That error code indicates that you have configured Far.exe to require admin permissions.

Hi, yes, that's true. I need Far to run with admin privileges to be able to operate on any files in the system w/o extra questions each time. So what should I do now to allow Far working this way?

Until #1032 is complete, you will need to run Terminal as admin to run Far inside it as admin.
/dup #1032
