Stuck in Standard, Where is the Admin?, "Other User", and other things
Hello,
This is an URGENT problem that I am having with this Windows 7, 64 BIT ULTRA MEGA AWESOME computer. This is probably the most unusual thing that has ever happened to the Windows community, and it's a problem causing problems.
You will find this typed up rant detailed in some sort of way, I don't want silly answers like:
"Just log out of Standard account and log into Administrator."
"Use the disk!"
"There are 28.3495 grams in an ounce."
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING BEFORE YOU ANSWER (or get know what I am dealing with at least)
Please answer with the best you can, It's not a bad thing if your suggestion didn't work but at least know what you're typing.
Problem: I am stuck in the standard account with the start page only having my selection of my named standard account and "Other User". I have no password to my Standard and it's a good fine account. Otherwise, clicking other user would give me the inserted "Username" and "Password" No administrator account there, not the one I named.
I in fact, caused this problem a long time ago (6 months?). I was trying to make a standard account for myself and have the administrator for my parents beside it. When I made the standard account, it didn't show up on the startup screen. I instead put it in "Other User" and it made the account. Although, it replaced where the administrator account was.
Stuck in Standard, I can't do anything about it. I can't change it in User Accounts and the "other" User accounts (The one in which you can go to properties and "add" it to the administrator group, didn't work) I can do Command Prompt in administrator as system32, but whenever I try to change ANYTHING about accounts, it would give me the lousy message of "Access Denied." I can't change my user account name, or anything that requires administrator privileges. [If I TRY to change the name, it won't change.]
Where is the Admin?, I can't bring out the windows admin cause I'm a standard account. I can't convert myself to Admin, and I can't create another account. I don't have guest either, so what can I do? Where did my admin account go?
*I don't have the windows disk*
PLEASE, make sure I can fix this without the disk, I don't have it and I sure hope I don't need it.
THANK you for reading this whole typed up rant, if you don't have an answer at least you know my problem. I can't find anyone in or was in the same situation as I am in.
Wish me luck, now answer away!
