Windows 10: Open application without admin?

Im trying to open an application I downloaded in my downloads folder, I need to enter an administrator username and password, that I don't have, to run the app. Can someone help me. This needs to be done without logging onto the administrator user. (P.S I'm not trying to hack someone's computer, I'm trying to play a game on my school laptop.)

admin password?

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

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

I cant open any thing on my pc with a admin shield next to it

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• Does that mean when you try to open, it ask for the administrator privileges and ask for the admin password?
• Is the issue specific to particular files?
• Did you make any recent changes to the system?
• Did you install any third party security application?
• Did you sign in as administrator or are you the administrator of the account?
