Why cant I add a new web application is my Windows 7 Sharepoint environment?

I recently installed a test environment on my Windows 7 laptop [using New-SPConfigurationDatabase] but I was unable to add a new Web Application. I created a new user, added it to the Local Administrators group.

Two issues were apparent:
A. I could not add a new Farm Administrator as 'I needed Local Administrator rights' [from the ULS]
B. I could not create a new Web Application [due to security trimming]

The solution lies in the OOTB Administrator account that is provisioned in the Windows 7 installation; it is deactivated by default.

I activated the account and, presto, used its credentials to perform all the required activities.

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter. Powershell to the rescue. $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "job-admin-apppool-change" $job.Delete() Reset the password and all should be good.
