How to gain Admin Access on a domain connected computer?

[Berryracer]

My work gave me a laptop, I login using the credentials that they setup on the domain. I am a standard user and would like to change some settings and remove some annoying things like they setup MBAM free to keep updating automatically even though it's not running in real time and it keeps popping up in the middle of my work and annoying me.

I tried using the CMD / net user admin active:yes command but it says no user found so have they renamed it or what?? how can they rename or remove the main Admin user entirely?

Is there any tool that would allow me to convert my account form a standard to an Admin user? at least locally on my laptop I don't care about the domain?

If you are only as standard user, you are stuck as it cannot make any changes.
If you have the admin username/password, you can run the Computer Management tool as the admin and turn on the Local admin

Otherwise you would have to boot the Offline NT Password Reset and re-enable the local administrator account that way.

PS the local disabled admin account is "administrator" not "admin"

If your employer owns the laptop and set those restrictions, then you need to talk to the employer's IT department to make the changes.
