While setting up a computer for a lab, I have become completely unable to change anything requiring an administrator password. The computer is on a domain called "students" and I am logged on using the local account I created when I first went through the setup process. The account I am using is listed a debugger user, and there are no other local accounts. I am unable to change anything with the windows security logo next to it. When I type in the local account and password it gives me "The requested operation requires elevation" error. My network administrator receives the same message. Please help me regain the ability to change settings in the control panel.

Device Manager: "You do not have sufficient privileges to uninstall devices or change device properties or device drivers. Please contact your site administrator, or log out and log in again as administrator and try again." Ummm.... I assuming since it no longer recognizes the only local account I have as an non-administrator account there is now no way for me to install or change anything....

I have the same problem although I was hit with some viruses before I realized it but somehow I am no longer the system administrator and the control panel tab is gone cannot access even in safe mode and cannot install or uninstall programs and it's killing me because I think my PC has been hijacked and do not know what to do please HELP. Every Microsoft page I have found says go to control panel????? I would if I could

Hi, I have the exact same problem. Is anyone able to recommend anything that I am able to do? Or will I have to pay someone to do it? thanks
