you need administrator privileges to make any system changes, which include installing software, log into an administrator account and try again.

I'll try to help you to my best existent.  When your computer starts up press F8 (its above your number keys) Go into safe mode, you don't need a password to get into a administrators account when your in safe mode. Then change your password however you do it in windows 2000, then write it down and restart. Then type it in then your in!\n\nHoped i helped

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)

Have the Administrator give you rights.\n\nIf he won't, hack into his account using BIOS cracking passwords. The link to most is included in sources.

Okay, I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP. Go to start -> Run -> Type in msconfig and hit okay-> then go to the boot.ini tab and hit the selection that says boot in safe mode. exit out and it will ask you to restart. on the reboot it will let u log on to a no password administrator account labeled Administrator, log onto it and got to Start -> Control panel -> Users/accounts or watever it is -> Select your account and hit delete and when it asks to back up your documents on someone elses user do it onto the Administrator account that you are on and then go to Create Account -> and Create an administrator account by the same name of the previously limited one. then copy your files over to your new administrator account. then go to Start -> Run and type in msconfigg and hit okay and do not go to any othe tabs, just the one it is already on and select Normal Start-up and then exit out and it will ask you to restart, say yes and let it boot up, then enjoy your new Administrator account

If you want to change the account type of the user do the foll.\n\nStart > Control Panel > User Accounts\n\nClick on the particular user.\n\nClick change account type and you are done.\n\nRemember there has to be atleast 1 power user in the system.

Sounds like you need to be logged on to the computer with an account that has the rights to be an "administrator" before you will be able to use or install the program.  Go into the control panel and click on the user accounts icons.  Hopefully one of the accounts in there will have "administrator" rights. You would need to use that account to run the program.  You can also "change your account type" to administrator for your account so that it can run the program.

This is a dangerious setting, please make sure that what you are going to do is legal in your system.\n\nFirstable, restart your PC;\n\nSecond, After your PC has checked its hardware and before your Operating System is loaded, please press F8 until the system loading mode apear;\n\nPlease check the "Security Mode" or other labs like this. and then entry your OS.\n\nAfter this step you will see more than one Administrator Account on your Screan. one is default account which doesnot have password. \n\nLogin as that super-Administrator then change your administrator's password in Control paniel, or just creat a new administrator account for yourself.\n\nlogout and normally re-login as that changed administrator. And do what you want to do.\n\nGood luck!

The first thing you have to do is create a new limited account.  Not an administrators account and make sure you password protect the administrators account.  Have the users you do not wish to make changes on the computer use the new limited account (and keep the password a secret).\n\nXP Pro has a tooll called Local Security Settings that will allow you make changes to your system. Click Start > Run, type secpol.msc > Enter.\n\nUnder Local Policies click User Rights Assignment. Right-click the policies you want to change, choose Properties and select which access rights.
