How can I get the username field to automatically populate when asked to enter my credentials for the admin?

I'm under El Capitan version 10.11.5. This is mac from my employer, which they made me an administrator for. On my mac personal home, the user name field is automatically filled in when the box appears asking an administrator user name and password, but on mac from my employer, I have to type at a time, whenever he appears.

I can't find an option in the auto-complete settings and for the mac save my admin username it when you request permissions. Anyone else know how to change this?

Maybe this needs a clarification:

IF you are connected to a user admin "Your Own" account, and you are prompted for an admin password,

Well, your user name will already be pre filled in the user name field, waiting for your own admin password, on the account that you are already connected.

BUT, if another user is connected to their own user account, and a dialog box appears asking an admin password,

Well, this pop-up dialog box will be empty if the current user is not an admin, or pre populated with the user name if the current user is an administrator.

So, NO, I'm not aware anyway to do a random OTHER admin appears automatically in the box pop up when another user is logged on their different user account.  On your personal Mac at home, you are connected to your own account, (most likely, you are the admin), and when a box pop up on your own account is displayed asking admin credentials, your own user name will appear here.

  • How can I get the admin if the Admin is under a guest account?

    I have a laptop Windows 8 and I don't know how to change it so that I can become an administrator under my account. The Admin is assigned to a guest to the site account.

    I tried to connect it to my account of comments and to the administrator of my personal account, but it does not take effect.

    Because this does not work, I made a 3rd account through my personal account to test it (because the guarded guest account says I need internet connection for that) to try to get the Admin for the account of the 3rd. Still does not work. Now, I can't even delete the account of the 3rd.

    I did these steps:

    Control Panel > user accounts > change account Type > switch from Standard to administrator and then click on "change the account type. Then, it comes to the previous screen and no change has been made.

    I had tried this step through the guest account (Administrator) and also my personal account and nothing works.

    Another thing, I tried going under the guest account and system restore, but it refused access. I ALSO tried to refresh PC, delete all and restore windows... .and still access denied.

    If there is no administrator account on the system, you can start safe mode to access the built-in Administrator account.  This integrated security account, you can force-reset security level of your own account.

    1. Press + I to display the menu of charm.
    2. Click the Power Options icon, and then hold down the SHIFT key while you click the Restart option. Keep now shift until the screen shows it restarts.
    3. On the first screen that appears, select troubleshooting, and then select Advanced Options. Finally, choose the boot settings and click Restart.
    4. On the next screen, press the number 4 to choose Safe Mode.

    Now that you are in safe mode, you can use the backup Administrator account built for perform you a necessary recovery. Built in Administrator account should not be used for any other purpose, or it is not available in such situations when you need it.

    1. On the login screen, click on the arrow icon, and then select the administrator account.
    2. After the Safe Mode boot, press on + W and open the control panel / user accounts.
    3. Select manage another account, and then select the account you want to switch to an administrator account.

    When finished, restart the computer normally.

    I think you're GROUND (so outtat chance).

    Generally, you can press F8 or F10 to choose what you want to boot from.  Depends on your system and the manufacturer.  If you can press F10 and select the CD/DVD drive, it should start.  Either that or get into the BIOS and make the CD/DVD the first boot device.

    She still does not start, if the CD is good.

    I hope this helps and good luck
