Log on to the Windows-based computer using an account with administrator rights.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
Double-click Local Users and Groups, and then click the Groups folder.
Add your self to the Andmin. group.
First you must have a name in USER folder

Now when you loggin with the name you choose you will have
Admin. priviledges.
