If, as OP states, the Administrator account has been removed from the Administrators group, it's likely that this won't work. It depends (and I can't remember this off the top of my head) on whether or not the Administrator group has security privileges independent of its membership in the Administrators group, and if it does, that any malware hasn't also removed those privileges. As I said, better to either boot from a USB drive or remove the hard drive and mount it in another machine to do your work.

Hello Joe, Please try the following: Log into the machine as an administrator and temporarily remove the user's profile and save it somewhere like inside of the share drive. Download Malwarebytes and update and scan the machine for malware. You can also do this step in safe mode.

The user logged off the machine to go to lunch. When she returned she was unable to logon and the machine displayed an error stating that the machine had lost the trust relationship with the domain. 2. The local administrator account has been removed from the local administrators group. 3. When the network cable was unplugged, the keyboard and mouse quit functioning. Admittedly, I'm new to malware hunting. But to me, this behavior is suspicious. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
