How to enable the hidden Windows 10 administrator account

Windows 10 creates two additional user accounts automatically which are both inactive by default.

The first is a guest account which Microsoft designed for users who access the device but don't have a permanent account on it.

Guest accounts are severely limited as it is not possible to install software or hardware, or modify system settings.

The second is the administrator account. It is also inactive by default and needs to be enabled before it can be used. While not required at all, it is often used for troubleshooting or administrative purposes when it is enabled.

To enable the Windows 10 administrator account do the following:

1. Tap on the Windows-key. This should open the start menu or bring you to the Start Screen interface depending on how Windows 10 is configured on the system.
2. Type cmd and wait for the results to be displayed.
3. Right-click on the Command Prompt result (cmd.exe)  and select "run as administrator" from the context menu. Alternatively, hold down the Shift-key and the Ctrl-key before you start cmd.exe.
4. Run the command net user to display a list of all user accounts on the system.
5. To activate the inactive administrator account, run the command net user administrator /active:yes
6. If you want to enable the guest account as well run the command net user guest /active:yes

The administrator account is active now which means that you can sign in to the system using it. It is not password protected by default which means that anyone with access to the system can use it to sign in to it.

It is highly recommended to protect it with a password. This can also be done on the command line:

1. Type net user administrator * and hit enter.
2. You get a password prompt. Type the desired password and again when you are asked to type it a second time for confirmation.

To disable accounts at any time, use the following command:

1. On an elevated command prompt: net user administrator /active:no
