Right, so I bought this pc roughly 2 weeks ago 2nd hand, everything was fine until last night when i plugged in an old hard drive. Now when trying to open anything that requires admin permissions (msi afterburner, task manager) it comes up with this message after a few minutes:

"windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions"


I'm the only user on this pc, I'm also logged into the administrator account, if that means anything.


I've tried a few tutorials and guides to no avail, simply because whenever I try to access or change anything the program freezes for roughly 4-5 minutes before closing for "ACCESS IS DENIED"

And yes, I've tried fully resetting the pc or booting into safe mode, the issue is that the password associated with the computer is incorrect and any password I try comes up as invalid, and when going onto the reset password menu it just loads forever.

if you need me to elaborate on anything here just ask, I'm really worried.

Thanks,
Elias.
