I have a 4 computer home network. How can I change which computer is the administrator?

Can your new computer access any of the other network computers?\n\nIt could be something simple like a firewall making the laptop  unaccessable by other computers. Pull your network off the internet, but leave the network active. Drop all your protection, firewalls, antivirus, etc and check again.\n\nIf you are running higher-end antivirus they have something like "internet security" that will really mess with a LAN.\n\nIf you can see the laptop on the network, but can't access it - I would begin by looking into the laptop security and permissons.

1. Connect both laptop and computer at your router using 2 network cable.\n2. Power on the router.\n3. Go to My computer icon on desktop.\n4. Right click and select properties.\n5.

Restart your computer...\n\nHit F8 immediatly when it reboots.\n\nWhen you see the advanced menu, choose SAFE MODE, NOT SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING\n\nOnce you see the startup screen, login to the ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT, \n\nYou will see 2 accounts, yours and ADMINISTRATOR...\n\nAdministrator is a hidden account, login to it...\n\nOnce logged in, click START, CONTROL PANEL, USER ACCOUNTS...\n\nFind your ACCOUNT and REMOVE THE PASSWORD FROM IT...\n\nTHEN RECREATE A NEW PASSWORD FOR IT...\n\nonce that is done, ALSO CREATE A PASSWORD FOR THE ADMIN ACCOUNT YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN...\n\nThis will disable whatever he is doing...\n\n\nafter that restart, enter your password, login...\n\ngo to http://www.ewido.com and download it, install it, update it, and run a full scan, remove all that it finds...

First of all, you'll have to be or get the "administrator"(owner) of your machine to make the adjusts for you. If you're the administrator, go to the control panel, User Accounts folder, and click on your particular user name,,You'll see the area where you make the necessary changes. Hope this helps, Larry RadioShack 01-9590

No. If you're using a network workstation, then talk to the network administrator.

You need to go into the settings. This is different for many laptops and computers but there should be an autoconnect field or something like that. Delete all of the entries but the router(s) that u want to use.

if you didnt set one up, there probably isnt one.\nif there is you could try the defaults \n-admin\n-administrator\nif that doesnt work, you can reset it trough a command-line based utility.\n\nhttp://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Why don't you just change it via the GUI, and not the CMD prompt. 127.0.0.1 is trying to connect to your machine, from your machine. What's the point?

go to control panel and go to user accounts section. change your user to a admin.

run the network setup wizard, and when it asks at the end, make the setup disk, then run the setup on the other computer and the stteing will match

You could be Administrator as well mind, me and my sister both are.\n\n1. Start > Setttings > Control Panel\n2. Click on User Accounts\n3. Click "Change An Account"\n4. Click on your account\n5. Click on "Change My Account Type"\n6. Select Computer Administrator\n\nAs the above you can do the same for your dad on step 6 change it to Limited (Providing you know his password, if he has one)

The first thing you have to do is create a new limited account.  Not an administrators account and make sure you password protect the administrators account.  Have the users you do not wish to make changes on the computer use the new limited account (and keep the password a secret).\n\nXP Pro has a tooll called Local Security Settings that will allow you make changes to your system. Click Start > Run, type secpol.msc > Enter.\n\nUnder Local Policies click User Rights Assignment. Right-click the policies you want to change, choose Properties and select which access rights.

1.First of all find out from the Network admin, if this is possible...If so, ask how it can be done. He or she is the best bet
