Can I have some close help with my new PC as the Admin of it?
LockedI’ve got a problem that I probably somehow caused myself. I’m new to using Windows 8 and now 8.1 on this new All-In-One pc. I’m the only user that it has or has ever had.
Somehow I’ve been turned into just a User and I’m now not the Admin. THIS is a BIG problem!
On top of this, and they way that I discovered this whole mess is that I can only run Microsoft Office programs, Windows built-in items and Internet Explorer.
If I try to run anything else, a box pops up similar to this one I put here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=711759242187727&l=b108c95d0b
Would SOMEONE please let me know Right away if you can’t see this PIC with this link?
I’d prefer asking for help on this using Private Messages and not via Forum Postings since I am basically asking for help from anyone who might know how to break into my computer.
I wanted to add that:
1. I’ve found that Windows 8 is not set automatically in the BIOS to boot from a CD. And I can’t seem to alter that choice since I’m not an Admin.
2. A freeware Program can be downloaded and burned onto a bootable CD that will give a person all of the User & Admin names & passwords. I think that I made myself this since I had made a bootable CD once a few years ago so I had a tiny bit of experience with this. But since my only Win 8.1 pc won’t boot from a bootable CD, I don’t think that I can even test it. Maybe I could just try booting my Win XP pc on it?
