Unable to enroll fingerprints for the Win7 built-in Administrator account

In Windows 7 I tried to enroll fingerprints for the built-in Administrator account, but doing so failed every time with the error message The enrollment could not be completed.
I could not find a solution online and the Validity software was working just fine, as there were no issues with other users on the same system. As a work-around, I created another account with administrator privileges and enrolling the fingerprints worked just fine. My guess is that the permissions for the built-in Administrator account are different from any administrator account you can create yourself. What I noticed is that any self created account is part of the Users group, and that the built-in Administrator account is not part of this group. I'm not sure, but maybe this is the cause of the problem.
Anyway, I thought I would share my experience here, in case anyone else encounters the same problem.

same issue in build 10049.
It would help to be more specific in the symptom description. E.g. using Narrator may help. (Win-Enter). Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is. BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

Factory set password for Windows Vista built-in administrator account?

I am attempting access the Vista built-in administrator account, which normally is not passworded unless the user does so. Mine, however, has a password that was set 11/20/2010 at 9:57:24 PM.
Was this p/w set by Toshiba? I assume so, as it was purchased directly from Toshiba. If so, any idea what that p/w would be? I need to use this account to recover my own admin account due to this error: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
Machine is a Satellite P300 S/N 29020124W, Part # PSPC8U-01G00Q.

No. But some programs like the Google Updater (if you added the Google Toolbar, Chrome or Google Earth) have been known to cause this problem.

Errors with SharePoint Security Token Service: "The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate"

I'm getting these errors in the eventlog and ULS, "An operation failed because the following certificate has validation errors:\n\nSubject Name: CN=SharePoint Security Token Service, OU=SharePoint, O=Microsoft, C=US\nIssuer Name: CN=SharePoint Root
Authority, OU=SharePoint, O=Microsoft, C=US\nThumbprint: <STS CERTIFICATE THUMBPRINT>\n\nErrors:\n\n RevocationStatusUnknown: The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate."
The errors point to the SharePoint Security Token Service as the issue ("The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate") reported back by the Topology service. This is apparent when executing a search, accessing
the managed metadata service, issuing SPSite commands in Powershell, or anything that needs to run through the "SharePoint Web Services" site. I've looked at the certificate assigned to that site and everything appears to be in order.
It would seem to me to be either an incorrect endpoint configuration (internally cached perhaps?) or related to security access for the configuration database (in order to validate the certificate root).
What I’ve tried so far:
I’ve been all over the certificate settings, both in the server store, and within SharePoint Token Service config. Both appear to be configured correctly such that the root CAs can be validated.
Re-entered the passwords for the application pool domain accounts to eliminate these as a potential cause. I’ve also verified the service accounts reporting the error, do have access to the configuration database.
Re-provisioned the STS service to see if that might clear out any cached issues and validated everything else according to this
MS Tech note.
So far nothing has worked. Is there anything else I could be looking at that I've missed? (Full eventlog detail below)

Hi Darren,
This problem seems to occur when an administrator deletes the local trust relationship of the farm from the Security section of the Central Administration website
In order to resolve this problem, the local trust relationship has to be created. This can be done by running the following PowerShell commands
$rootCert = (Get-SPCertificateAuthority).RootCertificate
New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name "localNew" -Certificate $rootCert
After running the above commands, perform an IISReset on all servers in the farm.

I need some recomendations plz.

Hello,
you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

Generally when you get the resource in use error logging out or rebooting will take care of it. When a file just absolutely refuses to delete try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the left shift key after the computer restarts) and then empty the trash.

After enabling the Built-in Administrator account, it is not shown on Welcome screen

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Starter SP1.
I have previously successfully enabled and then logged on, to the built-in administrator account, and then when I had finished using it, disabled it again.
Unfortunately today, I found that when I enabled the built-in administrator account, it no longer appears on the Welcome screen.
I went through the process of enabling it by doing:
Start/Search "CMD"/right-click CMD/Run as administrator.
net user administrator active:yes
It confirms: "The command completed successfully."
However, when I log off and log back on (or do shut down and restart), the Welcome screen does not display any option for the Built-in Administrator account.
I have also tried doing the above in Safe mode, and also using Command Prompt from a Rescue disk.
As background information:
The reason why I wanted to access this account today, was because I attempted to defrag a partition listed as "(1% fragmented)" and after Defrag appeared to complete while at "Pass 2", the partition is still shown as 1% fragmented.
I would appreciate advice how to resolve the issue with the built-in administrator account.
Regards,
Robert339

Hello Niki Han,
Thank you for your response. I have not yet had an opportunity to look into what you have written but wish to thank you for that information.
Meanwhile, I would like to discuss the possible cause for this issue. I know the date when I last successfully accessed the built-in Administrator account, which was April 18, 2012.
Since I was last able to use that account on April 18, 2012, I have made no changes to the system other than install all Important Microsoft Updates through Windows Update.
A full scan with Windows Defender finds no threats.
A full scan with Avast finds no threats.
I beleive Microsoft may wish to ensure that this issue has not been caused by any of the following 30 updates. If it has been caused by one of these updates, then Microsoft should consider issuing a further update to correct this.

