How to log into HR as an administrator. How to log in as an Administrator in Windows XP

Surely you didn’t know that when creating new article, I find topics for writing them precisely thanks to your comments. Just very often, various questions are asked, how can one do this or that? So, in order not to describe the execution of all the actions in the comments, I began to write separate articles, which in the future will allow me, instead of writing a huge comment, to provide a link to full instructions.

In general, this article is also an answer to one question, namely: how to set administrator rights for the created account. I decided to consider this topic because I was left a comment asking for help in understanding the current situation. In general, the user decided to create a new account and delete all files and documents on the old user profile. They tried to do this from a newly created account, but the system did not allow this.

This is because the new account does not have administrator rights and therefore cannot edit the personal folders of other users. I would like to note one point that when creating a new account, by default it is created as a regular user, and only then can you give it certain rights.

You can give permissions for an account in different ways, both using Windows’ own tools and using third-party programs. Which one to use depends on the current situation. So if you wanted to know how to give administrator rights to a new user profile, then read on carefully.

Setting up administrator rights for a new account in a Windows environment

So, let's start with the most common option. By the way, if you have created a new account, then all the steps described below should be done by booting from the old account, which already has administrator rights.

So, in order to give administrator rights to a new user, you should open the “control panel” and go to settings “ Accounts».

Select the user who should have administrator rights by clicking on the icon.

Now click on "".

And here you will see the main window in which we will assign administrator rights to the selected account. Further, everything couldn’t be simpler, there are two options, the first is standard, which will be selected by default, and the second “ Administrator", exactly what we need. Having marked it, click on “ Change account type».

To complete the process, simply log in to your newly created profile and check the result.

An alternative way to install administrator rights in Windows

Now, let's look at another option, which is very often used by most system administrators.

To set administrator rights using this option, we will need to call the properties " Management e", which you can find by simply right-clicking on the computer icon.

In the settings window that appears, go to “ Local users", well, there in "".

A list of profiles that have been created on the computer will open; select the desired account by double-clicking on it, open its properties and immediately go to the “” tab.

Here you can see that the created account is in the “” group, but since we want to get administrator rights, we need the “” group to be indicated there.” To do this, delete the old group and create a new one by clicking on the “ button Add».

If the name of your computer appears in front of the group name, then everything is in order, just to complete and close all windows, click on “ OK" And " Apply».

This is how I install administrator rights on most computers.

Installing administrator rights using a Sonya LiveCD

What to do if you do not have access to your account already existing rights, but you desperately need to set administrator rights for the new account so that you don’t have to do it again later.

Well, if you have a password on your administrative account or it is locked, and you created a new user and did not know that he would be with standard rights, then the LiveCD boot disk will help you do this, which I mention more and more often in articles when solving various errors.

If you are not yet the owner of such a miracle, then I recommend that you download it from here: LiveCD, and, believe me, you will need it more than once when setting up your PC.

So, what do we do when the disk is ready? Of course, we put it in the drive and boot from that disk. A boot menu will appear where we should select the line with the words “”.

After waiting for the system to finish loading, using the start, go to “ All programs» – « Passwords" There we launch the program "". By the way, we have already worked with her at .

Now, specify the location of the Windows folder using the browse button.

We select for which account administrator rights will be installed and click on the button “ Apply».

Literally in a moment a notification about the completed work should appear.

All that remains is to restart the computer and check whether administrator rights have been installed on the computer, or rather, on the account you need. These options differ from each other in that you can use the first two only if you already have access to a user with previously established administrator rights, but the third will help you in any case, regardless of whether you are a simple user or an administrator.

Installing administrator rights on the computer for any account

A small instructive article from which you will learn how you can find out what rights your account has, what other users are present in the system, and how to log into the OS as an administrator.

So, let's start the excursion with the most basic and paramount.

How to find out which profile ( account) Are you logged in?
IN Windows XP it is enough that you open Start Menu and see the account name in the header.
IN Windows 7 need to go to Control Panel And User Accounts.

IN Windows XP right-click on To my computer, select Properties, go to the tab Additionally and click the button Options in the field User Profile:

A window will appear in which you can see all user profiles and, if necessary, play tricks with them. But that's what anyone wants.

In Windows 7 we follow the path: Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> User Accounts -> Account Management

Now we'll find out What rights does the account (profile) have?.
In XP and 7 this is done the same way - right-click on To my computer(in the Start menu or on the Desktop) and select Control.

Next we need a point Local groups and users and in it Users

If you click on a user, you can also play tricks with his rights and password, which is what we’ll do now.

IN Windows XP You can only change and add a profile using administrator rights. They can be obtained, in most cases, by logging into the system.

IN Windows 7 it's more interesting. The fact is that even if you have an Administrator account, he is, as it were, not a full Administrator. The "seven" has a built-in SuperVisor or SuperAdministrator, and to log into the OS under it you just need to uncheck the box Disable account V Administrator Properties.

After this, we reboot and when loading, a new account will appear:

There is still a small nuance here. In Windows 7 Home Basic and Starter there are no Local Policies, which means you cannot uncheck the item.
But it’s okay, you just need to launch (the console) (RMB on it and selecting Run as administrator), then enter in the field

net user Administrator /active:yes

and reboot.

