How do I log in as the administrator?

[Guest Stonebow Witham]

I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit. How do I log in as the system

administrator?

 

I have tried to right click on the CMD prompt but there are no instructions

for logging in as administrator?

 

HELP?

Right click, select Run As Administrator. If your current account isn't an

administrator, you'll get prompted for username and password. If it is, you

won't - just a LUA confirmation that you really want to do this.

 

If you're in an enviornment where there are system administrators

controlling your workstation, it's possible they've set a policy on your

account that doesn't allow you to elevate. in which case, you won't even see

the Run As Administrator option.
