使用Java以提升权限运行Administrator的cmd

Question

I have elevated rights on my system ie, I can right click on cmd.exe and run it as Administrator. But when I do the same thing using Java, I am not able to do that. It asks my for Administrator password which I don't have.

I am using following command:

runas /profile /user:Administrator /savecred cmd /c start PATH\\to\\my\\file.bat

If you want to change the password of the Administrator, you can use this:

public static void changeUserPassword(String username, String password) {
    try {
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("net user "+username+" "+password);
        //This runs without needing Administrative Rights...
    } catch (IOException e) {}
}

But you can't run a jar file as Administrator, unless you are in the Administrator account. Now, if you want a program you created to run as Administrator than I recommend you downloading Launch4j , this will turn your jar file into an exe file which will allow you to run it as Administrator...

Launch4j Download Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/launch4j/

Other than those ways that I listed, there is no way ( yet ) to auto-launch a file as Administrator...
