Windows 10: I'm not my own computer's Administrator despite being the only `Administrator` Account.

/u/ayeshasuhail · Jan 15, 2020

The other day I had to make some changes to the hosts file under /System32/Drivers. That's when Windows told me I don't have the privileges. Under the security tab, the only permissions I have are:

Read

List Folder Contents

Read and Execute

Funny enough, these are for the local account, the administrator account has zero. Clicking Edit grays out all the possible places where I can change permissions. What do? Fresh Install via USB 6 weeks ago.

Boot into Windows as administrator

I try this on XP & it always says my passwords wrong

You set up the admin password when installing XP, but most the time people believe it is for their individual account and not the Administrator one. As for Vista, like stated before, the initial account created is an administrator account, and if necessary, you may need to right click certain programs to "Run as Administrator"
