Hi all,

After a quick google search, i still don't understand :

On my pc with XP Pro, i'm admin; but in the user management
(control pane) i can't see the other user. I have tried anything
(and foremost there is a language problem because it's a polish
PC, which makes all very hard) but i see only the admin account.
i thought administrator had all privileges ? click on another user,
change password, so easy it should be ?

The the user account is marked disabled or locked out, it will not appear.

Try:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\lusrmgr.msc

and click on Users (left pane). CHeck to see if the user shows in right
pane. If so, right-click on username, Properties and see what is checked.

I did what you say : i see (translated) on right pane :

Guest, marked with a red cross
Master, (i'm logged here) admin group
Pomxxx, which belongs to no group at all
Support M$, belonging to group service and support

i can't see the account i'm searching for :/

maybe it's guest ? but the login is not that.
password change is dchecked as disabled.;

then that account doesn't exist. it was removed at some time, or
(possibly) windows glitched and removed the account for you (doubt that
highly).

sorry.

Would there be any other possibility ? because the account must
exist. i know it's login and ...hm, forgot the password (made a
spelling error) it's the PC of my friend. IBM thinkpad, which is used
for work every day...

When i go to system tools, users, -i see the Master account, and
a unknown account fron 3,5 Gb.....
the Master has not event the rigth to tweak some security
setting, like account disable after a certain number of
password try, account disable for 120 mn, etc, etc, this is all
locked even for master.

I've check 5 of our systems and do not have a Users option under System
Tools.
Are you using Start Menu | Accessories | System Tools | Users?

Right-click on users and choose Properties and tell us what the pathname is
(in English).

I take it you login as Master (you say the Master account does not event (I
suppose you menat even) the right to tweak some security ....). If that is
true, what is the Account Type for Master (check Control Panel } User
Accounts) and see what it has for Master.

By the way, PomXXX must belong to some Group.

DId you check C:\Documents and Settings\[USER NAME YOU'RE LOOKING FOR]?

Is it there ... if not and it does not show up in Local Users and Groups,
then the account you're looking for is probably not a Windows Account.

That is why it is imperative you find out what the pathname of System Tools
| Users is.

No :( there is no Users where you say : i'm until system tools,
but there is - security center, defrag, info system, copy to floppy,
creator for file transfer, disk cleaner, character table... not Users.
And przywracanie systemu, i don't know what this.
Right-click on users and choose Properties and tell us what the pathname is
(in English).

i can't because i didn't get the "Users" item before.

Master is Administratorzy....at buttom, the "else" button is checked,
and in the pulldown there is "administrator"

By the way, PomXXX must belong to some Group.

Ensure you no :)

DId you check C:\Documents and Settings\[USER NAME YOU'RE LOOKING FOR]?

Yes, the name of my friend is there :

Administrator,
All users,
Default user (which is grey)
friend's name.

Is it there ... if not and it does not show up in Local Users and Groups,
then the account you're looking for is probably not a Windows Account.

That is why it is imperative you find out what the pathname of System Tools
| Users is.

I also look under Control Panel, system tools, local security
administration,
and there it's translated : princip password (i guess policy), princip
of blocking
account, below there is princip local, public keys, ...the rest is
silence

the 4 first item are locked, i can't make any changes, there is a lock
on
the folder icons.

Well, there must be major differences between your system and everybody
elses.

You stated:
When i go to system tools, users, -i see the Master account, and
a unknown account fron 3,5 Gb.....
the Master has not event the rigth to tweak some security
setting, like account disable after a certain number of
password try, account disable for 120 mn, etc, etc, this is all
locked even for master.

Note, you said system tools, users, -i ....

That is why I asked where users appeared ... you stated that users was under
system tools.

You need to be more explicit. What applications are you using and how are
you getting there.

Start Menu ... then what?

Or are you getting there from Windows Explorer?

You switch between System tools, and Control Panel | System tools ...
however on our systems there is no System tools under Control Panel ... just
System.

And how are you getting to local security administration ... under what
application?

Do not understand:
Master is Administratorzy....at buttom, the "else" button is checked,
and in the pulldown there is "administrator".

What "else" button? DOes the button say "else"? This is coming from the
Control Panel | User Accounts screen?
