Windows 10: Windows 10 Repeatedly Prompts Me For Admin Password After Entering It

Hello! I have been using Windows 10 on my PC with family restrictions and have been trying to run a program in administrator mode on my son’s account. I change it to Admin Mode in the properties menu and try to launch the application, but when I do so I receive a pop-up asking me to enter the admin password, as would be expected. However, after I entered the admin password, I receive the same prompt. No matter how many times I enter my password, Windows will not stop asking for it, blocking me from running the application.

Does anyone know a solution to this issue?

For future reference, there have been reports that this was patched out several weeks back. I found an alternative method doing some registry diving.

UAC prompt asks to enter password in Windows 10

Hi Irinelonofrei,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to login to the built-in admin account and check:

1. Click on Start icon and select Command Prompt run as administrator
there.

2. Accept the UAC prompt.

3. Enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:
net user administrator /active:yes

Note: To disable the account follow the instructions : net user administrator /active:no

If you can log into the Default Administrator account, follow these steps to perform System Restore:

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + R to open a Run Dialog.

b. Type %systemroot%\system32\rstrui.exe.

c. Press Enter and select a restore point before the account got deleted.

If issue persists, also try this:

Try to save the password in credential manager and check. Refer to the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Click on "Credential Manager" and select "Windows Credentials".
• Go down to "Generic Credentials" and select "MicrosoftAccount:user=<user_name>" (where <user_name> should be your user name).
• Click "Edit" and Change the password and press "Save".
• Check if issue persists.
