Select menu File (here menu Datei, because it's a German Windows PE) and select Load hive.ĥ. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the left registry editor's pane (see screenshot shown above).Ĥ. The registry editor may be launched using regedit within a Windows PE command prompt windows (see screenshot below).ģ. Launch regedit.exe from command prompt windows, load the registry hive (see my instruction below) and alter the registry entry.
Boot your machine with Windows RE (use a setup DVD or a system repair disk) and open command prompt window ( see).Ģ. Enabling Administrator via a registry hackīecause Windows doesn't grants administrator rights, we need to boot the machine using Windows PE (using a Windows install DVD/USB drive or a system repair disk).ġ. But there are ways to enable the build-in "Administrator" account. This administrator account is disabled by default. But there is a build-in account named "Administrator" in Windows 7 up to Windows 10. In all cases it's strange, a user can't do anything requiring administrative privileges. Some users are reporting, they are no longer able to login using their existing account. And I guess, broken user profiles may be a cause for lost administrator credentials. And I found several posts, where users changed a user account to a guest account and ending in lost administrator rights.Īnother case, I've seen many times within Microsoft Answers forums: Users tried to configure auto login using userpassword2 command.
Also some users are reporting this issue after an upgrade to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Some has changed something within a user account, others are facing this behavior during a "broken" software installation. I've seen many forum entries, where users suddenly lost their administrator rights. The how to is just a "last resort to avoid a Windows re-install, in case admin rights are lost". I won't introduce password cracker therefor. Note: This is not a guide to hack third party computer systems, because this is illegal. This 'how to' shall work in Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (and its corresponding Server versions).
