Basically, I have an ASUS transformer book T100, Running Windows 8, I can only log into a standard account, but want to run a program that needs administrator privileges, is there any way around this?
It might be worth mentioning, I have an admin account on another computer. And was also thinking; Is there a way to change the exe itself so it doesn't alert UAC?
Sticky keys.
Or log on in safe mode
I'd suggest booting linux from a USB stick and altering the administrator password. You can use chntpw.
Google "bypass uac task scheduler"
I know it works on windows 7.
Basically task scheduler will handle administrator privileges.
This is NOT for malicious intent and should only be used if this is YOUR computer and NOT if it is a school or work property! I am not held responsible for misuse or any trouble caused by this information.
As sundsta said you can use sticky keys to gain elevated Command Prompt access. From here we can add your windows account to the Administraitors workgroup.
When shift is rapidly pressed 5 times it launches the 'sethc.exe' in system 32. Sethc.exe will even launch when you are on the log in screen.
Therefore, if you launch into linux (cannot edit system 32 without admin priveledges) and replace 'sethc.exe' with a 'cmd.exe' renamed to 'sethc.exe' next time you boot to the windows login screen and press shift 5 times an elevated command prompt will open. Be sure to make a copy of 'sethc.exe' so that you can put it back to normal after aquiring the admin rights.
Now in the command promp you can use the 'net user' command to add your account to the admin workgroup.
You do this by using typing : "Net localgroup Administrator UserName /add"
Of course replace UserName with the username with the account you desire to elevate.
You are now an administrator and able to run administrator programs!
