Enable hidden Administrator account in windows 7,8 and 10

There was an Administrator account in windows xp. But, you don't find it in windows vista, windows 7,windows 8 and windows 10. If you have used windows xp then you can understand what are the advantages of this Administrator account. You need to run as administrator in many cases of troubleshooting.

The interesting thing you don't know is that Administrator account is also available in windows vista, windows 7, windows 8 and windows 10. But, it is disabled. So you can't see it. Actually it is hidden.
But, I have a trick. You can enable hidden administrator account with this trick. Before using this trick, you should remember my warning that never use administrator account other than troubleshooting.
Let's explain the trick.
  • Search the command prompt by typing cmd in the search box. Don't open it by clicking enter. Right click on cmd icon and select the option run as administrator .
  • Now command prompt window will open. Type the command as written below : 
net user administrator /active:yes

And press the Enter button of your keyboard.
  • A message will display that the command completed successfully. Just log out from your PC and login again.
Now you will see two accounts -  Administrator and other your personal account.
Administrator account will open without password if you click it with mouse. But if you want to keep this account permanently then you must make it password protected so that people other than you couldn't access it.

How to disable the Administrator account

If you want to disable again this active administrative account then do the steps mentioned below:
  • Open command prompt by the process previously discussed.
  • Type the command written below                                                                             
net user administrator /active:no                                                                                        

Press Enter.
That's all. You have done this. Your administrator account is again disabled and hidden.
