Take Ownership of file

As I want to get as much experience with command prompt as possible i tried it via cmd, i used

icacls "c:\program files\*" /grant %username%:f

It went through about 6 files then said
Access denied: Common files

(On admin elevated cmd prompt)

Why do i get access denied messages even from Administrator account?

I cant even delete files from there because of Restricted Access.

Does the Administrator account not override security restrictions?
