I am the person who posted the question above. Basically, whenever I try to download anything to my hard drive, I get asked for sign in as an admin. I don't know how to sign is as an admin and...even if I did...I don't know what my admin password is. I have windows 8.1. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I printed out my run screen above thinking that might give you all a clue as to what is wrong. I'm sure I did something that screwed this up, but don't know what. :)
 
Are you sure that no family members etc. have done anything to it? The problem is that we can't help you with bypassing passwords/restrictions as it's forbidden by the rules of the forum to make sure that we don't help thieves :(
You could try taking it to the store you bought it from and telling them what's going on, they should be able to help you.

I am the only person who lives here. It all started when I downloaded windows 8.1 and my computer automatically updates. That is why I posted the stuff above from the "run" screen, hoping that would tell you something. I see lots of things posted on this problem so I know I'm not the only one. I've tried everything the web has to offer as far as solutions. Oh well. Thank you for your time.
