I'm on my Windows 7 computer and want to set up .NET Framework. However it's asking for an administrator password but I have no idea what it can be. I really need the .NET Framework. I hope there's a portable version but I'm worried there isn't.
Does anyone know how to run the setup without knowing the administrator password?
Tried programs and trick:
- Universal Extractor - it's only extracted not installed but they said it could install
- cmd - tried all commands
- Some password hack/viewer - none of them is working
- Searched the whole computer for some passwords or things that can help

To install .NET you must have administrator privileges. Perhaps your administrator account is just disabled.
- Try to boot into Safe Mode (F8 at startup) - the administrator account gets enabled there
- Login as Administrator (maybe no password)
- Go to users and give your account administrator privileges (add to Administrators group) or activate the Administrator user permanently
Login as a user who is a member of group Administrators and you will not be asked for a password in the UAC prompt. Instead, you will simply have to click Yes.
