I asked a question yesterday about my computer and I am currently trying everything in my power to run cmd as admin. I have typed in " runas /user: [MYUSER@DOMAIN] cmd. When it asks for my password, I type it in correctly and it shows this message:
"Attempting to start cmd as user "[xxxxxxx]" . . .
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd
1326: The user name or password is incorrect."


What do I do?

can you restart the system and boot into safe mode?

What version of Windows? if it's pre 8 then you can hit the F8 when it is booting.

In Win 10 its more convoluted.

At this point we can look to salvage data, possibly create a new user, do a virus scan etc.

Do you have any idea what might have caused this issue?

I assume we are talking about windows.

Why not right click on the executable and select "run as administrator"

but if you want to use 'runas' on a local non domain computer, then make sure you know the admin password.

runas /user:<machine_name>\administrator cmd.exe

I am unable to do this due to the fact that my entire taskbar is frozen and that no applications are present on my computer screen. My only ability is, to my knowledge, right-clicking on the wallpaper and choosing something from there. As regards to the "runas" command, that is the one I have been using. It shows the message:
"Attempting to start cmd as user [xxxxx]. . .
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd
1326: The user name or password is incorrect."

can you login as a different user at the start?

What does task manager show?

I assume that you do not have a domain server, so your credentials should be local host accounts.

So for the user part try:

/user:<your_machine_name>\<user_name>

so in my case it would be /user:frog\aperson
where frog i the name of my machine and "aperson" is my user

I really appreciate your help. No, I am unable to login into a separate account (I do not have any other users on my desktop) and it does not give me the option to. The task manager just opened recently (after hours of trying to open with Ctrl+Alt+Del), and currently just shows cmd.exe and itself.
I tried that for the user part-- and it finally took the password. However, in the new cmd window I tried using sfc and it still does not recognize me as administrator.

Thank you so much! I think I'm getting close to solving this, I really appreciate your help! No, I don't have any idea what caused any of this. I know that I had installed FL Studio not too long before this happened. Also, I believe this is Windows 10. I'm working on resetting the computer. I will update if any problems arise. Again, thank you so much.
