There's nothing wrong here. It's just that you don't have permission to 
open the Administrator home directory.

On Windows, sometimes you'll see the "no such file or directory" error 
when you try to stat a directory or file to which you have no access. 
Try "ls -l C:/" : you'll see errors like the following:

$ ls -l c:/
ls: c:/hiberfil.sys: No such file or directory
ls: c:/pagefile.sys: No such file or directory
