I am running the program at work, where I have limited admin privileges. After much digging, I found the sdk hidden in the AppDatafolder (the folder itself was hidden). Yours might be hidden as well. If you want to look for AppData, but can't find it, open explorer and type %appdata%, press enter. It will show the hidden files. Path will look like this;

C:\Users\Your.name\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1

Now that you have found the sdk, go back in to unity and click EDIT / Preferences / External Tools. You will see a field for Android SDK location - enter the path in that field.

I just made that change to my system here at work, and was finally able to build an Android .apk file

You can put the SDK wherever you want it. Makes more sense to move it up some levels and out of a potentially protected folder.
