I am writing a vba script for a standard user to run a program in elevated mode. Is there a way to program in the administrative password?ie..elevate "cmd /k mkdir "newfolder"The goal is to enable the standard user to create a new subfolder within a directory they don't have permission to do so as standard user.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis probably is not new to many, but I find it useful.There are times I want an elevated command prompt. I usually type in "cmd", right click on it and run as administrator. If you need an elevated command prompt now and then, simply create a shortcut to "cmd". Right click on the shortcut, left click on properties. Click the shortcut tab and select "advanced". Finally, you can select "run as administrator".Like I said, just something I didn't think about before, but it's handy to have.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using a SSH server to remotely access my notebook from work. It works well for SFTP and remote command line access using a dedicated, non-admin, user account.Problem is when I want to run something that requires admin permission under that connection. The server runs cmd.exe under the context of a non-admin user I've created for it, so I'm limited in what I can do. Question is, how can I "elevate" that remote command prompt to execute admin-only programs and commands? UAC of course will not help under that conditions.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any programmatic way within a BATch file of determining whether it has been started from an elevated command prompt (run as Administrator) or a normal command prompt? I note the difference between the Current Directory at start of the BATch file, but wonder if there is a better way. When in elevated mode I don't get a UAC prompt when using DISKPART. The UAC prompt only happens when running it in a normal command prompt window.
Are you aware of any command which simultaneously would give a different errorlevel when executed in an elevated command prompt than in a normal command prompt, and not produce a UAC prompt in normal mode? If this is the case, unless I can find something to distinguish between elevated command prompts and normal command prompts, then I will have to try the %cd% variable at the start of BATch files, to see whether it is consistent even across user modifications of the command prompt shortcut's Target Directory...
I was on the internet this morning and suddenly I lost connection to the internet, I'm connected by ethernet so I tried a different cord and it wouldn't recognize anything, that there was a connection what so ever. So I restored to a previous date assuming the new update, as usual, screwed my laptop up. Same issue happened, but then this time as administrator I cant run chkdsk, tells me access is denied and that I don't have sufficient privileges, even though I am the administrator and only user on the laptop. Also troubleshooting things, anything, it can't continue due to an error, it the details of the error it used to say Restricted but now it says Elevated, like the chkdsk thing as well which mentions that I have to invoke the utility running in elevated mode. My internet after shutting down is back but I'm still confused.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the past, I have had to use the built-in Administrator account to install Microsoft's virtualization software and install Windows XP Mode (I don't know why it wouldn't install before, I even disabled UAC with failed results). In order to do this, I enabled the Administrator account via Command Prompt, as recommended by a tech support specialist I used the command "net user administrator /active yes" and the Admin account was active, I installed the program, disabled the Administrator account, and went on my merry way.
It is now about a year later and after I have created a system image of my computer (I only made one because I do not have enough sufficient storage to make multiple ones, or even replace my current one) I have found out that there is an issue with command prompt or something... I unfortunately do not know. I had to reactivate the Administrator account for one reason or another and did my business, but after I reactivated it I came to find that the same command to activate the Administrator account... Changed its password. I used a Linux Live CD with Ophcrack to find out that the password for my Admin account was changed to "yes". And after I tried to disable the account, INSTEAD of it being disabled, the password was set to "no" hence "net user administrator /active no". I decided to experiment on the matter with other accounts, and typing in other words besides "yes" or "no" and I found that the net user command will change the password of any account. This is disturbing to me and also, I would like to easily enable or disable any account without changing any passwords.
I have forgotten my admin password. I was wondering if there was any possible way to delete or change my password from the Guest account? It's quite important that i get back to my admin account.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased a new HP laptop which included Windows 7 � Home & Premium. I did the install, however, I do not remember during the install asking me to create the Administrator ID along with a password. I did create the Recovery Disks, but have not yet rebooted. When is the Administrator�s ID created? I do remember seeing an ID that may have been the default Administrator ID (Rick-PC). But I don't remember typing a password. If so, what are my options to either create an Administrator ID and a password? Or if it was created, can I find out what the password was or change it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have forgotten my Administrator password. I have tried a couple of the free password crackers, but no luck. Also tried the command net user, with no luck; I get the "Access Denied" message whenever I try this. I've looked at a lot of the threads here, but they all seem to be just a little bit different. All I have access to is this other user profile, and I can't install anything on it without the Admin password. I have the Windows DVD, and have tried a boot repair, but it tells me that the OS is booting correctly (which it is). Where to from here ? It's wasted a helluva lot of time, and I just seem to be going round in circles. How can I give this profile I am using Admin rights ? Don't seem to be able to do anything without the Admin password.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 Home Premium, 32bit. I used System Tools and did a Disk Cleanup. However, when I tried to boot it up after the process, it asked for my Administrator Password. Why we have to have an Administrator User Account, I have no idea--especially when you can't get into it. I don't remember putting a password on for the Administrator Account. I have another User Account that I can get on the computer with, but I have pictures, videos, documents, etc. on the Administrator Account that I now cannot recover. Is there anything I can do, other than reinstalling Windows?
