How can I update flash player without administration approval?

Go into the user section of control panel in the admin account and make yours an administrator one.

See, that doesn’t work. For some reason, the admin password to see all the accounts isn’t the same as the admin password to log onto the computer. It’s weird.

Okay, I’m confused now. There were two domain names. The entire network and this computer. I think. I changed to the network name and it got me in, but I don’t see my username, or anyone else’s for that matter. There’s just the admin and something called ASPNET. I think then I don’t have the admin password for this computer. I think I’ve been using the network domain name.

@ScottyMcGeester Probably sounds like it. Just ask your admin to update it for you or change your account.

Er, well, thing is I’m not sure I even could ask for that. See, this is for my work computer at my job. I doubt they’ll let me have that password. I mean, I see that I have the admin for this specific computer, but I really doubt my boss will let me have access just for a couple minutes for the entire network just to update Flash. Which, well, is also something I kinda sorta am not supposed to be doing – watching videos. (But everyone does it anyway – not that I advocate that logic but it’s a rather lax rule around here. Like it’s okay as long as you don’t get caught kind of thing)

See, I did this before when I first got here using some guide. It said to download Flash and open up certain files and manually install it using Explorer, copying and pasting and whatknot. But that was a while ago now and when I download Flash now to update it’s just an .exe file. I don’t know why or how the other thing I did wasn’t a .exe file.

Well you’ll have to ask the IT guy then. Make up something like it’s needed on a web page or the update thing it’s asking is annoying you.
