problem to log in

[LUCAS70]

hello
i guess i made a big mistake last night
first my english is not the best (i am french so i apologize for the faults and hope you will uunderstand me ).
So because after hours and hours of trying, it was impossible to update window 7 (i restaured it from a disk image), i finaly used wsu (not the last version)
everything was all right. at a moment the process seemed stuk (when it checks the missing updates and says to be patient because it will take a while) because there was no more blinking dash. here i realised i was on the WOUTempAdmin network account, i read on the web how to deal with that, so i went on my admin user account and changed the WOUTempAdmin 's password... it was ok, i relaunch the process which restart at the same point, but i didn't know which account was the best to finish the process...i waited but not enough. At a moment, i noticed that the WOUTempAdmin was very clean et updated compare to my user account (there was still some data and softwares i didn't want any more...) .here i guess a made a big mistake because i decided to delete my admin/user account ! then i logged on WOUTempAdmin and window told me as an administrator, i could change the WOUTempAdmin network account in a admin/user account. it was the only solution i had, so i sayed yes. then the process restart at the same point (ckeking missing updates), i was happy it works again, i was so stupid to delete my user account during the process, i knew it but i did it... the problem now : today when i woke up , the process seemed finished, the computer was waiting i log in. i did it one time with my finger print, window set up few updates... finaly i was asked to log in again but i can't anymore ! : there is only one account, the WOUTempAdmin network account, it is no more a user account and the password i put last night doesn't work. i can't log in anymore, i don't see an option to log the user/admin account !!!
What can i do? i guess i put myself in a big chit! how can i find the WOUTempAdmin network account's password?
i hope you could understand me enough and some has a solution among you...
thanks your answers, it is an emergency...

WOUTempAdmin has a temporary random password. It's impossible to recover it.
And normally wsusou deletes the WOUTempAdmin account after it finished. I currently don't know, what Windows does, if you try to delete the last account on a computer.

Try the following (do it step by step):
Insert a Windows DVD / USB Key
Boot from it (press F8/F10/F11/F12/ESC on startup; depends on your mainboard)
Press Shift+F10 [a cmd-window should appear]
Enter

Code: Select all

diskpart
select disk 0
list partition


Note the partition number of your Windows partition
Enter

Code: Select all

select partition <your number>
assign letter w
exit
cd /d "W:\Windows\System32"
ren .\Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak
copy .\cmd.exe .\Utilman.exe
wpeutil reboot


The computer should restart now.
On the login screen press the "Easy Access"-button [left bottom of the screen].
A cmd-window should appear.
Enter

Code: Select all

net user Administrator /active:yes
exit


Boot into the Windows DVD/USB Key again and repeat the steps up to the "cd"-command. Now enter

Code: Select all

del /f /q .\Utilman.exe
ren .\Utilman.exe.bak Utilman.exe
wpeutil reboot


The computer should restart again with an account named "Administrator".
Log in as "Administrator" and create a new admin-user. Also run wsusou's .\client\cmd\CleanupRecall.cmd
After logging in into your new account search for "cmd.exe" (Start Menu Search-box) and run it as Admin (right-click menu).
Enter

Code: Select all

net user Administrator /active:no


Done!

hello Aker
thanks very much for replying. i am on it but it seems there is a problem with the code here :
assign letter w ( i wrote w in minuscule ok?)
exit (he quits diskPart ok)
cd /d "E:\Windows\System32" (here it says the access specified is not valid ??)
what shall i do? keep on typing or there is a problem in the code?
thanks

Hello again and thanks again
i sent you a another message wich is not on line yet, i add a precision to the question and have 2 little more questions to be sure i understood your indications about tho process :

1/
so as i said, the line doens't work...
cd /d "E:\Windows\System32"
a little correction : it doesn't says it is invalid, it says he doesn,'t find the access way

2/ when you wrote "Boot into the Windows DVD/USB Key again and repeat the steps up to the "cd"-command. "
you meant i repeat the steps up to i type that line ;
cd /d "E:\Windows\System32"

3/ at the last step you wrote " Also run wsusou's .\client\cmd\CleanupRecall.cmd"
i run it from "cmd.exe? or i 'll find this command in the program's folder?
right after that, i'll log in into my new account and type the last step (net user Administrator /active:no )?

sorry to ask theses precisions, i jprefer to be sure now, so i won't bother you to much

thanks

so replaced E by w on the line
cd /d "E:\Windows\System32"
then i wrote the other lines
but when the computer reboot, the easy button didn't open anything when i clic on it.
now i don't know what to do. shall i type the whole process again ?

[aker]

I actually mistyped the command, it should be W:\Windows\System32, that's correct. I just edited my previous post.
You may try pressing the Shift-Key five times in a row, that should work, too.
If it does not help, repeat the booting steps again (last line to execute: the cd-command) and enter

Code: Select all

dir Utilman*
dir cmd*


Then post the result of the commands here.

[LUCAS70]

i did the process again but it didn't go further than ren .\Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak...
Why this f... cmd-window didn't open on the log in screen ,maybe i was too quick when i cliked on the easy button.
exept if some one has time to help me quickly i guess i have no option than formating and reinstall all
Thanks anyway
