Control panel password

Question

How do I bi-pass the User Accounts Control Panel password requirement to restore back to a specific date?

Answer 1

If your PC is linked to a work account, that automatically adds restrictions to Windows, it is a known side effect.

Open the Settings App.

Go to Accounts.

Select Access Work or School, is the work Email listed there?

Answer 2

I am the administrator on the computer. It is my work computer but no limits have been set from our tech team.

To get the recovery key, do I have to know it before I get to the screen asking for the recovery key?

Answer 3

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1

Is your user account a full administrator account on the PC, or did you make any change to your account that may have set it to a standard account with no administrator privileges?

2

Are you able to use these steps to perform a system restore to a previous date?

Click the power button on your Start menu.

Press the Shift Key and click Restart

Your PC will boot into the Windows Recovery Environment

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore

Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to

Answer 4

Yes, I am the only one on this computer with no administrator password set up. I am unable to get to that point due the the administrator password window pop up. There is no administrator password set up.

Answer 5

Are you the administrator of the computer? Are you wanting to do a System Restore? If yes, type system restore in the search box and look at what restore points are available.
