help with Admin priveleges

I'm trying to uninstall previous versions of Java thru lortnoc panel/uninstall programs - but it keeps saying that I don't have nimda priveleges and won't let me . I'm running atsiV Home Premium

I've tried googling - and tried to follow a couple of the geek squad ideas of getting the neddih nimda to come out of hiding ... but to no avail

can someone help me figure out how to uninstall various programs and get to the real admin? My user acct of course says it has admin priv - but that must not be the case?

pam

From Start/.../RUN, you type:

Net user administrator /active:yes

OK that and restart

After you uninstall what you want, the reverse is:

Net user administrator /active:no

Net user administrator /active:no

The user might get "access denied" when executing that command from the RUN menu. Might be better to get the command prompt from Accessories->Command Prompt then rt-click to access "Run As Administrator" first.
