Title: PC administration >.<
Post by: Oliver on June 14, 2009, 05:45:27 pm
Is there anyway to bypass the need to be logged on an admin account to install stuff?
The problem is that my mom's computer has an admin who isn't even in Estonia atm (really weird, don't ask).

My mom doesn't have anything against me installing a game on he laptop, but she doesn't know the admin password.

So.... Any way I could install the game without waiting for the guy to return?

Do you have an option "Run as Administrator" when you right-click something?

Boot up safe mode and try to access the 'Administrator' account when the login screen appears.

When you're in the 'Administrator' account, go to the user accounts thing and change the password. It should allow you to reset/change the password without any need of the old password.

Worked for me. D:
