Signing in without password ( Archived) (52)

yep..
Is a source of much problems at many sites
specially with now more advanced and aware
users whom want either the
"extras" of google chrome,
FireFox, netScape, etc..

Me..??
i just stick with what I likes best
and MAKES it fit/work..
Sometimes it IS difficult getting
that digital square peg into
that binary round hole...

I assumed that since no other sites have ever done that to me that is was CS, SB. I belong to many different forum, work/business related and chat sites. So crucify me. Oh, wait! You already tried that. Nevermind. Since you won't explain WHERE this other info in my puter is, I suppose I will just have to cripple hobble along without you. Especially since I do not go to other people's website (from dating sites) where they can insert cookies and track me. Survival instinct maybe? Carry on!

Oh, and I reread what I wrote and I am pretty sure I am not accusing anyone of anything. It appears to me that I am asking questions. I let my sister use my computer when she is here and she has a weirder sense of humor than mine. I sure don't want her signing in under me accidentally and 'playing' around the forums.



I have never had that happen...well, yet anyway. Good to know in advance of it happening. Something else I don't understand is why they don't sign you out after a period of time. Some sites do that. I do like that.



That's odd. And you stay signed out on one page and not the other? Is this a separate tab/page or different windows?

O-K..
Look..
go here..

this is a MICROSOFT approvedsite which "tweaks" and
helps one alleviate different "settings" and other
functions in ALL Windows OS..
Another good place for software to help in
maintaining, and PROTECTING your system is



You already know my domains/sites but I think
"I" deal in areas you seem "afriad" to venture..
ASK others about these places..
and if they ARE programmers, (even script babies)
they will affirm my sincerity..
be advisied..
I have ASSISTED MANY in "various" computer,
software, programming, hardware, settings, etc.
HERE on CS..
MANY you know..
I need not (and do not) mention anyone's names..
Not knowing if you are using i7 or Vista, XP (sp2) etc..
I can not know what is in YOUR mind..
Some sites DO "sign-out" after certain period
of inactivity.. some (like banks) will not allow
dual sign in windows (tabs)..
Depending on your OS, what security programs,
(cause some OVER-RIDE settings) and optimizing software,
including MANY browser add-ons.. determine HOW your
surfing sessions will be regulated..
as for add-ons..
if you use Vista (similiar in XP - just slightly different
wording in tabs)..
click on Tools..
click manage add ons..
a window will come up with your add ons..
THOSE ARE NOT what is REALLY running..
go toward bottom middle.. see small tab..
click this..
will then show you ALL add ons.. or current ones..
or ones that run without permission, and
ones that you may not know are there, etc..
you should / can DELETE those YOU did not insert,
stop ones you do not like, and disable those you
feel are causing conflict..
MANY of the areas YOU specify that you frequent
mandate add-ons, cookies, trackers,
data miners, etc., etc. in order for you to use,
be a member, view, participate, etc.
YES.. it IS a browser "error".. and again..
default settings are the settings on a non changed item..
example is "homepage"..
if one does not change the default setting.. well..
but MANY sites TRY to change it "for" you..
SAME with other settings..
change settings in Administrator" mode rather then
a "user" mode..
In Vista..
even though it SAYS you are as "administrator"..
in actuality you are not..
and there is a "hidden" access..

HERE are STEP by step..
If you are used to the built-in Administrator Account in Windows previous versions, you can be surprised to find it missing in your Control Panel under the User Accounts section in Windows Vista. This option does exist, but has been hidden by default.
Why has the Administrator account been disabled in Vista?

As the Administrator account gives total access to your computer system, this security measure has been planned by Microsoft to prevent any incident from jeopardizing the stability and security of your system. Consequently, enabling this account is highly discouraged for your computer's security. I would strongly suggest you to avoid this, except if you are undergoing a troubleshooting process that requires the Administrator account's assistance.

Also, note that Vista Beta 2 users should NOT attempt this procedure particularly if you want to password protect the Administrator account. A bug residing in the operating system could seriously disrupt your computer's stability.
How to activate the Administrator Account

Solution 1: Through User Account Control
1. Go to your Start menu and right-click on the My Computer icon.
2. Choosing Manage from the list will prompt a User Account Control (UAC).
3. When you are done, the Computer Management console will appear. Expand the Local Users and Groups option with the use of the arrow next to it and choose Users folder.
4. You can now select the Administrator Account and go to the Actions panel to open More Actions.
5. Choose Properties to open the Administrator Properties dialog box and uncheck the option labeled Account is Disabled.
6. When done, click OK to confirm changes.
7. The Administrator account should now be present on your log in screen.
Solution 2: With Command Prompt
1. Go to your Start menu and in Accessories list, open Command Prompt by right-clicking on its icon and choosing Run as Administrator
2. When the Command Prompt window appears, enter the command net user administrator /active:yes
3. When done, log out from your current account.
4. The Administrator account should now be present on your log in screen.
Solution 3: With Safe Mode
1. You must restart your computer system to be able to boot in Safe Mode.
2. When the Windows screen appears, press the F8 key.
3. From the list, go to the option Microsoft Windows by using your keyboard arrows.
4. Instead of pressing the Enter key, press the F8 key again to display the Safe Mode boot screen.
5. Choose Safe Mode from the list and press the Enter key.
6. You will hence be taken to the log in screen that will display the Administrator account icon among your other current account/s.
How to disable the Administrator Account
Once you have done the necessary changes with the Administrator account, it would be wise to deactivate this option again. To do so,
1. Log out from the Administrator Account and log in on another user account.
2. Go to the Start menu and in Accessories list, select Command Prompt
3. When the window appears, enter the command net user administrator /active:no
4. Your log in screen should now display only your common user accounts.
For the Pro versions (or integrals) the easiest is to use Local Users and Groups
In the search bar in the Start menu, type lusrmgr.msc and validate.
Click Users.
In the window that is right, then to Administrator Properties and uncheck the box "Account is disabled"
Now I HOPE the jerk you THINK I am has
explained things enough..
the sites I gave including my own are ALL reputable,
safe, and loaded with TONS of easy to use/follow
hints, tips, instructions, and even some forums
and q & A areas..

Thanks for the info, SB. I appreciate it and when I get the guts to try it out, I will check and see if it will correct the problem.
