Access denied error in feature receiver code when deploying-activating custom timer job feature

Question

hi,
am creating a sp timer job for a updating a list.when i write this code in a  the event receiver featureactivated  method, and when i activate this feature , am getting access denied error.
but, when i deploy this timer job [ without feature receiver] through powershell, it works.
i didnt run  this feature receiver with runwithelevatedprivileges delegate - i think this wlll NOT solve the issue.
from one of the posts i seen that, current logedin user needs to be part of config database roles. i didnt understand this point. how can i add my current loge din user into the sp_config database roles? is it through SSMS 2012?
or
is there any way to achieve without feature event receiver?
otherwise i will be forced to write my business logic in a console appln and add this exe in a windows scheduler.!  
help is appreciated!

hi Waqas,
i have ran that powershell script you have pointed to me.
function Set-RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied-False()
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") > $null
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration") > $null
    # get content web service
    $contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
    # turn off remote administration security
    $contentService.RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied = $false
   $contentService.Update()         
now i need to test the functionality from the event receiver after Activate feature button click.
BTW, i have written a console appln for my business  logic and created  an exe.
also, should i test it with a web application levels coped feature instead of  site collection level feature? this  thread talks abt the same:
