$pks=Get-Date

foreach($pk in $pks){

$date=$pk.Day

Answer 1

Are you trying to change the local admin account?

Verify that account you're trying to modify:

1. exists
2. isn’t disabled
3. isn’t locked

And, lastly, that your account has local admin rights (and you run the code from an elevated PowerShell session -- i.e., start the session with "Run as administrator").
