If the User Account Control confirmation box no longer allows you to enter password or click Yes when prompted for credentials or consent respectively while performing any administrative task, it means that the currently logged on user profile as some issues. In such situations, the easiest method is to enable the built-in Administrator account, and using the account, remove the existing problematic user, and create a new one.

In order to get the above job done, you must follow the steps given below:
1. Log on to Windows 8/8.1 using any account.
2. Go to the http://www.download3000.com/tips/enable-built-administrator-account-admin-account-works/ link and follow the described procedure to enable the built-in Administrator account.
3. Once the built-in Administrator account is enabled, log on to the Windows 8/8.1 computer using that account.
4. Click the Desktop tile from the Start screen.
5. On the desktop window, press Windows + R keys on the keyboard to open Run box.
6. In the Run box, type COMPMGMT.MSC and hit Enter.

8. From the expanded options, click to select the Users container.
9. From the right pane, right-click the problematic user.
10. Click Delete from the displayed context menu.
11. When prompted, click Yes to confirm your action.
