How do I obtain my computer MAC address when Command Prompt is disabled?

Enable Command Prompt.
Your post suggests that you do not have admin rights over the PC so would suspect that your administrator also does not want you to know it's MAC address.
Otherwise simply ask the administrator of the PC in question for the information you desire to acquire.

Open notepad, type:
ipconfig /all > e:\ipconfig.txt
Save it as a .bat file, not .txt on your desktop and close it. Double click on it. Then open ipconfig.txt and the MAC address will be in the output. I used the e: drive but you can send it anywhere you want.
