HIDDEN Administrator Account Windows 10 - UNCOVER It In 3 Easy Ways

There is a built-in hidden administrator account in Windows 10 which is no longer enabled by default since Windows Vista. Up until Windows XP the built in administrator account was readily available when you set up your computer for the first time. Now when you perform a fresh Windows installation like on Windows 10, the first setup account will be a local user account with administrator privileges, but it is not the built-in administrator account which has some extra perks that you are going to want to know about to impress your friends and make your Windows experience much more safe and secure. So today I will show you 3 ways to enable the built-in administrator account after a Windows installation, and I will also explain why you should do this as well as why you shouldn’t really bother, let’s tech it out.

Command in CMD or Power Shell (Admin):

net user administrator /active:yes
net user administrator /active:no

net user administrator password

Whats driving me INSANE is the amount of times this happens to me where i restart my pc entirely and am freely able todo admin things then a week later i cant delete my temp folder and i see extra users and admins again. Im getting honestly tired of PC and im going to consider never owning one again

[mackzed]

My standard user account does not have admin. rights so every time I try to enable the actual admin acct. I get a message saying that its not going to happen essentially.

[aghoos]

Hi can you please help me, in my case I haven't any admin account only have local account and I cannot make to change to admin account

[unalienablejustice]

What the video failed to mention is that you have to log in with a local/network account with administrative rights in order to do all of these.

[banlander]

the "local users and groups" does not appear on the management, help

[NotThatEpic]

you need windows 10/11 pro to activate the admin account in that way --BUT-- there is another way to do it.

type cmd into search and run it as an administrator. once you have accepted the uac prompt, type in "net user Administrator /active:yes" without the quotation marks and press enter.

then go to the lock screen and the administrator account should appear!

i hope that helped you all for people stuck on windows 10/11 home.

thanks for reading!

Thank you for this video... question though what happens when i dont put a password on the administrator account??? can i log to the pc without any password?

[Evan]

It isn't there I don't see Local Users and Groups. What do I do every time I try running after burner it doesn't give me the other option it just says To continue enter admin user name or password but I don't know where to do that I am getting really annoyed.
