Run A Program At Startup Without Using An Admin Password
Jan 17, 2009
I have a minor technical question I would love help on. I have the UAC on and log in as a standard user for protection. There are a few programs that I would like to run automatically when windows starts that require a password EVERY time I start windows, or if I select them manually. Is there any reason certain programs due to their permissions need an admin password to run and other don't?
I could not find the difference looking in the security section of properties comparing it with a program that runs as an admin. HELP! I would like to run these programs automatically as windows boots without typing in the admin password for each program.
I am attempting to setup Homegroup for first time on new computer, I was asked to set a password. The first pw was only 7 letters. It was rejected as requiring 8 letters. Attempted to re-enter new password and program states its the wrong password.When I go to the homegroup page there is no link to see and change password.
Not sure if it was a virus, spyware, or hacker, but something wiped out all of the passwords in windows 7 professional. I am signed in with a standard user account with no password. I've attempted to use different software such as <software name removed>, and password pro to retrieve passwords, but neither of them can find the SAM or any accounts with passwords. This system is on a peer to peer network and is being used as the server. Is there anything I can do to get admin rights back and get logged in as the administrator?
ok so i was messing around in the control prompt (cmd) menu and i came across the password change option. i didnt think i changed it but apparently i did. no i cannot log on to my user account which is administrator. i have no reset disc and no other acount. what can i do?
A techie friend set up my son's mini notebook which has Windows 7. I failed to write down my Admin password, so now I cannot add software, etc. Can someone please give me an easy way to fix this problem. I did read some other threads and tried to restart the computer, press F8 and proceed in safe mode but it did nothing
I just bought this computer from someone off craigs list and I cant access the admin password. I don't have a cd to download windows. How can I bypass it?
Machine has Windows 7 Ultimate. I recently changed the hard drive. When I went boot, the screen displayed "Enter Password ". This machine has never had a password and I am at a loss as to what is wrong. This machine has previously been running well for over six months. Any HD that I substitute (I've tried four) has the same result.
The problem is that I had setup a domain on my laptop and then changed to home computer on windows 7 machine. It gave me a message that changes will come to effect after restart the machine, which I did. When it restarted it is asking me for admin password, which I don't remember and docent allow me to change the userid so that I can log back ( it shows admin I'd on the screen which I can't change).
Now I can't log back and have lot of important stuff on my laptop , don't want to reinstall and don't have a reset cd also

When my partner set up my brand new PC he set up an account in my name, so there are now two accounts on the machine, Admin and Mine. I can use my account for most daily things, but I need to be the Administrator because I don't have rights to do some stuff. Problem is he's forgot the Admin password .... so I can't log in as the Admin. What can I do? How do I change this password?
I restarted my computer because it was acting slow and funny. when i tried to log in to my account the password didnt work anymore. i ended up just rebooting my whole computer. seems to work fine now.
i changed my admin password and have forgot it i have heard you need to reinstall windows 7 i don't have a recovery disk i want to know if there is any other way of recovering the password?
I recently changed the password of my admin account on my computer but when I then tried to log in with the new password it didn't work, i even tried my old and it didn't work either. I also have a guest account which i can access without any password. Is there any way to solve this problem from the guest account, without having to reinstall the whole windows? By the way, I don't have admin privileges on the guest account and I'm running Windows 7 x32 if someone wonders.
Windows 7 x 64 "run as admin" password won't work, when right click on an installer, however if I log out I can log in as admin with the same password? It was working recently as right click on app tried updating the pw in the admin account to a new pw, back in user account, same thing.
Recently, I've changed my admin password and forgot already what I had typed. Now, I'm using the guest account and do not know what should I do to restore back the password as in the guest account many things can not do! So, what should I do now to restore back or to get back into my admin account?
i have an acer laptop and changed my password and work fine till i tried to restored my computer to an earlier date after which now i cannot sign in as the admin says my password is invalid.
When I try to run certain programs they say the need to be run as an adminstrator and fail to execute properly. The thing is I'm running them as an administrator. build 7000 64 bit.
I need to give a standard user (non-admin user) rights to run a program that requires admin rights, without giving the said user actual admin rights or disabling the uac. This particular program starts/stops services so I would probably also need this user to be able to do so.Basically I'm trying to install an AMP stack (apache, mysql, php) for a standard user, but he is unable to use it because the stack requires admin rights to start/stop the apache and mysql services. And I don't wanna give this user admin privileges just to be able to use this program.The program is installed on the C: root and I've already given this user directory read/write/execute to the programs directory. I can confirm that this works since the user can read or modify the files within this directory.I have tried the Task Scheduler run as admin trick but it runs the program under the admin's desktop and not the current user's desktop url...I also tried the MS Application Compatibility uac "bypass" trick which does let the user run the program but refuses to start the required services for the lack of admin rights url...
We are a small business with a number of field workers who are out and about all the time. The will need to pick up new connections at hotels and the like, but every time they want to add a new wifi connection they are required to put in the Administrator Password.My question is, is it possible to turn this off, so that they can add whatever network connection they want but still keep the admin password for adding new programmes and the like.
I recently created a password and have regretfully forgotten it. I have no windows 7 disk and no other users on my laptop. I have not setup any password reset options i.e. system restore disk etc.
How can I restore my computer or just change my password?
I have Windows 7 32-bit(official RTM, clean install) only 1 account on it which of course is Admin.Sometimes when I press the Windows button + l to lock the screen and come back after a few minutes, enter the password but Windows 7 reports it as wrong password all the time. I have had the same password for 3 years so I know for sure I entered it correctly all in lower case. Also, if I deliberately try to enter a wrong password when my normal one doesn't work, I get the white round circle indicating that its being processed. Then after like 3 minutes, Windows 7 reports it as being the wrong password (the correct behavior from Windows 7 would have been to reject the the wrong password immediately).So I have to do a manual shutdown as it's the option left. I have tried to reinstall Windows 7 many times but this problem just keeps happening randomly.
I kind of miss the XP OS setup where it makes you assign the admin password during setup. Am I missing the place to do that in a Windows 7 setup or is it just done after the install?
I am trying to set it up so I can use remote assistance for a Win7 Home PC and the user not have to know the admin password to allow it. I am trying to look down a teens PC so they have to go to me for installs.
But it seems when I try to do RA they have to know the admin password at the actual computer, is there anyway to make it so RA does not prompt for it?
