Because by default, user accounts don't have administrative rights.
Reboot into safe mode and log on with the administrator account. Create a special administrator account. (like if your user name is joe, make a a-joe account) Add that user to the administrators group, and assign it a password.
Now, if you try to do something that needs administrator rights, UAC should pop up and list that account to use.
