Changing User Account Type Without Admin Password

Many users face the challenge of wanting to change their account type on a device without the need for an admin password. This situation commonly arises when a user wants to elevate their permissions or perform certain tasks that their current account type prohibits. While it's important to note that changing user account type without an admin password can be a security risk, there are still a few methods you can try:

1. Use Command Prompt: Open Command Prompt with admin rights and type in 'net localgroup administrators [username] /add' to add the user to the administrators group.
2. Edit Registry: Navigate to the registry editor by typing 'regedit' in the Run dialog, then locate the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users\000001F4' key and change the 'F' value data to '11' for admin access.
3. Utilize Safe Mode: Boot your device into Safe Mode and access the hidden administrator account to make the necessary changes.

While these methods may work, it's crucial to always have the admin password for proper security protocols. If you don't have access to the admin password, consider seeking help from a professional or the device administrator to avoid compromising system security.
