Windows 10 - Enable The Built-in Administrator Account

This video shows how to enable the Built-in administrator account on Windows 10.

By default Windows 10 comes with a pre-installed administrator account, but for security purposes its disabled.

To enable the Windows 10 administrator account do the following: Run command prompt as admin and enter the following commands

net user administrator /active:yes

Create a password:

net user administrator *

Here is the command to disable it:

net user administrator /active:no

I did this but "access denied " msg is displayed

Actually administrator and local user who is an administrator he also disabled and currently any local user does not have administrator authority means system doesn't have administrator all are local users and no one can perform any admin activity. What should I do?

User Account Control won't allow me to use Command Prompt (Admin), only Command Prompt. With that I can get to the net user screen and see that the default administrator acct is inactive, but I can't activate it with the command you gave. I can't get past User
Account Control no matter how I try. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I don't have command prompt as admin on my windows 10

[harrydecker]

When I right click on Start button, there is no Command Prompt option. This option is under Windows System on my computer, and then it has no Command Prompt Administrator option.
