How to add in yourself as local admin
LockedHi,
I had given two laptops from my office one was bit old and slow, so I complaint about it, so they gave me new one fat, because I used to run lots of applications at the same time.
But recently I left the job and returned the new laptop to them, and when I asked my manager he asked me to keep the old one because they don’t need it.
Any way I was not using the old one because I have one at home and two from office. But recently when I use the old laptop I found out that they didn’t add me to the local admin group on the old one but I was local admin on the new one. This happened because to add ourself as local admin we need to create modify user request and all those procedures which I did with my new laptop they given me and I forget that with my old laptop.
Now I cant add or remove or install any thing on my old laptop.
Can some one tells me how to add yourself as local admin. When ever I try to access user account I am getting error and pop up message asking me to login as Admin. Also when I try to add my user id in Admin I am getting the error that I am not Local Admin of the machine.
I created one account which is not a part of Domain but still I cant add that account in Admin group.Any help would be appreciated else I need to format the machine completely.
