Password Problems

    Hi,

    Since updating to Windows 10 Pro, my User Account has 'lost' Administrator Rights and I cannot access or change anything.

    For example - I try to 'Change Account Type' in 'User Accounts' and the UAC pop-up appears asking me to 'type an administrator password' for an email address that is not even listed in my Microsoft Account.

    There is no option for a forgotten password, so I am locked out of my own system by Windows 10 asking me to enter the Administrator Password for an email address that does not exist....

    Frustrated is an understatement....

    Any help or ideas will be very much appreciated....

    Kind regards,

    Gary
