Are you working on a work or school computer and you are not able to install anything? Make yourself an admin and take matter in your own hands! The nerdy tech guy probably ‘disabeled’ the command prompt but here’s a workaround.

  • Create a file in notepad with the following line: command.com
  • Save this file as cmd.bat
  • Execute the cmd.bat file and you”ll see the  command prompt.
  • To create a new user in command prompt: net user username /ADD
  • Enter net localgroup to find out the name of the local admin group In most cases it´s administrators.
  • To grant the user you have created administrative rights enter: net localgroup administrators username /ADD
  • Log off and login with new username , enjoy with
    administrative
    privileges. If you want to delete created user just
    type net user username /DELETE

This will come in very handy when you want to install your own software to work with on your work or school pc.
