Best Answer

If you are on a managed system, a system on a network controlled by a management server using groups and security profiles, you cannot bypass administrative priveledges. If you are on your home system you may be able to give yourself administrative priveledges by reloading the system into safe mode and editing your user profile.

What do you mean?

If you mean you want to make changes to the system (eg installing software etc) without the administrators permission, you cannot. However, you can access system files that you would not usually be able to edit/read by booting into the computer using a liveCD
