How do i become an adminastrator on windows vista when i am a restricted user?

Question

i have restricted acess and cant do very much i can not download full stop and cant install

Answer 1

I suspect you are on a corporate or school network and were given the restricted access by the System Administrator.

The System Administrator provided you user access under the restricted user limits for security reasons. He does not want you changing settings that can foul up the network, install software not acceptable for the network use without approvals, etc as this can create serious problems.

You cannot change your level to administrator without the System Administrator's approval.

You will require him to approve the change. This means you have to convince him you should have administrator privledge and what you are going to be doing. If it is not business related, you may find yourself in a career limiting situation so think twice before asking unless it is a legitimate use.

Answer 2

slightly late yet on no account improve to Vista wait till you purchase a clean device and it is pre-put in. in basic terms google the errors code and it will take you to an internet site the place it is going to inform you waht the code ability and hoe to restoration it (if achieveable)

Answer 3

(this may be wrong)
(this will require re-creating your account)
(also,
log out of your account before continuing)
(I'm not very good with vista)
Go to the administrator account on your PC,
then select the start,
click on control panel,
a window will pop up,
click on user accounts,
select your account,
i think you will see a button that says delete account,
click that button,
then when you re-create your account,
select administrator.

Answer 4

You need to log-in in an administrator account and change your account type from there...... because you have a restricted account.....you dont have the right to change your account type

Answer 5

You get someone who's an administrator to give you admin rights.

Answer 6

You have to get the admin to make you one is the only way.
