  1. Win 10 asks for the admin password when running an app as a different user.


    Good day.When i attempt to run a program as a different user the OS asks me for the credentials of that different user, and then, on top of that, the OS asks me for the credentials of a user, who must be in the Administrators group. Formerly, in Win 7, there was just one login dialog window, now there are two. I've set the UAC to the lowest, but still the second administrative login dialog box appears.Is there a way to rid of the second dialog box?Regards.

    :)

    Programs asking me for system admin and user admin passwords


    I'm having some issues with my upgrade to win 10.

    Programs that need elevated access are now asking me for both the Sys Admin and my local admin password.

    Of course, the sys admin has no password and my local admin does. So no matter what I do, I get it wrong.

    Earlier today, I was trying to reset the tiles in my start menu to default.

    I followed directions I found on the web, activated the sys admin account, went to the sys admin account, the users app data tabletray..... But I kept getting the error that something " was already in use" and I couldn't copy all the files.
    I went ahead and pasted what I had in my local admin and standard user account.
    then I disabled the sys admin account.

    Now, some programs icons I installed earlier today have disappeared. I have to go to an admin account to gain access and turn them on (MSI afterburner.....). And any program that needs admin access, I'm not sure if I'm giving it access or it's just starting without admin access. Seems like the next time I re-boot or log off, I have to do it all over again.

    when a program asks for elevated access, it shows sys admin account AND local admin account above the password box. Is that normal? I could have sworn it only had my local admin account listed before.

    If I have to re-install, where do I get the free win10 upgrade again? are those files saved on my pc?

    Win 10 asks for the admin password when running an app as a different user.

    WIN 10 Admin password not working.


    This really helped and the Hibernate problem was put to rest, however the pswd is not reset. I am following the default option in NT and at some point it is just cycling around, until i choose to quite. I can see the admin has been selected and some attempts are made to clear the register. I says the pswd appears to be blank and suggest to log in with blank pswd. Also when quitting, it asked to write the changes to the disk - y. But when tested later, there still is a password.
    The program looks pretty neat though.

    Some steps from me: on the pc is a guest acc, so no password. This is still something, then i achieve to get to the Recovery and restart. Now I have tried various options like run Safe mode with Command prompt and type the bcdedit command, which is access denied. Option 2 to run just the command prompt also failed, because ask for admin password.

    Guys, is there any way to get rid of the Safe mode from the recovery/ troubleshoot/ advanced options without the admin password?????

    I found this whole story to be really, really big safety issue for this windows. If the only option is to log in to safe mode with the password(no pin) why the hell, they do not ask for it when switching it on?! Poor programming from everywhere! Also some restriction are easy to go around - after couple of days playing around on this issue.
