Not having admin privileges on Laptop

I am using company laptop. The company is coming down hard regarding the administrative rights and since they have been taken away. I am not able to install itunes update etc plugins in my web browsers. and soon enough they are deleting itunes from my computer for good. I also have a 500 GB external hard drive.

Can someone solve my problem ?

Thanks

Which operating system you are using ? Try to install on your external hard drive.

I use my portable external drive and install firefox, itunes, songs etc on it and not have to worry about not having admin privileges.

you will need the password for the 'Administrator' account to get admin privileges. You can install software and store files on external HDD.

Re: Not having admin privileges on Laptop

You cannot install it without Admin privileges. But to hack or access the admin account:

1) Go into safe mode (keep tapping F5 from start up, this is my safe mode button)
2) Go to the administrator account
3) Go to start, then control panel
4) Click User Accounts
5) Click the Account with Administrative Privileges
6) Then click Remove Password
7) Then Restart the PC as normal.
8) When the Log in screen loads click the account with admin privileges
9) You are now in the admins account.
10) Install iTunes!
