What you appear to be describing is actually a behavior of Windows Vista; not of CorelDRAW itself.
The administrator account that Windows is prompting for is an account that would have been defined when setting up Windows on the computer that you are using. You will be prompted for an administrator-level account during several types of actions; not just in relation to Corel applications.
Someone familiar with how Windows was installed and configured on the specific computer you're using would need to provide you with the Windows username and password of the administrator-level account that exists on that computer.

Currently we are assuming that you are seeing a prompt similar to the one shown in the screen shot attached at the bottom of this message. If the screen shot attached is not the kind of prompt you are seeing, post a screen shot of the specific prompt that you are trying to satisfy.
For the prompt shown in the screen shot attached here, Windows is presenting this prompt because you are attempting to perform an action for which Windows requires you to have full administrator access to your computer. Installing a new application, whether it is specifically CorelDRAW or almost any other Windows application, requires that you have full administrator access to your computer.
If the Windows user account you are currently logging into Windows Vista with is NOT an administrator-level account, Windows is going to prompt you for the username and password of an administrator-level account on your Windows computer in order to continue with the application installation. This happens regardless of whether you manually select "Run as administrator...", or simply try and perform that installation directly. Windows will force most application installations to "Run as administrator" whether you manually elected to do it or not.
When your current Windows user account already is a member of Administrators, Windows Vista will still be prompting you for a confirmation to run the setup program, but would not be asking for you to input credentials of an administrator-level account. Instead it would simply be seeking "approval" to use the administrator-level rights your current Windows account already has.
Since Windows is prompting you to provide the username and password of an administrator-level account, it appears that your current Windows account is not an Administrators member. This typically means there is another Windows user account on this same computer which IS an Administrators member, and was used to create the additional user account you're currently logging in with. The other Administrators member account usually shows up in the list Windows prompts you with, unless the Administrators member account has been subsequently disabled or deleted. (For example, in the attached screen shot you can see the the other user account "user456" in addition to "user123".)
If you do not know the name or password of the Administrators member account on your computer, or if you need Windows-specific help in trying to investigate and resolve why there are not any Administrator member accounts showing up on your computer, I recommend that you seek help for how to troubleshoot this issue in a Windows Vista security-related discussion group, such as: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistasecurity/threads/
Although someone here in the CorelDRAW.com forums might be kind enough to help, searching though the existing messages in the Windows Vista security discussion group from people with similar Windows Vista problems, and asking the experts that hang out in the Windows Vista security discussion group if necessary, is the better and more appropriate place to try and discuss and resolve this Windows issue. Since this is not a simple or "quick" situation to identify and resolve.
actually, that's not the kind of prompt i recieves, instead it shows in a warning sign with this message; "to run the application or for first-time activation, login using adminstrator-level account thereupon another user can access"
