what about a streaming device like firetv stick or something? i used to snatch a mac like this because as long as noone uses it in that time it works pretty good and the it’s usually a device that can be used anytime (my dad had it on unrestricted because watching late at night sometimes)
Attempted to change.
After rebooting into the CMD prompt option from the advanced options screen, it asked for an administrator account login first before I could open it. Therefore it didn’t work as I was trying to create/reset a new admin account without having access to an old admin account. Weird because I found similar sources that suggested doing the same thing to reset an admin password.
I happen to be signed into different accounts on my laptop and phone. I don’t get why you’re so offended by this lol. Thank you to everyone else by the way who is trying to help.
honestly i did the same with friend phone mac, but the problem was he deleted it after a while if the friend wasn’t coming over often, and i was more often at other friends houses than they were at mine
Don’t have. It’s alright; I most likely won’t be changing this.
i think you might have bitlocker disk encryption enabled (it’s probably a laptop?), because the whole disk is encrypted, you need an admin password to unlock it, in that case you’re really out of luck, sorry
for a moment i thought damn they finally patched it after over a decade (win 7 released 2009), so i had to try it for myself and it still worked on my fully patched win 11 24h2 (latest release preview) without bitlocker, the following is just for reference:
i tried the windows method (hold shift + press restart), in the recovery cmd i could do c:
, cd /windows/system32
, move Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak
, copy cmd.exe Utilman.exe
and exit
just fine, then press continue and i could open cmd through accessibility button on the login screen, netplwiz
opened the window like showed in the video from which i could go to advanced and then advanced user management, there i could create a new admin user and set his password, login to that user and opening terminal (admin) with uac prompt worked too, the next step would’ve been to hide the user from the login screen, but i skipped that as this method wasn’t working for you anyway (but for reference here’s a link: How to hide specific user accounts from the sign-in screen on Windows 10 | Windows Central)
