  • This video shows how to enable the Built-in administrator account on Windows 10.
    Full tutorial: www.avoiderrors.net/?p=29593
    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

    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.

    • @jordanpatterson237
      @jordanpatterson237 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vishwanath Cv instead of this: I would use a USB drive, Ultimate Boot CD and a program called Rufus. Use Rufus to burn UBCD to the USB on another PC. Then insert the UBCD drive into the PC you want to log into. Google “-your computer manufacturer here- bios key” and it will show you how to open the bios. Once in the bios menu, Select the USB you used and let it boot. You will see several options come up you’re going to select Parted Magic. Then after that loads, go to pcloginnow or something similar and click your pc. Then click the administrator account and check the box to make the password empty and check the box to enable that account.
      Click next>restart computer>login as admin. Boom

    @mariusskrupskis2042 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    FIX: Use Safe mode
    So if your acc got fucked the FIX is: open cmd prompt in safe mode and use create acc and make administrator commands there. Or maybe just simple safe mode and acc edit through control panel (haven't tested this). New acc may load for longer than usual, mine did, i thought it was stuck.
    After that if you want to regain your old acc, use his video to reset everything as it was before problems cured. Set acc rights to admin (not other, mine was set to other Sophos antivirus).
