Thank you, I still get access denied when trying to shutdown/restart PCs. Any help on that topic anyone?
WOW

I am having the exact same problem as described in this report. I tried to follow these instructions above to correct the situation, but when I tell it to Run as administrator a box pops up asking me if I want to allow changes to be made. The yes box is grayed out and I cannot select it. Every fix I have tried goes to this same point and then stops because I cannot give permission to make changes. How do I make this correction without having an administrator account active on my computer?
Access Denied
5 system failure Says Help 🙁
After I type in net user administrator /active:yes it says my access is denied what do I do? Please Help

Please help. The Administrator thingy that ask for a password keeps on popping on whenever I get on to Command Prompt Administrator
On the command Prompt, after you paste (administrator /active yes. You say something so fast about enter I can't hear you. Do I just type in C:WINDOWSYSTEM32> and press enter?
Thank you so much
Thanks 🙂
