How to login with an administrator account using OpenSSH on Windows 7?

Question

I have just installed Cygwin and Openssh on my win7 box. After setting up the openssh, I can log in with my account (of course admin). But, I found my account under Ssh shell is filtered as a standard user. I know this is because UAC, but I wanna my account under ssh shell is real admin.

update: here is a way to do this, quoted from kb951016:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
3. If the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy registry entry does not exist, follow these steps:
   • On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
   • Type LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then press ENTER.
4. Right-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK. Exit Registry Editor.

Note: This change has a impact on system security, use it at your own risk

Answer 1

disable UAC as long as you want to ssh in it:

Control Panel -> search User Account Control.