I have seen your thread "Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed" and provided a reply.

Enabling Windows Server 2008 R2 Built-In Administrator Account

The properties box for my Windows Server 2008 R2 built-in administrator program says the account is disabled. Even the primary user account has virtually no priveliges. How can I, with a mere primary user account available at logon, enable
the built-in administrator account, or otherwise grant my primary user account administrator priveliges? Windows Server 2008 R2 denies my primary user account access/permission for nearly all changes to accounts, programs and OS features.

In some of the organisations, default admin accounts on member servers are purposefully locked/disabled through group policy for security reasons.
If you know the password for locked out/disabled admin account then there is a possibility of unlocking/re-enabling the account without using any third party tools.
To do that,
Restart the server
Press F8 and select Safe Mode Without
Networking
Log on to the server with locked out/disabled admin account with its password.
If you could successfully log on to the server then you will have option to unlock and enable the built-in admin account !
Most of the downtime's are caused because of SysAdmin's curiosity ! - Santosh

Built-in administrator account

Dear All,
I was searching for the best way to secure the Built-in Administrator account on Active Directory and found the below two options suggested from Mircosoft. I would appreciate your help in recommending the best option:
1. rename account

2. disable its access

Hi,
I would say renaming the account and generate a strong password would be a good choice.

Aperture 3.5.1 suddenly unable to render images for the external plugins?

Today when I started to create HDR images using the Photomatix plugin, the dialog: 'Editing Error This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format.' appeared. The exact same set of images was processed by the exact same plugin yesterday. Subsequently I tried editing the images with other plugins receiving the same error message. Similarly I was unable to use Photoshop as the external editor on the images. I also reimported the images with the same results. Might I add that Aperture is perfectly able to export the images as TIFF files. It would appear that my copy of Aperture is no longer able to work with plugins. How is this possible when nothing else has changed?

Thanks. Yah, been messing around and found it. Didn't realise it was IPTC data so I never hit the drop down to see what was under it. Dropped one clanger in that I deleted the Copyright Notice from the dropdown as I didn't want to find it stamped it twice as all the images get it on import. Because I deselected it though, it actually deleted what was there. Easy enough to fix of course but, IIRC if you select the Lift / Stamp to lift all the keywords, I seem to recall it stamps them again if you inadvertently re-stamp an image you've already done.
I try to keep this as uncomplicated as possible, could never decide whether to go with title or caption, I guess it matters neither way, unless doing this professionally in which case I guess there are IPTC conventions.

Unable to generate statistics for the table

I have got a staging table of more than 600 columns which has got range portioning. Size of the table is 4GB. The average size of the row is around 3 MB. I have created a Functional index on one of the column ABC VARCHAR2(50) and it has only number values. Now when I try generating statistics for this table through ANALYZE or DBMS_STAT, it gives Invalid Number error but when I drop this index and try analyzing, it works.
Executed TO_NUMBER(ABC) query on the table and it works fine.
I have got Functional Indexes on other tables also but I don't get such problem with those tables. I tried dropping the index and re-creating it but it didn't work out.
I was suspecting DATA BLOCK CORRUPTION so checked ALERT LOG and TRACE FILES but found nothing.
So what is this magic called?

I am using TO_NUMBER on the column.
I have checked the MetaLink for the same problem but could not find anything on that. I still suspect datafile error which I am unable to get in ALERT LOG or TRACE FILES. So I am going to try it this way:
1) Create new Tablespace with New Datafile
2) Transfer the table from existing Tablespace to new Tablespace
3) Create the functional index in the same new Tablespace
4) Try generating the statistics.
5) If it works then create seprate Tablespace for data and Index.
Hope it works !!
Thanks for the reply guys.

I can't use my fingerprint for the App Store?

I tried re setting it again but couldn't.
I also read that i have to change the "Restrictions" to 15 minutes for the password, but i don't have that option available.
What can I do?

It isn't clear from your question whether you weren't able to enable Touch ID for the store or if it is not recognizing your fingerprint when you use it. The following link has a section related to Touch ID for the store that may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
