There is a system service which needs to be disabled, or at least the
process killed. I have tried logging in as administrator and even then
I am unable to terminate it.

The Stop / Pause option for the service is grayed out. Is there any way
around it?

Some services don't want to be stopped; sometimes, these can be killed
from the Task Manager or with TASKKILL.

The kosher method is to disable the service and reboot. Care to
elaborate which one you are concerned about?
