Windows 10: Run as administrator "remove"?

Hi, I have a problem... There is an administrator on my PC (my father :] ) and I have an application where you have to enter the administrator password every time. Is there a solution how to avoid entering the password after you have entered it, so that you don't have to enter it again next time?

Thanks in advance for an answer

:)

Removing/changing Administrator

Hi Mike,

We are sorry to hear about the loss.

Before assisting we would like to know:

The account you are speaking about is it a Microsoft Administrator Account or a Local Administrator Account?

• 
  If it is a Microsoft Administrator Account then Password cannot be removed.

  In order to remove the Password Protection for a Local Administrator Account you would need to Enable the Build In Administrator Account. This will help you in removing the Password.
  
• 
  To Enable the Build In Administrator Account Please follow the below steps:
  

• 
  Press Windows Logo + X
  
• 
  Click on Command Prompt (Administrator).
  
• 
  Type: net user administrator /active: yes
  
• 
  Hit Enter
  
• 
  Now you will be able to remove the Password, to remove the Password please follow the below link:How do I remove password protection from Windows 10 Home Insider Preview?
