Your account is disabled when I log into Windows 10, how can I solve that?

Contents

Some Windows users 10 you can find the message “Your account is disabled. Contact the system administrator ", this happens more frequently when logging into we can apply transformations once for the whole cluster and not for different partitions separately your 'Administrator' account, but also other variations are possible. As usual, this message occurs after manipulations associated with the deletion or deactivation of user accounts.

This tutorial details how to fix the problem “Your account is disabled” for Windows accounts 10 on your computer or laptop (in case you are working on a domain in an organization network, you really should contact your system administrator).

Simple solution if you have other accounts with administrator privileges on your computer

The easiest solution method is feasible if you have the ability to log in as another user who has administrator rights in Windows 10 (if there is no such option, you can go directly to the next method). For this case, the steps will be the following:

  1. Login with a different administrator account (regularly, account selection is enabled in the lower left corner of the login screen).
  2. Run the command line as administrator. To do this, you can use windows taskbar search 10: scribe “Symbol of the system” and select “Execute as an administrator” in the right menu, or right-click on the found result and select the desired item.
  3. On the command line, enter the command network user and hit Enter. A list of user names is displayed. You need the username for which the message “Your account is deactivated. Contact your system administrator ", that we will use in the following command.
  4. net username_username / active: Yes

If the command in step 4 is successful, you can close the command line, subsequently log out of your current account and log in with the one that was previously deactivated.

Unfortunately, most Windows home computer users 10 do not have additional accounts from which to perform the above actions and, in some cases, the problem itself can occur after deactivating or deleting a single user account. The following method can help in this situation.

How to correct the message “Your account is disabled” in Windows safe mode 10

In Windows 10, even if there are no other user accounts and the system account “Administrator” built-in is disabled, when entering safe mode, the specified system account that we can use is used:

  1. On the login screen, click the power button at the bottom right and, while holding down the Shift key, click on “Restart”.
  2. Windows Recovery Environment opens. Go to Troubleshooting – Advanced Options – Boot Options and click “Restart”.
  3. On the next screen, press the key 4 or F4 to start in safe mode.
  4. If the problem in question was caused by disabling all accounts, you will see the only account when you enter safe mode: "Administrator" (the integrated system account, disabled by default, but it works in the described situation). You will not have to enter a password to log in.
  5. Once in the account, presione Win + R and write cmd to run command line as administrator.
  6. On the command line, enter the command network user, press Enter and you will see a list of users.
  7. If the user who reported that “Your account is disabled” is present in the list, enter the command
    net user username / active:yes

    and then press Enter.

  8. If no such user exists, you can create a user on the command line and give him admin rights, more about this: How to create a Windows user 10.

Thereafter, just close the command line and restart your computer in normal mode to start the session, the message about the disabled account should not appear.

Additional methods to solve the problem.

If the above alternatives did not solve the problem “Your account is disabled”, the following solutions are possible.

Using restore points

If there are system restore points available, can sometimes contribute to account login issues. You can try the following methods to use the recovery points:

  1. On the login screen, click the power button at the bottom right and, while holding down the Shift key, click on “Restart”.
  2. In the recovery environment, go to “Problem solving” – “Advanced Options” – “Restore system”. If you are asked to select a user in the next step and it is only enabled “Administrator”, select it and do not enter a password, just click “Continue”. If there are restore points, use them.
  3. If the above steps do not allow you to continue with the system recovery start (as an example, password is still required, but it is unknown), you can use a Windows boot disk 10 or a bootable flash drive (will have to be created somewhere on another computer) – start from it.
  4. After booting from the flash drive and choosing the language on the second screen, click on "System Restore" and then proceed in exactly the same way to restore from recovery points (no need to enter username and password).

If this method does not solve the problem either, or no restore points, is there another way to enable disabled administrator account using Windows bootable pendrive 10 (Warning: theoretically, the steps described could have undesirable consequences):

  1. Start your computer or laptop from a bootable Windows flash drive 10 and press Shift + F10 (o Shift + Fn + F10 on some laptops) in the installer. This will open a command line. In the, type regedit and hit Enter.
  2. In the registry editor that opens, highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEand then select “Archive” – “Load bush” on the menu.
  3. Download the file C: {WindowsNsistema32NconfigureSAM from your system and name the loaded bush (different from those already in the registry, as an example offline, which is the one that I will use from now on).
  4. Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEofflineSAMDomainsAccountUsers 00001F4
  5. On the right side of the registry editor, double-click the parameter named F.
  6. In the window that opens, On the line 38, remove the first value 11 and replace it with 10 (double click on 11 on the specified line; once press Delete or Backspace, enter 10), click OK.
  7. Highlight the log section with the specified name (offline in my case), then select File – Download bush in the menu and confirm the download.

After these steps, you will have to restart the computer: the account of “Administrator” built-in should now be enabled, and you should be able to log in with her to work or, even better, to create a normal Windows account 10 instead. of the existing integrated system account.
