Is it possible to install origin without an administrator password?

[Foggyturtlefire]

I'm currently trying to install Origin, as I bought The SIMS4 in GAME today and I need Origin to use it. However, I need an administrator password to install it, and as I am in foster care, I can't access any admin accounts. This is my laptop from my family and they have the admin details I need, but I cannot contact them, and even if I could, they would not help me. How can I install Origin?

Hi there,

You will need to contact your system administrators to have them install Origin for you. If you aren't allowed to play, then I'm afraid we can't help you from here either

Right, managed to get onto the post. So basically I have to start my laptop in safe mode with networking?

In order to start up in Safe Mode, you need to log in with an admin account. I can't as I do not have any access to administrator accounts.

Hi @Foggyturtlefire 

I tried this to install Steam. It actually worked. Meybe it will work on Origin too.

Try this. It actually Works. Just answer no when the pc is asking you to type in admin password.

I hope u have Windows 10.
