The administrator should appear in the welcome menu, and usually they're not password protected. Get in and change your account to an admin account. If you're using Vista, go to the root folder (usually C:\) windows\system32 and run cmd as administrator. Type in net user administrator /active:yes this will make the administrator appear in the welcome screen. In vista it is possible to run the shortcut as administrator by right clicking the shortcut and choosing run as administrator. Both the above will work only if the administrator account doesnt have password protection. if you're using XP, restart the pc in safe mode.

Your best work around is to set run the shortcut with alternate credentials (admin account)when it is launched. To do this: - right click on the shortcut (you created to shutdown, restart, etc) - make sure the shortcut tab is selected and click on the Advanced button at the bottom - check the box next to Run with different credentials and click OK back to the desktop. After clicking on the shortcut, you will be able to select an account with admin rights and need to enter the password. @eoin
