Obtaining Admin Privileges / Changing DNS




Hey guys,

There are somethings that a person wants to do with a computer, such as installing a new driver, new program, or change specific settings. However sometimes you can't do that because you have no administrative privileges. This is special frustrating when all you're trying to do is surf the web freely. Now if the problem is that you have no privileges then Follow these steps:

Obtaining Administrative Privileges on Windows

Run cmd prompt-->cmd.exe
type: net user <username> <password>/add *i.e. max 123456/add*
type: net localgroup
find: Administrators
type: net localgroup Administrator max/add

If the problem lies in the DNS server, then your going to have to go a little further. DNS (Domain Name System) is essentially a protocol that distributes the responsibility of assigning domain names and mapping those names to IP addresses by designating authoritative name servers for each domain. Now the problem becomes if the IP address of the website you're trying to visit has been added to the "blocked" list. If that's the case then all you have to do is change the DNS Server by following these steps:

Change DNS Server:
click: start
click: run
type: ncpa.cpl
right click on network connection
click: properties
click: internet protocol TCP/IP
click: properties
Under "use the following DNS servers:"
type: 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

WARNING: you can try this, but there are ways of tracing it back, so make sure you place nothing indicative of who you are on name and passwords. Also you may have a system that has cmd.exe disabled and thus renders this useless, lastly, be careful where you use this, it could terminate your computer privileges in school, or get you fired from work.

other than that...

ENJOY!
