Windows 7 turn off UAC from non-privelaged account

uacwindowswindows 7

i have a bit of a pickle.A few years ago i disabled administrator on my old windows 7 computer and created an admin account of my own. I also set a boot password. The problem is, now i can't access any account except guest, and i also can't access boot menu to boot any conventional cracking tools.

I also can't install anything, due to me being guest.

Is there any way i can disable UAC (user account control for Win7) from this non-privelaged account.

This probably isn't the right place to be posting non-coding related tech problems, but if you could give me a hand that would be great.

Thanks,

What you need to do is either reset your BIOS password or take out the hard drive and put it on another computer. I would recommend resetting the BIOS password in case you need to do something else with it in future.

To reset the BIOS password, try any of the following:

  • the motherboard's manual
  • Google with your motherboard model
  • provide more information in an edit to your question if you really can't find anything.

Once you have access to the hard drive from another operating system, there are many ways to reset the passwords in Windows.

Of course, you do own this computer so there is no problem with dismantling it to reset the BIOS password or remove the hard drive, is there?

And no, there is (should be) no way to bypass Windows' UAC or other security measures without having access to the hard drive from some other operating system. If you would bypass Windows' security from within the OS so easily, we have a pretty big problem.
