Thread: No option for Admin log-on

^ Mate, turned it on for the first time a few hours ago ... I haven't set anything.

So, no password.

Thanks Niddy

Summary:

you should be able to boot into Safe mode where the login screen will show a user account that does not normally appear; it has the username Administrator and it exists for precisely this situation - when no functioning user-created Admin accounts exist on the computer.

Before fixing the problem using the procedures in this article, it is worth documenting the current state of all your user accounts as a reference during this procedure. Full instructions for doing so are provided.
Some potentially quick recovery procedures, such as Restore from a system restore point, might work in your circumstances so this article starts by identifying the most common of them.


If you cannot recover using one of these quick solutions, however, you should be able to boot into Safe mode where the login screen will show a user account that does not normally appear; it has the username Administrator and it exists for precisely this situation - when no functioning user-created Admin accounts exist on the computer.


You can use this Built-In account to create new Admin-level accounts for your own use. Once you have made those new Admin-level accounts you will once again have control over your computer including the ability to give permission for such things as installations. The Administrator account will then be disabled once again by the system and you will not see it in the list of user accounts at login.

Format the fucker and put a kosher Windows 10 on it.

Unless it's a crappy Celeron with 1Gb of RAM, in which case put Linux on it.

Either way, wipe the fucker.

A number of new laptops, including the HP Envy x2 and Asus NovaGo TP370QL, come with Windows 10 S (aka Windows 10 S mode) installed. Microsoft claims that 10 S is faster and more power efficient than the regular Windows, but in reality, it's just the main operating system with a few key restrictions. Namely, you can't install non-Windows store apps. That means that you're stuck with Edge as your only browser and you can't run a slew of programs you might really need.


JHC. If Win 10 wasn't bad enough, they go and do that!


I've Win 10 on laptop that's (thankfully) hardly ever used. What a crock. Win 7 Ultimate on the 3 main PC's.

I'd look at formatting it and trying to replace it with another OS if possible.

Unless it's easy to get it sorted and Win 10 runs well for what ye need.

Dependent on the evil Microsoft.

Comes around.

Microsoft is to operating systems ....