It is worth warning you that when you log into the system as an Administrator, all programs (including those located in) are launched with his privileges. This can give the green light to all sorts of viruses and malware.
And yet, it is advisable to set a password for the Administrator account.

Sometimes computer users complain that they cannot perform any actions on their machine due to restricted rights. The reason is they no administrator rights. If the system reports that you have not enough rights to change something, then most likely you are not working as an administrator, but under another account (guest, user, power user).

To view profiles stored on your computer, you need to call the main system menu by clicking the “Start” button and open the context menu of the “My Computer” element by right-clicking. Select the “Properties” item.

Then go to the “Advanced” tab in the dialog box that opens. Select “Settings” located in the “User Profiles” section.

A window will open user profiles. You can see everything here active profiles in the system.

In order to look what rights does your profile have? you need to call the main system menu by clicking the “Start” button and open the context menu of the “My Computer” element by right-clicking. Select the “Management” item

In the window that appears, select Local users ---> Users. Here you can see which one the profile has administrator rights

If you select Local Users ---> Groups, you can see what rights each group has.

You can add a profile or change user rights only from the Administrator account. Now about that how to log in as administrator?

On Windows XP, this can be done through Safe Mode. When the system boots, you need to press the F8 key. In order not to miss the moment, after sound signal computer, or after the first message appears, you need to make a series of F8 presses until the boot selection menu appears. Depending on the BIOS (mine is like this), the Boot menu may appear first. In this case, by moving the arrows up and down, you need to select boot from disk (HDD), press Enter and immediately repeat a series of F8 presses until the boot selection menu appears. Next, in the proposed list, select the line Safe Mode and press Enter. Typically, in a Windows XP system, such an input is provided login with administrator rights.

The Administrator account in Windows 7 is disabled by default. This is done to protect system processes from the influence of inexperienced users and malware. To enable the Administrator account you need to do the following:

Right-click the Computer icon in the Start menu and select Manage from the context menu that appears.

In the left menu of the Windows 7 Management Console, open Computer Management --> Utilities --> Local Users and Groups --> Users. On the right there will be a list of Windows 7 users. You need to double click Administrator account.

In the window that appears, on the “General” tab, you need to uncheck the item Disable account and click OK.

Restart your computer. After that The Administrator account will be available on the Windows 7 login page.

When working under the Administrator account, all programs, including malware, are launched as an administrator. User Account Control will not be able to protect the system from malicious influences. That's why use the Administrator account for computer administration only. If there is more than one user on the computer, the Administrator entry must be protected with a password.

I hope this information will be useful, and you will no longer have to prove to the computer that you are the Administrator.

Administering Windows XP is always a troublesome task. And even the most experienced users do not always know the intricacies of its settings. Sometimes, because access to a particular file is denied, it is easier to grant " public use» the entire file system. Moreover, if we're talking about about the home car.

Setting up sharing of individual files and folders

To configure shared access to individual folders (the files nested in them) and individual files in Windows XP, you must have administrator rights.

Let's look at the sequence of actions using a specific example. To configure, you need to do the following:

• Select the desired file system element by right-clicking.
• In the list of possible actions on an element, select the “Properties” command.
• At the bottom of the dialog box, check the box next to “Use simple file sharing (recommended).”

Thus, not one of the users of this PC will be denied access to it.

But if you want to provide shared access to all elements of the computer’s file system except system ones, then Windows XP has this feature. To do this, using administrator rights, you should perform the following manipulations:

• We go to my “My Computer”.
• Open the “Service” tab at the top.
• Select “Folder Options” from the menu.
• In the window that appears, select the “View” tab.
• In the dialog box, check the “Use simple file sharing (recommended)” checkbox.
• Don't forget to click "Ok" and "Apply".

This procedure will only be effective if you are logged into the system with administrator rights. Otherwise, you will be denied the opportunity to make changes.

To check whether the modifications you made have taken effect, do the following:

• Go to “Properties” of any of the folders.
• Go to the “Security” tab.

If the issue was successfully resolved, all user groups received the right to share access to all files and folders (except for system ones).

By default, the Security tab is hidden in Windows XP. To display it in the “Properties” window of all files and folders of the system, having administrator rights, you need to act according to the first algorithm. That is:

• Go to my “My Computer” and open the “Service” tab.
• Select “Folder Options” and on the “View” tab, uncheck the box next to “Use simple file sharing (recommended).”
• Click “Ok” and “Apply”.
• Then open “Folder Options” again and use the checkbox to reactivate sharing of all elements of the file system.

Setting up network sharing

Often in Windows XP, while working on a network, you need to exchange information between several computers. Most of the data used is concentrated in only a few folders. Therefore, having administrator rights, it would be logical to implement the ability to access them for all PCs on the network.

A few important aspects

To allow access to all or specific folders, you need to consider several important aspects:

Ø In order to change permissions, you must log into the computer with administrator rights. Any other lower account ("guest") will be denied access.

Ø In Windows XP Home Edition, simple sharing is always enabled by default.

Ø B Windows versions XP "Professional" interface for setting up sharing is included for PCs that are part of a workgroup.

Ø If you disable simple access through a folder property, the result is greater control over setting rights for certain user groups.

Ø When setting up sharing for specific folders, this permission is hierarchical (applies to subfolders and files). Operations with a higher-level file system element will be denied.
