Hi

I currently use Vista, and my dad won't let me have administrator, which means I'm fairly limited in terms of freedom. (Can't install, etc)

How can I (using command prompt) create a new user that is an administrator?

Hmm, im unsure cat. I cant reccomend anything sorry.
 
There is a way ^^ Looking for it atm ;) I'm sure there is a way ;)

Edit:

User Account Control (UAC) applies
As you may have guessed, there are command line tools that require administrative privileges and bring up what I'll call the Command Prompt equivalent of the User Account Control (UAC). For example, when attempting to run the Fsutil command from my local user account, which is an Administrator account type, I encountered the message shown in Figure B.

There are command line tools in Windows Vista that require administrative privileges in order to run.

While this isn't exactly a UAC prompt like those in the GUI, it did force me to close the current Command Prompt window, return to the Start menu, right-click on the Command Prompt shortcut, and select the Run As Administrator command. I then encountered a regular UAC, as shown in Figure C.

In order to run the Command Prompt administrative privileges you must go through a UAC.

While this was an inconvenience the first time I encountered it, it really won't be a big deal in the future, because I'll know that for certain command line tools, I'll have to use the Run As Administrator command. So I still don't mind working around UACs because I appreciate the level of protection they offer.

I'm sure this can help you out for a bit, can't find the exact CMD's for it :s
