As the result of some missteps in setting up a new Windows PC, I now have just a local account. I have no Administrator account and I can not do any management actions. So now I want to do a reset to get back to the original OS state. I have a Recovery Drive with system files that I made when I first unboxed the new computer. I can boot from that but I can't continue the Reset without the missing Administrator password. Is there some way to activate the Reset from the Recovery Drive?
If it's a new pc, why not wipe the whole hard drive and reinstall windows?
If it was a pre-built PC most of the times they come with its own 'recovery' partition which you can boot from and reinstall/etc.
Have you tried that?

Hi I want to know is there a way that I can check whether someone booted my PC with a CD/DVD or USB with a live operating system.
Because this way anyone can steal my PC data.
And please guide me how can I protect my data from such theft, One way I know is BIOS password but that password can be reset by removing the battery from motherboard.
first possibility is like you said to put a password in your BIOS.
protect your computer with a lock (or something else) to prevent opening for removing the battery.
if your lock or security system is broken you will be able to know that someone tried or did something.

My mom forgot her password, and she can’t log in to her laptop now. Is there a way for us to get our family pictures? That’s the only thing we really want to recover. I’m not a Windows user, so I’m clueless; any suggestions are more than welcome.
If the windows account is connected to a Microsoft account, the password can be reset through Microsoft directly (i.e outlook.com).
However, I am not aware of a simple way to reset the password of a local user on windows.
An alternative that may work would be to boot from a Linux live USB (DO NOT INSTALL from the USB) and access the files on the disks from there.

With W7x64, all commands ("mkdir", "ping", "ipconfig", or the installed "composer") grant an "access refused" error.
I shut down firewall (Comodo), disabled UAC, launched cmd as administrator, created a brand new administrator session, checked and altered owning permissions (setting them to my account), and, of course, restarted the damn machine.
Last piece of information, but I don't think it has any relevance : system is on SSD.
Edit : Here is a screen shot:
I can't figure what happened to my command line, but installing an alternative (I choose conemu) makes things returning to their old self again.

Hey Any one please help me !! An unknown extra drive is shown in My Computer and when i tried to open it ... it says Access Denied .... I don't know from where it come from and when i checked it in Disk Management its not their. Please help me to remove that drive.
Below is the screen short of that Drive & Disk Management.
When I restarted my Windows system it's gone.
Remember: You should do a restart, not a shut down.
I think it's related to Windows updates.
I wonder if this could be that 100MB Windows Reserved EFI system partition that you somehow started displaying instead of it being hidden by default.
