However, not all of the apps on a computer have portable versions, meaning <strong>you&#8217;ll need admin access for most of the apps you install on your device. <\/strong>While it&#8217;s possible to download the software without admin rights, it&#8217;s better to gain admin access first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Disable_Administrator_In_Chrome\"><\/span><strong>How Do I Disable Administrator In Chrome?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may see the Administrator enforcing the &#8220;This Settings&#8221; message if you&#8217;re using a computer that is part of an organization or infected by malware. You have to <strong>disable the administrator <\/strong>to make your computer work normally again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask the admin to remove your computer from the network if you can.

You&#8217;ll need the administrator to log into your computer <strong>&#8220;as an administrator&#8221;<\/strong> before you can do anything. If you get the admin to login into your system, go to administrative tools and reduce the minimum password length to 0. The computer won&#8217;t request the password if the length is 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Get_Rid_Of_Managed_By_Administrator_On_My_Chromebook\"><\/span><strong>How Do I Get Rid Of Managed By Administrator On My Chromebook?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to Quick Settings on your Chromebook and click on sign out.
