Windows 10: administrator group

I forget; how do i make my user a member of the administrator group?

:)

 

Installing printer drivers not sufficient priviledge

Are you able to confirm that you belong to the Administrators group on the PC by opening a command prompt and typing the following:

whoami

You will see the name of the account that your logged on as.

Then type in:

net localgroup administrators

A list of accounts that belong to the Administrators group will be listed, and if you are in the Admin Group, you should see your account name that was displayed under whoami. If the account name is not there then you are not part of the Administrators group.

 

Local group administrator password

is 'local group administrator' a user you or someone else has created? (if so Frederik has given you the answer)

or are you confusing it with the administrators group on the local computer which contains all users with administrative permissions?

the group does not have a password, the users do. when asked for local group administrator password, you can use any user from that group.

if you log on as an administrator you can change/reset the password of other local users.

if you have forgotten the password for a Microsoft account you can reset it
