You need to run the command prompt as Administrator. Usually this means right clicking Command Prompt in the menu bar and selecting "Run as Administrator".

You're running Vista or Windows 7?

If so, you're probably running UAC, which means you need to run cmd.exe as an administrator

Right click on the command prompt shortcut and click "run as administrator"

Just to follow through with full instructions since you might not have a shortcut to cmd on your start menu.  In search box on your start put in cmd, when you see the shortcut for cmd listed, right click on that and say run as administrator.

here is a walk thru with pictures ;)
