I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit.  How do I log in as the system
administrator?

I have tried to right click on the CMD prompt but there are no instructions
for logging in as administrator?

HELP?

Right click, select Run As Administrator. If your current account isn't an
administrator, you'll get prompted for username and password. If it is, you
won't - just a LUA confirmation that you really want to do this.

If you're in an enviornment where there are system administrators
controlling your workstation, it's possible they've set a policy on your
account that doesn't allow you to elevate. in which case, you won't even see
the Run As Administrator option.
