Hello,

The "runas" command is what you need......For example if you want to run cmd.exe as user 'Administrator' then following command works for you:

runas /user:Administrator cmd

To know more, see Microsoft DOS runas command at computerhope.com. Alternatively, you can also search Google.

Hope this helps.....

Well, then you are (probably) entering the wrong password for the account. I cannot think of any other possibility in this case. Are you sure that you are entering the right password. Also, if the account has no password then this will not work. If you try to use this command with a account that has no password then you get following error message:

RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - [Application_name]
1327: Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passw
ords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enfo
rced.

So if there is a blank password then you either need to set up a password for that account or you need some other command (which I cannot think of at the present moment......probably, some other expert may help)

thanks for your reply. yes i am sure i am entering the right command, i have spent more than a week working on this issue. i tried other computers. and the same issue. one of the computer its password is "dog" how could i miss writing that for more than a week.
your reply is similar to the other replies i read in other websites. i don't get why the computer is not taking the password. i am the admin it should accept my password, but for some reason it is not.
i am using a windows vista os. could that be a reason for this problem. as everyone knows VISTA SUCKS, after this problem which i am facing i am re-installing XP to my computer.

If the computer is a member of a domain you can try using the domain administrator password, as in.

User ..........YourDomainName\administrator
passowrd....password

User ..........YourDomainName\administrator
passowrd....password

sadly i can't test that. my computer is not a member of a domain.

The problem may be caused by User account control feature of Vista. You can try disabling it but I (and Microsoft too) do not recommend this. For more visit this link.
