Administrator is dead ?

N

Newbie

Hello,
Probably somebody tried to kill the administrator account:
The Administrator account is almost dead : it doesn't belong anymore to any
group (It doesn't belongs to the Administrator group!)
It can't access to any Category. It has not any permission.
All its "Modify the User" page is greyed out.
By Easter time, is it possible to raise the Administrator from the dead ?
How could i do that?
Thanks for your inspiration

Newbie --

What do you mean by "The Administrator account is almost dead?" Please
describe the exact problems you are having with this account.

You need to know that by default, the built-in Administrator account is not
a member of any Groups, contains only the My Organization category, and all
permissions are grayed out so that you cannot change them. Therefore, from
your description, it sounds like you are seeing the default behaviors of the
system.

Dale,

It can't access to any Category in the Category list. It has not any
permission in the permission list!

Thanks for the explanation. Out of curiosity, did someone delete the My
Organization category by chance? If so, that would cause the behavior you
see. Let us know.

I will watch to see if this get's solved but I have a way to ressurect the
current Admin account or to take any PWA user and grant GodLike Privilages,,,
HHUUUMMMWWAAAA kidding, no really I do. You will need direct login access
or Remote access to the SQL Server with at least edit access, you could use
the service account or the install accounts to fix this.
