I'm an administrator, but some things still need permission from the admin

original title: administrator...

So, it's my computer... and I've updated from Windows XP. Well, I'm the only person who uses this computer and I am the administrator. Well, the account says I'm an administrator, but for some things, the only example I can think of is using the tool of Spybot 'Vaccination', says it requires the permission of the administrator to run completely. I don't understand what is happening, and I'm not good with the Control Panel, so I need help before playing with things and maybe screwing everything up, lol.

This is perfectly normal.  By design, even administrative accounts do not roll with full administrative privileges at all times.  This is one of the most important security features of Windows 7, called User Account Control (UAC).  It helps to ensure that, when running as administrator, nothing can "sneak by" and changes to the system that the user is not aware.

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

    Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

    Hello

     
    A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network, then it blocks or allows it to pass through your computer, depending on your firewall settings.
    A firewall can help prevent hackers or malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers.
    A firewall is not the same thing as an antivirus program. To help protect your computer, you need a firewall and an antivirus and anti-malware program.

    Norton 360 from Symantec's all-in-one security service that protects your computer and your data against today's Internet threats.
     
    Norton 360 can be functioning as an antivirus, firewall, or offer according to your settings.
     
    We recommend that you only have an antivirus and a firewall on your computer, the choice of what antivirus or firewall is yours.

  • Win 7 - I am administrator but some applications that I'm not?

    Hello

    I have had a Toshiba C660 for a couple of years now and have found that some things are blocked for me, as the face recognition software, even if I'm the only one registered user and I have all administrator privileges.

    When I try to open this software, it appears with a message saying that I don't have permission to perform this task and to contact my administrator. I can't open the webcam app and use it in other applications, such as Skype.

    Does anyone know how I can reset it and fix it or work around it?

    Thank you very much

    Really logged as administrator?
    I mean that there is an administrator in the Win 7 OS account.
    You can enable it using the procedure:

    You must start the console CMD (DOS-like black box) in run type CMD
    Then new window will open.
    Here you have to type the following command.

    + net user administrator / active: yes +.

    Usually, you should see a message that the command completed successfully. Logout now and you will now see the administrator account.
    You can use it to connect to the system as a real administrator
