Hi Wazua.

I am now unable to use my admin account as I get error message of access denied.
The computer security tab cant assist reverse the action.
I also tried using the safe mode to solve it all in vain.
The Admin account now gives a blank screeen on login.
I cant download attachment from my email.

Kindly assist.

The question is how did you try to "limit access to my laptop drives'?

@Ikenya,

A pal requested to use my laptop for some time, since I had some sensitive data in one of my drives, I decide to limit access of the drive by use of file sharing option.

On trying to access the laptop drive C, i now get an error of access is denied.
My cursor has also be affected as it keeps still and hence am forced to shut down.

Pls assist

@ilikeyou: If you are using Windows XP, download the linux chntpw utility from here:
http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
burn the utility into a bootable DVD/CD, enter bios and change the booting sequence to start with DVD/CD drive, load the burned DVD/CD and boot to load the utility. Follow instructions on the prompt. The utility overrides the local admin password and sets a new one, the one you define. You will regain your admin account, and hopefully you can reset permissions on your drive.

If you use the utility wrongly you can damage your system. The last time I used it was on XP, don't know if it works on Windows 7. Good luck

if you can access the window explorer where you see the icons for different drives, right click on the drive you wish to access >properties >security>advanced> here you could either change the owner or edit permissions.

log out and log in again.

i could email you the procedures in paint if this doesn't help.
