Thanks!

'I downloaded a .exe file from the internet and ran it wanting to install the program on my Windows 10, but a 'User Account Control' dialog pops up to ask for an administrator password and I don’t know the administrator password. Is it possible to install programs in Windows 10 without admin password?'

Sometimes, you share one PC with somebody else and you are a limited user or guest account without administrative rights. In this case, you may have no rights to perform some actions on this PC, for example, install .exe applications, especially when the administrator account is password protected. If that’s the case, to install .exe applications as a limited user in Windows 10, you can take the following measures.

How to install (.exe) programs without admin password in Windows 10

Here are several constructive suggestions for your choice.

Option 1: Ask the administrator for his password

If a 'User Account Control' dialog pops up to ask for an administrator password when you are trying to install a .exe application, ask the administrator account on this PC for the admin password if you can.

Option 2: Change you to an admin account

If the administrator doesn't want to tell you his password, try to ask him if he could change you from a standard account to an administrator account, so that you can install applications without restrictions.

Option 3: Remove the admin password

If you can't get the admin password (or rights), or if the administrator forgets his password, you can remove the admin password, so that you can install (.exe) programs without any admin password. To remove an admin password in Windows 10, you can take the following steps.
