| Guest | RE: cant login to my administrative account I have the same problem too. A few months ago i bought my laptop (hp dv6735) and have my user account set up initially to administrator account only. A few days ago i created a new account and assigned it as the administrator, and my old account i switched as the standard user account. Now, i cannot access my adminstrator account anymore and it prompts "logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer". I am really sure that my password is correct, but i am wondering (like crazy) why i cannot access my administrator account? there are required software updates that i cannot install anymore as it needs adminitrator permission...please help us "patricia" wrote: Quote: > hi, im hoping that someone can help me with my problem, ive had my dell > computer which is windows vista home premium, for about 7 months now! im not > very good with computers cause im new with this, well one day i put my > password in like i always do to log in to my account, when i was done with > what i was doing, i walked away for about 5 min, when i came back it was back > on the log on when you first get on, i put my pass word back in again and it > would not let me get in, not because it was the wrong password, and thats > what my problem is, why would it do this? i already sent it out to be > rebooted cause i forgot my administrative password, the one you put on for > your computer thingy when you first get it, i know, i shouldnt of put a > password in, now i know cause no matter who i call, microsoft, comcast or > whoever, they say they cant help me!! great right? has anyone here ever have > this happen to them? please let me know what it was so that i wont let it > happen again, also when i logged on to another standerd account that i have, > it wouldnt let me go onto websights, it would give me a bad request message > saying that i was typing address in wrong when i wasnt even typing them in > please help me? thanks patty |
