Hi creamop66

Can you give us more details which OS is running please? If the Admininstrator of a system, which i guess it's not you, otherwise you wouldn't ask how to get Admin privileges, has decided to do so you should ask him.

We don't give any instructions for "hacking" cause we do not know if it's your own, private system. But if you are deeply interested in that solution, have a look at Goggle.

I beg for your understanding

Hi,
basically I was asked to scan and clean a computer of spyware and viruses. The computers running Windows XP Home.It has two user accounts , both password protected. Now the person who asked doesnt have admin priv but the other does. I did mind you log in via their password (with their permission) so I did have admin priv and therefore managed to install the spyware and a AV and firewall.I then just did everything via safe mode. Is there another way of getting the option off logging in to the admin account.

When XP H is running on a system all (!!!) users on such a system have Admin privileges. Only if someone has made some changes of regular user accounts.

Thats what I meant: in fact that we do not give any instructions how to "hack" a system you has to ask the Admin who choose this configuration. See, the owner of that system didn't protect the Admin account without a reason. Sorry we won't get into any trouble.

Again, that Admin knows how to take care of his system and he knows why he does so... and it looks like he does not want to install software on it without his permission.
Do you, your friend and the owner of that computer a favour: ask him/her directely and not trying to "hack" that system.
