Windows 10: Apps like torguard still need admin password even when elevated?

As a user on my computer, I find it really annoying to have to ask the admin for the password every time I open torguard. I tried setting it as an elevated program (properties-advanced-run as administrator) but it still asks for the password. How do I fix this?

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Elevation error when trying to enter admin password


OK, than means that you are trying to run a program elevated from a standard account, not admin account. In that case you have to select the Windows built-in administrator account from the list and use it:




By default the built-in administrator account has no password, leave the password box empty if you have not manually set a password for this account.

If the built-in administrator account is not shown, it means that it is disabled as it by default is. In that case you have to sign in to Windows with a local admin account and go to Computer Management (right click Start, select Computer Management). When there, select Local Users and Groups > Users, and double click the Administrator account to open its properties, or right click it and select Properties:




In Properties dialog unselect Account is disabled and click OK to save the changed properties:




Administrator account - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Now you can go back to your standard Windows user account and select the built-in administrator from the list when you want to run an application elevated.
