I want to know if it is possible to make a local admin account on a domain computer. I know that there is already an account called 'Admin' which is local but I want to make another one because I forgot the password. I already have an 'Admin' account on the domain but it doesn't let me run admin programs on the computer.

Thanks in advance

  • If you have administrative rights over the computer then you should be able to reset the password using net user command

If you would want to create another 'Admin' account, you would need to do it from an administrator account on the local computer. You cannot create an admin account from a standard account(unless you have the administrator login). If you have forgot your password, contact your network administrator.

If you do have an admin account, please refer to this guide.
