Turn administrator on / off?

I'm looking for answers, and I want to turn off the admin rights on a laptop. Unfortunately, that is not because I do not know that PW or other. With net user administrator / active: no does that also not work, since I can't run the CMD as admin knows someone an answer?

It usually should not work that you can easily turn off admin rights. They are not without reason. Therefore, as far as you do not know the password of the admins, nothing will change much.

It's like you want to get into an apartment you do not have a key for. It's like tearing the lock out the door just to get into a (foreign) apartment.

Stupid comparison, but I think you understand how I mean that.

Trzd thanks for the quick help.

Is it quite wonderful, if you do not know the password, you also have no admin rights, where is the problem?

With the net user administrator command you activate / deactivate a pure admin account, which has nothing to do with your rights in your current session, you are logged on to windows as user with administrative rights, which you can't claim, if you do not know the corresponding admin password.

If you want to use an account / user completely without administartive rights, you can set up the guest account.

I'm mom on a laptop that has admin rights, but can't do anything because I do not have Admin PW. Why did I ask here?

A laptop has no admin rights. A user or an account can have admin rights.
Without admin rights you could not do any more… You are also not in an admin account (otherwise you would not have to enter a password), you are apparently on a 'normal' Windows account with administrative rights…
What do you want to know? If you are on an account that is not predefined as an admin and is not yours (that is, where you do not know the password) then you can't do anything! Of course not, it would be completely useless, but the group guidelines are there, so not everyone can do anything. If you are in the windowless apartment of a stranger and you locked in there & took the key with you, you will not get out…

Okay, to explain what I have in mind, and I want to find out that Wi-Fi Pw where I'm sitting & although I've tried that on the CMD does not work as synonymous run as admin, etc. Why I ask yes here came as and if you can do that from or then again without anyone having it.

The WLAN password is set in the router, not in the PC. You can't find a Wi-Fi password through a logged in client.

Right-click the network icon in the lower right corner of the taskbar.
Select "Open Network and Sharing Center".
See "Show active networks" displays your wireless connection in addition to the "Connections" access type.

So according to my knowledge it already works so it would not work so it would have no adminrechte.

If the router is unprotected you can access via a connected client but on the router and then see or change the config. In the browser of the client you have to enter the IP of the router (this is always 192.168.XXX.XXX, usually the third digit is' 178 ',' 1 'or' 0 'and the fourth digit is usually' 1 'or' 0 'but does not have to, if the network has been configured differently).

Your WLAN connections are not the access data. I already know what I'm talking about. Here you can see the SSID to which you are connected and your IP in the network, subnetwork mask, etc., but you can't see the access data of the router, otherwise everyone in the network would have complete control over it…

Have never doubted that they do not know what they're doing just thought that it will work, in spite of everything, thank you very much.

Dear Liora,

Could it be that you are playing around in certain places where you have no business, because you lack experience in dealing with commands, drivers and general administrative skills?

First of all to your mistake in the question:

Admin rights off is not working. Why? That would be like a flock of sheep without the shepherd; who would be the leader?
Ergo; The system always has an account that has full admin rights. This is necessary for an account to have the ability to make changes to the system.

With

net user administrator / active: no

do not disable the admin rights in your personal Windows account, you generally disable the admin account of the system (if it is activated, that is visible).

In the command "net user" only says that the following name "Administrator" (this name / account exists ALWAYS under Windows) should be selected.
/ active: no means in this case that the selected account "Administrator" is deactivated.

I can help you make sure you get admin rights and can do whatever you want.

But how should I know that the laptop belongs to you and you tell the truth? It could also be that your parents blocked your access because you were nonsense.
