Re: administrative privileges

Hi,

You must logon as an administrator in order to elevate your user account to
that level. You cannot do it from within your own account.

There is one user on both my desktop and laptop - dennist685. How can I
make
myself the administrator. The reason I ask is that when I try to upgrade
an
Access database to sql server 2005, or create a new database in sql server
2005 I'm not allowed to do so because I don't have administrative
privileges.

The same thing happens when I try certain things in asp.net 2.0.

Thanks in advance.
