In Windows XP and the earlier Windows versions, there was only one Administrator account, and most single users used it as their main account. But Windows Vista and later, i.e., Windows 10 and Windows 8/7, have another built-in Administrator account, what may be referred to as a secret hidden super built-in Administrator account. It is hidden & turned off by default, and is similar to the ‘root’ account in Unix.
Disable or Enable built-in Administrator account
To enable, activate or turn on this built-in Administrator account, type CMD in the search box. CMD will appear at the top. Right-click on it to ‘Run as administrator’.
To enable this built-in Administrator account, type this command & hit Enter:
Net user administrator /active:yes
To disable this built-in Administrator account, type this command & hit Enter:
Net user administrator /active:no
If you decide that you need a password for the administrator’s account that you are going to activate or if you are unable to activate it with a blank password run the following commands:
Net user administrator P@$$w0rd
Net user administrator activate:yes
You will get a message: The command completed successfully. (Where P@$$w0rd has been taken as an example password)
Switch user and log on using this password.
Alternatively, you may also type secpol.msc in the search box and hit Enter. This will bring up the Local Security Policy.
In the left side click on Local Policies > Security Options. Now on the right side, you will see the first entry as Accounts:Administrator Account – Disabled.
Right-click on it > Click Properties > Enable. Close.
Reboot.
You can also use our Ultimate Windows Tweaker for Windows 10 to easily enable or disable this built-in Administrator Account.
And why would you want to operate this account?
- You don’t want to be ‘annoyed’ by UAC.
- This ‘super’ administrator account has elevated privileges. This means that you can run CMD with unrestricted access to the command line.
- You need to carry out some serious troubleshooting.
- You have locked out your main account by accident, and you want a backdoor entry.

how does a administrator account change the password on another user with a standard account in Windows 8.1
when is enter Net user administrator /active:yes in cmd it says Access Denied…i m using win 8.1
Mine said the same thing. This is irritating. When I called Microsoft to try to fix this, they wanted to charge $99.99 for one month of support.
You need to use an elevated command prompt (run as administrator) to do it.
ya all saying (Run as admin..) but we can’t bcoz we got 1 or 2 other account that has admin but not them.
-Me for example.
My fake dad got a account and my mom got one too! But My Stepfather did change it so it is just him who are admin now! AND I want to change my account to admin too (i don’t knnow he’s password)
I can’t Run As administrator bcoz i need to type in he’s password ! I don’t wanna do that, when i ask him for the password he just say no! so what should I DO SO I CAN BE ADMINISTARTOR IN OTHER WAY THAN (RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR) ??? PLS HELP
All the solutions I’ve seen so far assume that the main account has administrative privileges and “Run as Administrator” is enabled for that account… But what can I do in order to enable this Hidden/Super Administrator Account when the only available account on the system (the main user account, which used to be in the “Administrators” group) was somehow “degraded” by Windows to the “guest” group and therefore has no privileges? I mean, I have one -and only one- user account but now the “Run as Administrator” option is disabled for this account (when I click on “Run as Administrator”, it asks for a password but there isn’t any password field to type it in in order to continue).
try PASSWARD,this may help u……..
I’m sorry, but there is no way to run as an administrator without the administrative privileges.
i am not able to run any administrative tools..and no permission to to open administrator drive..what can i do now?
Don’t worry. I have an easy fix for you.
Try Elementary OS, Bodhi, Linux Mint, or Ubuntu.
Or, even Easy Peasy!
MS will never have to know, & you won’t have to be spied on.
Free, & easy!

help please
There is a way of activating a super administrator even if you don’t have an administrator account. In fact, you could even activate it without an account at all.
This is how it’s done:
Run a half ‘system restore’ at startup to switch you over the a DOS command prompt. A ‘system restore’ at startup runs at administrator level. Upon switching over to a DOS prompt you’ll also be switched over as an administrator. So it’s like borrowing the administrative privilege from a System tool (the restore tool). Remember that this restore tool normally loads when startup system files are corrupt, but now since your Windows is not corrupt, Restore could be activated by is a Windows Installation disk. Meaning boot up with an Installation disk, and half restore window; where it shows “command prompt” stop there and select “command prompt”. That ‘command prompt’ is a virtual command prompt, meaning it’s in memory or swap file.
just try
net user (enter)
net user administrator * (enter)
or
net user (your administrator name) example net user mypc * (enter)
or
net user (your administrator name) example net user “mypc” * (enter)
