I was trying to install some applications in HP EliteBook 8460 and I failed to do it many times because it keeps on displaying or asking for the Administrator Password. I can't even use my internet connection in both local and wifi. Even if I will add another account, it will still ask for an Administrator password. Please help me on how to fix it.. I cannot do any actions anymore because of ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.

To set the scene: I work in a highly restricted SOE. I can only sign in as a standard user, but have administrative access through "Run as other user" or "Run as administrator".
When trying to setup GitHub access, VSCode running as administrator opens an authentication window in a browser that then wants to re-open VSCode. The issue is, reopening VSCode in this manner only opens as the standard user, not running as administrator. This happens connected to the internet through the work network, and via hotspot.
I am NOT permitted to sign-in directly as administrator.
My colleague has told me there used to be a way to sign in by copying and pasting a token directly into VSCode, but this appears to no longer be an option.
Is there another way to authenticate GitHub with VSCode, other than the web-based sign-in?
Thanks
I was able to work around this some time ago by getting a Personal Access Token working.
The environment I'm forced to work in made even this difficult, but got there eventually.
I have a Raspberry Pi running raspbian that I can no longer login to. I have been using the "pi" user without any problems up to this point. However, when it asks for a login and I input "pi", I get an error that says "Login Incorrect" and am asked for a login again. This happens at the command line as I was working on setting it up as a headless file server.
This doesn't happen if I give it the username "root". If I try to login as "root", it asks for a password but no password seems to work. I tried looking up the default "root" password and found that the "root" user is not enabled on the pi.
Strangely, if I try to access the pi via ssh (using PuTTY), I can login as the user "pi". However, as soon as I do the connection is broken with the error: "Server unexpectedly closed network connection".
What could be happening to cause this? Do I have any way of fixing the problem if I can't login?
Some background as to what might have caused this:
I was working on setting up Deluge with it's Web UI. However, deluge doesn't have init scripts so I was following this guide to create the init scripts. My pi didn't have "systemctl" installed so I started following this guide to install "systemctl". I had a problem after editing "/boot/cmdline.txt" which caused my pi to boot into safe mode. I removed my edits and the pi booted normally again.
I don't know if any of my above attempts could have caused my login problems but essentially the only thing I was doing was trying to setup deluge when I stopped being able to login.
Login as root and type:
passwd pi
And that will allow you to set a new password for user pi. if not, re install raspbian to your SD card. Works everytime.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure why you're not able to login but I would suggest using the Deluge client instead of the WebUI as it has more features - you can get it from here
You can find a good step-by-step tutorial of how to use Deluge with a client here
In the meantime I might be inclined to start from scratch with a fresh Wheezy install instead of wasting too much time on it..
I'm facing a problem kinda hard to solve, I already read a lot of questions about the Administrators Rights .NET app but is almost all about the UAC popup message to login as Admin.
What I want is: When I start my application, the fisrt thing to do before run all the code is login as Admin to grant the application Administrator Rights without ask anything to the User.
Any ideas?
The real question is why does your app need to run with elevated privileges? If you need that, you can use an application manifest to request elevation and then educate your users that they must confirm elevation. But you cannot bypass the UAC prompt, and this is by design.
FAQ: Why can't I bypass the UAC prompt?
Excerpt:
If it were possible to mark an application to run with silently-elevated privileges, what would become of all those apps out there with LUA bugs? Answer: they'd all be marked to silently elevate. How would future software for Windows be written? Answer: To silently elevate. Nobody would actually fix their apps, and end-user applications will continue to require and run with full administrative permissions unnecessarily.

I am creating a Windows Form program that will change specific settings on a newly imaged PC. All of the PCs will be running Windows7 and they are not on any domain. What I need to be able to do is change or remove the password hint for the local account on this PC. If the password hint cannot be changed without changing the password that is OK.
I have code that changes the password but unfortunately it does not change or remove the password hint. I have searched Google and there does not seem to be anything on how to do this.
I have an asp.net 2.0 application running on IIS 6.0. I am using Integrated Windows Authentication. Some users have two network accounts, a personal account and an administrative account. The problem I am facing is that sometimes when they are logged in on the client side using their personal accounts, the logged in user appears at the server side as the admin account. I am retrieving the logged in user network id using System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.
I suspect that their admin credentials are being cached somewhere and passed instead.
I had exactly this same problem. The web site was seeing me authenticate as my admin account even though I was logged in as my personal account.
It turns out that in Windows you can associate specific user names and passwords with particular sites. Once that is done, the integrated authentication through IE (and Chrome!) always uses those credentials. And, to make things easy, there is no obvious way to get to those settings through Internet Explorer's settings or options.
To fix your issue on Windows XP:
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, User Accounts.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click Manage Passwords.
Find the entry in the list the corresponds to the site(s) where you're seeing this behavior. Remove it.
Credit where credit is due: This answer was taken almost word-for-word from an unnamed "Junior Member" at ObjectMix.
For Windows 7, use "Control Panel/Credential Manager" (also available via "Control Panel/User Accounts/Manage Your Credentials"). This lists all cached credentials, and lets you easily delete the ones which are causing problems.
When you use Remote Desktop to connect to a server and save your login credentials, it doesn't only save them for remote desktop, it also uses them for connecting through IE and, apparently, Chrome.
This is an old issue, and still valid. I just found if you save credentials while using mstsc (Remote Desktop), and try to use Integrated Windows Auth against any site that is CNAMEd to that server, it will use the saved credentials. Those will be the ones you need to delete.
My PC is locked down at work and IT have removed Credential Manager from the menu in Control Panel.
I was able to get around this by running cmdkey /list from the command line. In the list of "Currently stored credentials" I located the offending hostname and ran cmdkey /delete:[hostname] (no sq. brackets and replace hostname with your host), which fixed the issue for me.
According to this site, rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr will bring up the dialog to do this as well.
