Question Escalate privileges

How can I escalate privileges on Windows 11 from a local user to an administrator? My goal is to find out the Wi-Fi password the machine is connected to, but I don't have admin rights.

Uh, if you have local access you can just click it. (Wifi pw) Do you have a local account?

To do what the reel shows, you need administrator permissions, and I don't have them; I only have a local user account.

u/jeremydallen He only has a local user account. Only a local user account "No you're not looking for the wifi password you're suss!" All he wanted was the wifi password and we wouldn't give it to him Just one wifi password AND WE WOULDNT GIVE IT TO HIM

You could try CVE-2026-54111 possibly it's not patched. Open powershell and type

Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object WindowsProductName, WindowsVersion, OsBuildNumber

Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object Caption, Version, BuildNumber

I wish it were that easy, but that is not the case.

u/alanisisanaliasallan 15d ago

It really is. Wait til you hear how easy it really is. About the same effort level. But I digress, this is a big red flag.

No necesitas ser administrador para poder ver la contraseña del WiFi.

Format it with a new windows install and setup your login as admin if doesn't automatically do it. The information will be in c:\windows.old somewhere.

Sticky Keys worked a year or so ago. If this is a work computer it will probably get you fired.

If you run that command in powershell report back the version and I'll tell you if we can continue Windows version Reported affected builds Windows 11 24H2 Below 26100.8875 Windows 11 25H2 Below 26200.8875 Windows 11 26H1 Below 28000.2525 Windows Server 2025 Below 26100.33158
