Why Windows asked for a password to steam?

I have install parental control in Windows 8 on the laptop of my children.  It will solve so many problems, and help me to monitor my children.  They have standard user accounts and access to all applications and games to 10 +.  However, at the opening of steam (to execute terrariums) they ask an administrator password.  Steam has been set to run as administrator (rt click, properties, advanced, run as administrator) both shortcuts and program.  Help, please!

Hi Cheryl,

Given that you have activated parental control programs, please try to run the program without using the administrator level. This should run the program using the current account balance and would prevent asking administrator password. Please follow these steps:

1. right click on the shortcut or menu item.

2. Select Properties.

3. go to the compatibility tab.

4. click on the change settings for all users.

5. uncheck the run this program as an administrator.

6 do it again to the program itself.

Please let us know if that would work.

Thank you!

    Also, I tried to log in after you have set a password using ERD Commander (locksmith). I get the same result, that is to say Windows log off after entering the password.

    If you do not know the password of the router, then chances are good that you will need to reset it to the factory settings. Google your model and you should be able to find the instructions.

    Hello

    If you have another administrator account, you can log in with that account and change the password of the account where you have forgotten the password.

    If you do not have another administrator account, you can use a password reset disk, if you have created a.

    If you do not have one of these options, your best solution is to take the computer to a local computer repair shop and ask them to retrieve the password for you.

  • When you try to restore my iPod nano 7th generation what it asks for a password how to find / get around it?

    MY 7th generation nano has his music to wipe and start again.  I tried to restore it in the air several times because it won't let me not in reason to ask for a password to allow this. the password is not my iTunes password. can anyone help? I use an iMac.

    Once the iPod appears in iTunes, it shouldn't be a problem with a password for an iPod nano 7th generation.  If you see a window pop up asking for a password, I think that it is a request for authorization from the Mac OS.  It is not directly related to the iPod or iTunes.  He asks your password for the account of the user admin (for Mac), as when you install the new software.

  • Mail does not ask for new password after change

    I had to change the password for my email account based on Yahoo (sbcglobal dot) net because the hack/spam. It's the second time in 6 months, and I'm having the same problem that took place the last time. After changing the password through webmail interface for the account and which confirms that change has gone through by a disconnection and return again on webmail with the new password, I estimated that the Mail on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.11.4) app so the Mail on my 5 c iPhone iOS app are still happier never to communicate with Yahoo Server , sending and receiving mail, despite never forces me to put the new password.

    This is obviously less annoying than the problem where Mail asks password constantly, it should not all too obviously work in this way. If one of these devices were lost or stolen, I know now that I could not get this email account by changing the password. Apple support tell me that deleting and then reinstalling the account in Mail should solve this problem, but *? I won't be able to do if a device is never lost/stolen. Something is clearly abnormal in the way Mail communicates with this Yahoo Server and Apple needs to fix this on their end!

    OK, I'm a monumental fool, apparently, but so are at least half a dozen Apple Support "geniuses."

    I have iCloud active keychain. Therefore, this behavior is expected. Keychain passes the new password information to both the MacBook and the iPhone instantly after that I changed it on the MacBook via the webmail interface. No Mail app should ask for the password, because they already have through keychain.

    So I feel very stupid, but then again I am not a geek, and I'm not paid to know these things. What is their excuse? Why zero agents Support of Apple knew it was happening, or think to ask about it? Why was their first step to remove, then reconnect the account, which took me less than an hour from the last time I did, apparently unnecessarily? Honestly, one wonders if anyone knows how to do their job more.
