Resolved Can't get Administrator Privileges

I added a hard drive from an old computer with a few files on it. I want to have a clean drive, but may need to put the folders back. I go to move them to another drive, problem is, I can't since I don't have administrator rights. I used the "net user administrator /active:yes" command, rebooted and it never gave me a chance to log on as administrator.

How else can I get administrator privileges to mover the folders?

Have no idea what version of Windows you use. This helps us in helping you solve problems. Each version of Windows is a little different in some things and some are exactly the same.
Have you tried to right click and choose Run as Administrator to see what happens?

 

I posted in Windows 7 forum. Sorry I didn't update my system.
I have no "run as administrator" but I did give it permission. After I do, it will not paste, because I don't have admin permission.

 

OK, thank you. I will try this. One problem is each folder has a whole bunch of files in it. When I do it to a folder, each file in the folder had to be done also. I will need to do this a hundred times.

Just tried and I got a error message (yellow exclamation point) that said, "access dined. "

 

OK, I see it. Mine also has "Replace all child objects permissions with inheritable permissions form this object" box. Do I check this also?

When I put a check in, I get a message that says, "This will replace explicitly defined permission on all descendants of this object with inheritable permissions from 63d739638370b4eb40eceo6d."

Should I check both and click OK when I get this message?

Thanks for replying,

Didn't work. I went in 'safe mode' and cut/pasted the files to my external drive and formatted.
It worked in safe mode.

Thanks for the reply's,

Chris.
