| | User is both an Administrator, and not an Administrator. Cannot change An account on my Windows 7 installation cannot have its type changed from an administrator to a user account. I tried to change it using the cmd and I'm getting these messages: >net localgroup administrators AccountName /delSystem error 1377 has occurred. >net localgroup administrators AccountName /add System error 1378 has occurred.I recently used a livecd to change this account to an administrator since I had forgotten my password to another account, and now I need to change it back. What should I do? |

| | If you login to an administrator account, you can try this. Right click on Computer and select Manage. The Computer management console will open up. In this console on the left side select "Local Users and Groups". On the right side of this applet double click on "Users", Select the particular user you wish to change and right click on it and select "properties". Go to the "Member of" tab and you will see the different groups alloted to this user. Now you can add, delete these groups to suit your requirement. For changing the password for a user, right click on the username and select "Set Password". |

| | Thanks for the suggestion, I gave it a try. I get the same errors as when I try to use cmd commands, both adding and deleting. Thanks for the other tips, but the fact remains that I need to change the account back to a user. |

| | To prevend my kid from using Live CD to boot system and change password in the registry file, I set passwords for all my home PCs' BIOS, and set only hard disk bootable in all PCs. If this is not enough, please share your experience. By the way, Microsoft is really suck! |
