How to Become the Administrator in Windows Vista 64

Becoming an administrator in Windows Vista gives you access to all of the features in the Windows operating system. Users with limited user accounts or people using guest accounts are not given privileges to install programs or access documents located in other users accounts. If you are currently a limited user or guest and do not have access to an administrator account, consult the computer's administrator to give you access to an administrator account so you can create your own, personal administrator account.
