If you are trying to install software and are prompted for administrative credentials that you do not have (username/password), try these steps…
First, right-click on the executable file that you have downloaded and choose Run as Administator. That step may let you initiate an installation. If not, go to step 2.
Go to the system tray in the lower right corner of your screen and look for a “green checkmark”
icon. Click on the icon and from the menu chose “Request administrator access.”
Fill out the form that pops up.
You will see the message below.
In a short period of time you should receive an email provisioning you with time-limited admin rights to your device.
Notes:
If you are working during off-hours, the time to receive rights may be longer than normal.
Generally the timeframe to do the installation is three hours.
