Okay, I'm on a school computer and I want to install Senuti, but I have to have an administrator's password to authenticate it or whatever, is there any way to change the settings so I don't need the password? I'm logged on as student...

Only admins can do that. If you don't have the password then you can't do it.

Senuti, so you're using a Mac then, yes?

Nope, not on a Mac, you can't override it like that. You could run it from terminal using the sudo command, but even then you'd need the password. I doubt you'd have access to the terminal anyway.

Simplest way is to install it at home and then copy the Senuti.app onto a pen drive and run it from that in school.

My cousin was able to hack through into the administrator account, via the map network drive. He told me how to do it, but It is weird. I'll try explain:
Click My computer, then click the tools tab. Click Tools, then map network drive. This will open a window, with a tab, for browse network. Here you should be able to find the administrator computer, and connect to it. Now, As I said, I've never tried this 100%, but it does work. It may ask to confirm username, or ask for a password, but I think that theres an option to connect through the same connection, so this may work.
I'm sorry if that was confusing, but as I said, I never learned fully how to do it, thats the best example I could give. But it DOES work, and you can always google: How to connect to administrator computer via mapnetwork drive

Heres a forum I found, where a conversation has taken place about this: It should answer all your questions

@Crazy snake: The user wants to run something as an admin account, not try to get access to the admin only area of the drive. Regardless, she's using a Mac, so it wouldn't work anyway.

Ohhh, I thought she wanted to gain access to the administrator account. Still though, if she did, she could use that to install the program she wants, to the entire network.

Fucking macs Windows is so much easier to understand, for me anyway

No, but that'd give her access to the drive, and I don't see how mapping network drives would give you any other sort of access.

She still couldn't install it, because she's logged in as a student, so when the software is executed it'd run under student. Even if it is copied to the local drive, it'd still retain the same file permissions.

Macs are so much simpler though. Most software doesn't need to be installed, just drag-n-drop into the applications folder.

I suppose you're right actualy, now that I think about it. All I've used it for was messing with other students files as they were working lol.

But still, I'll just never understand macs 100%, unless I end up getting one hahaha
