prompt for admin name and password

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Vista Enterprise box, fully patched and on a
domain so that when I right click on an app and then click on Run as
administrator it prompts me for a user name and a password. I login
with a non-privileged domain account and need to elevate to an account
that has admin privileges on the domain and locally.

I know it is possible because that is how my current computer is
configured. I just can't find the tip sheet I found last time.

Thanks!

RE: prompt for admin name and password

There are a lot of Windows password revealers and crackers available.



Windows password recovery tool:

but I’ve found that Windows Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with
Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user
account to a blank password.

you can find what your lookng for in "local security policy"
  • start - search type policy, press enter and you will be prompted the program needs your permission to continue. if your not logged in with an account with admin rights youll need to run as administrator
  • in the navigation tree browse to Local Policies and select Security Options.
  • in the righthand window scroll to the very bottom where you will find the "user account control section"
    if your using an account with admin rights then youll be interested in the "behaviour of the elevation prompt for administrators in the admin approval mode"
  • right click the secutiry setting column "Prompt for consent" and select properites or double click.
  • select "prompt for credentials"
