How to Elevate User Account to Administrator Via CMD

In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to promote an existing user account to an administrator account using Command Prompt (CMD). This is a very useful technique when you're in the recovery options.

List of all user accounts on the computer, including their usernames and account status (active/inactive):
net user

This will display details about the user account on a Windows system:
net user "username"

Creates a new user account on a Windows system:
net user "username" /add

Create a new user with a new password:
net user "username" *

Granting administrative privileges to a user account significantly increases their control over the system:
net localgroup Administrators "username" /add

Hint:
Sometimes the name is too long, you may need quotation mark at both end.
net localgroup Administrators "John Smith" /add

I can’t run command prompt as administrator

Because i’m not an administrator.

I can get to the command prompt as admin but I can’t get to the C: directory.
