An administrator account should be used when it is necessary to keep people from taking over specific areas. For example, playing "security" can be done using an administrative account.
It is necessary for you to be the administrator of your PC or else you will not be able to install specific programs or change settings. Only create a limited account for other users who constantly change the settings of the PC
Windows XP will not change an administrator account to limited if it is the only administrator account on the system (other than the account named Administrator).
Typically the administrator account only shows on the welcome screen when there is no other user defined. Once a new user is created, the administrator account becomes hidden, but still accessible. You're guest account should be able to be turned off, provided you have administrator rights.
Once they have their letter of authority, they should be able to access the account. Then they can change the account.
You can change administrator's password by a few easy steps.1. Open the Start menu and click on "Run..."2. Type "cmd" and click enter.3. Type "net user (admin name) *Where it says (admin name) you should type the administrator's name. Make sure you type a space and then a *.4. It should ask you to type a password. Just type enter if you want no password.It should then ask you to confirm. Re-type what you just typed.5. There you are. Log out of your account, and their password should be changed/gone. Now go onto their account, go to "User Accounts" and make yourself an administrator.6. GET SUSPENDED
Sometimes programs only install on the administrator account.
Yes and no. In Windows, there is actually only one account named "Administrator". However you can add extra accounts with total "Administrator privileges". Most of the time, unless you specify a restricted account, any account added under an administrator account has the exact same privileges as the administrator. Other operating systems may differ from this. I am only referring to the popular Windows operating system.
On Windows 7 you must have at least one administrator account at all times. If your main account is a standard account, that's fine, but you must also keep an administrator account. In fact, it is recommended that people use a standard account for everyday use and only use an administrator account when needed (for example if you're going to install or uninstall any programs). You canNOT install/uninstall programs with a standard account, and there are lots of other things that you cannot do with a standard account, which is why at least one administrator account is needed. Just use a password that you can remember for the administrator and don't give it to anyone.
Go to user account on the control panel. You should either see it or be able to change it if you are the administrator. Which, if you are the only user of the computer, you should be.
The computer needs at least one account with full privileges in order to allow the installation of software. By default, the computer will come with such an account - the default administrator account. Since the account has full privileges it really needs to be protected such that only someone who is supposed to have full privileges on the machine can access it. The protection comes in the form of password protecting the account.
Yes, but only install on an administrator account.
Yes. But only if you are logged in under the 'Administrator' account. Simply having an account with administrative privileges will Not work. You need to enable the Administrator account to be shown on the login screen (read up on the net on how to do this) then log into that account and run the program. Will work fine.
