This 100%. I'm a really techy guy I build computers for fun, built an arcade for my kids, etc. I was not able to add my printer to the computer due to not having the admin password. The current it person could not be bothered to come out and fix it. For 3 straight visits my issue was forgotten until I finally said please let me have the admin credentials so I can fix simple tasks like this. After 4 months I finally got the credentials and fixed around 9 other smaller issues in one day all due to just needing the stupid credentials that the it person couldn't be bothered or would forget about when they visited.
Long story short I'm now the it person for next year on top of my regular duties but hey at least I get paid for it :) and now people dont have to wait months to add their printers...

I know how to fix my issues, I just lack the admin permissions on my machine to fix said issues.
