How "sign as an administrator"

I am trying to download some online backup of Quicken software.  Stop the download and I get a message that says I need to be logged on as administrator in order to proceed.

Download the file (do not "run").

Right-click on the downloaded file and choose "Run as Administrator"

    The computer does NOT prompt you to sign any particular account.
    He simply open a connection with all available accounts screen and the user must specify the logon account.

    The user has an option to configure the computer automatically log on to the user account without going through the login screen.
    BUT, to do that, the user must be administrator or in possession of an admin password.

    You must sign under an administrator account. Here are a few options:

    • Log in under the account that you have invited to create when you started Windows for the first time. This account is an admin account and will remain an administrator account, unless that explicitly downgrade.
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure. This works only if you have activated the account administrator at some stage.

    How to unlock the administrator of vista with the password (I forgot my password)

    ... I forgot my password...

    While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

    The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

    It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

    You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.

    The only advice that I can offer you is either begin to guess what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

  • How to clear the administrative events - Event Viewer log

    Hello:

    Anyone know how to clear the administrative events log listed under custom in the event viewer views?

    All the logs listed in Windows logs do not have options to clear, but the back above.

    Thank you

    ColTom2

    Hey Colonel,

    It is because this isn't 'really' a newspaper, in itself.
    This is a Search of the newspaper (and there is MUCH more that most people know), filtered to show all events in administrative type.
    The source column shows you which newspaper it came from originally.

    To get rid of them, you will need to erase all records.

    If you want to get an idea:
    Go down to the Applications and Services logs, and expand.
    Microsoft, expand it.
    Then Windows.

    Nice list?
    You need to open and delete all. To really delete it.

  • How can I disable administrative privileges on all files in windows 7

    Every time I change laptops, do a reboot of the system or any work on a file, I get locked out my files

    Hi James,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

    I see from the description of the problem, you want to know how to disable the administrator privileges on all files.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    To resolve the issue with deactivation of administrator privileges, I need more information:
    1. what exactly mean you by "I get locked out of my files?
    2. are you logged in as a standard user or administrator?
    3. are you referring to the administrator user ID and quick Email?

    If you are referring to the administrator user ID and quick Email, try the following steps and check if it helps.
    (a) open user account control settings by clicking on Start button.
    (b) then click on Panel.
    (c) in the Search box, type uac, and then click on change User Account Control settings.
    (d) drag the bar of never notify.

    Note: You will not be notified until changes are made to your computer. If logged in as an administrator, programs can make changes to your computer you know on the subject.

    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    See the links for more information.

    Let us know the status of the issue after you perform the troubleshooting steps. If you need additional help or information on Windows, I'll be happy to help you. We, at tender Microsoft to excellence.
