  2. Windows 10 asks for administrator password

    Hi Carl,

    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if you face the same issue.

    Here are the steps:


    • Go to Settings.

    • Choose Accounts and then select
      Family and other users.

    • Select add someone else on this PC.

    • Enter a user name and hit next.

    • Click on Finish.

    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.

    If you still face the issue, I suggest you to change the account type to administrator account by following the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Select Control Panel.

    • Click on User accounts.

    • Under make changes to your account, click on
      Manage another account.

    • Select the account which you want to change.

    • Now click on change the account type.

    • Select Administrator
      and click on Change the Account Type to change the account type to administrator account.

    • Now check if you are able to perform the tasks.
    Get back to us with the status of the issue.

    Thank You.

    Use Option Five again, but this time boot from a Windows 10 install usb or recovery drive. You only get asked to select an administrator account if you boot from the system's own Advanced Startup.

    Error of asking permission from the administrator

    Hello,

    The error message that asks permission usually appears when you don't have administrator rights to copy a file or folder. To determine the cause of the issue, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • What is the exact error message that you're getting?
    • Were you able to copy files before without any error?
    • Were there any changes made on your PC prior to this?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps provided by Niranjan Manjhi on this
    post. It includes guidelines on how to take ownership of a file or folder,
    turn off the User Account Control (UAC) which is necessary in preventing unauthorized changes to your computer, and enabling the hidden built-in administrator account on your PC. This was marked as an answer and a lot of Community members
    claimed it as helpful and that it solved their problem.

    Please update us with the results. We will be glad to assist you.
