Timelady Gallade Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Im not sure if this goes here, but google didn't help.So here we go. My mum just got me a second-hand laptop with windows 8, and theres only a guest account, which is disabled. All google searches needed you to have a admin account, Any idea how to fix it? Also, its Windows 8. All help is appreciated.

fishers64 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You need to get into the user account settings somehow, but if all you have is a guest account that might not be possible. Then you need to set yourself up an admin account. If you can't get into the user account settings, I think you need to scrap the operating system and start over. Did the laptop come with a Windows 8 software disk? Usually, upon setup, you can modify the computer's user accounts, which will solve your problem.

Art Vandelay Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure there always has to be at least one admin account on Windows to prevent this kind of situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only uses her latop for notepad. though. XDAlso, I'll try that when i get back from school. EDIT: Managed to find a Sony step by step guide on how to restore without a disk. lets hope this works, it could take up to two hours.
