I was having problems getting alert sounds to play on my BI computer and I read somewhere to uncheck run as local windows service. I knew better but I did it anyway, restarted the program and all cameras came back up with no signal, and the program would shut down after about 30sec. When I tried to go back and check run as windows service it wants a administrator log in which I have not used. Always ran as "Local Console". So I added another user and gave it administrative permission and created a new user name and password. It still will not let me changed anything says administrative credentials are wrong can't be blank (1326) Anyone know who to fix this?
 
I presume that the account you normally login to windows with is an administrative user, do you use a password or does it start up directly to the desktop, are you logging into windows with a PIN or a Microsoft account?

This is something I used awhile back, not sure if it applies to your problem or not:

If unable to sign into a service:

Local Security Policy (under windows administrative tools - windows tools in windows 11)
Local Policies
User Rights Assignment
Log on as a service
Right click -Properties
Add User or Group

Well now, don"t I feel stupid. You were absolutely right! The only password I did not try was my windows log in and pin. Once I entered that, it started working again and the cameras all came back on. Thanks Bruce!

Well don't feel bad, I am sure that this has happened to a lot of us at some point, it is just part of the life long learning curiculum! Now you can help someone else when they get stuck!

FWIW, even if Windows 10 or 11 was set up with a Microsoft account and no matter if it's not the Professional version you can change it from a MS account to a local account and get rid of having to mess around with MS. I've done a couple of dozen just in the past couple of years. Your PC will run faster without all the tracking crap going on with MS.

I dislike Microsoft just a little less than a thief.....:mad:
