How do I get past the Administrator rights to re-install windows?

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.

Honestly, your best option is to just put in the windows disk and then reboot. Boot from CD and then it will allow you to reset all user accounts when it comes up.\nGood Luck!

You don't have administrative rights to your computer to install softwares and programs. \nContact your administrator.\n\nIf you are the admin, then there is some malware on your computer that has taken over these rights. In that case, you'll have to re-install your OS.

The local administrator has access to system files and folders that the application changes during installation. You can change your access by going to Control Panel, User Accounts.

Restart using a Win98 Startup Disk and try to locate the file or just Re-install Windows

Go to Start Button > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.\n\nThe Services application should display.  Scroll down to Windows Installer and double-click on it.  If you want to temporarily start Windows Installer and have it still be disabled when you reboot, click on the Start button and wait for the service to restart.  There is no need to stop the service as it will be disabled the next time you boot.

You do not have the administrative rights to the computer. If you are at work there is a reason that you are not allowed to install software.\n\nIf this is your home computer, then somehow you have accidentally set up your windows profile as to not have administrative access. The only way to fix this is to use a profile that does have admin access to edit your profile to give it admin access, or create a new profile and have that setup as administrator.

I'm not aware of any special "administrator" directions.  Maybe the message was that you need to have "administrator privileges" to install the program?\n\nCan you post the exact error message for us?

If you don't have admin rights from the get go, you will not be able to asign yourself rights. You could try to load in safe mode but that would require some registry editing. I would suggest getting the tech to load for you. TX
