Windows 7 has in-built administrator account but it is hidden by-default. However, one can easily enable or disable it using the set of following instructions.
Enable the administrator account:
- Go to Start menu. Type cmd in the search box and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
- Right click the cmd.exe and click on Run as Administrator.
- Type the following command in the Command Prompt window and press Enter
net user administrator /active
You can also opt to add a password. Adding a password is highly advisable.
- For adding password, type the following command. Write your desired password in place of mypassword.
net user administrator mypassword
This will enable the administrator account.
Disable the administrative account:
- Open command prompt and type the following command.
net user administrator /active:no
This will disable the administrative account.
