How do you get past system error 5?

Answer 1

Ok, so let's start from the beginning. System Error 5 occurs when an unauthorized user tries to do something in command prompt that's gonna effect your computer. For example, if I were a standard user on Windows and tried to do "net user", my access would be denied. Here is what it would look like...

C:/User/Owner>net user Nathan *

Type in a new password for the user:

Retype the password to confirm:

System Error 5 has occured

Access is denied.

This would be because I wouldn't be an Administrator, thus unauthorized. There is no way to get around it in my research, your only hope is to become and administrator or get the rights to run it as an administrator.

You can do more research if you want to learn how to make yourself an administrator.
