    Administrator Password


    Hello,

    After an incident with a Microsoft account, I lost access to opening programs: I insist on being Administrator

    (Right click on the program + run as administrator)

    Really, I lost the password - how can I find it?

    I know the location of the programs via the config panel or the root C:/
    I usually install and uninstall them.

    Thanks a lot to you

    Hi, bienvenu à tenforums. Please note the working language of the forum is English...

    It sounds as if you currently log in as a standard user and run programs as admin, but now can't.

    If you've lost the password for your MS account, there are recovery options.
    Reset Password of User Account in Windows 10

    If, however, you've lost the password for your admin account and you can no longer log in as admin and thus effectively have no admin account, you could do this:
    Enable or Disable Elevated Administrator account in Windows 10

    and then create a new admin account.
