I use win 8.1 and I have one user called goksen and it has administrative previliege and also default administrator account is disabled, uac is disabled as you see in control panel picture I can't change to standart account this is normal but in second picture by typing control userpasswords2 in run dialog and properties of user I can change to standart user isn't it problem

the question is if I change second place to standart user how can I gain administrative previliege after

If the user account is originally an administrator account, then Windows 8 will not let you change it to be a standard account unless there is another administrator account already created other than this one.

I think so but someone changed with control userpasswords 2 and did not gain admin previliege after this operationoperation, 

Hi Gken PASLI2,

I agree with S.Sengupta.If there is only one administrator account in this machine ,we can not change its type.

"but someone changed with control userpasswords 2 "
What do you mean by saying "control userpasswords 2"  ?How did you change the account type to standard ?

Best regards

in second picture by typing control userpasswords 2 to run dialog and clicking properties of user then second tab

 I agree with you as you see in first picture you cant select standart user radio button but second picture you can select standart user but I did not continue by clicking okay button in second picture

but somene tried and lost admin previliege in second picture is it right or wrong I dont know

he said to me

Hi Gken PASLI2,

It is a domain environment ,right ?
I didn`t get that option in a work group environment .
In my opinion ,this option is used to authorize the privilages of this account to this machine , it is a normal symptom .We can still use the other domain accounts to login with this machine ,right ?

Best regards

it is not domain enviroment it is standalone computer 

run dialog

control userpasswords2

Hi Gken PASLI2,

I would apoligize for delay in replying .

I have made a tested in my own machine and it shared the same symptom as yours.
Fortunately ,we can perform a system retore to recover the machine to a previous point and it has been proved to work well .You can have a try .

Best regards

I don't have problem I only reported that problem suppose that you don't have any restore point what can we do

Hi Gken PASLI2,

First of all ,I would thank you for your feedback.
From now on ,the only solution I can figure out is to perform a system restore .I have tried to get into the command line mode of the Windows Recovery Environment and it allow me to run "net user administrator /active: yes". But it won`t work.
If you have any good suggestions ,we would appreciate it if you can share it with us .

Best r

no I don't have any suggestion can we say this is bug because we could not change one admin account to standart account without another admin account

There will probably always be a way to remove a user from the Administrators group without having another administrator on the machine. Even if that GUI instituted a check to ensure that the computer had an administrator account, there would still be net localgroup and other means via PowerShell, etc.

As far as the question How do I get elevated permissions from a non-administrative user? goes, you wont find an answer here. Were not going to tell you or post information about how to break into a computer, no matter how honorable your intentions may be.
