:: How to enable and disable the Windows Administrator account 21 ::
Now many of
us mostly used Windows 10. We generally Install Windows 10 from Installer disk
and activate with windows 10 activator, or
some of us used a purchased windows 10
product key. It’s all another matter, and my todays
matter is different. In my previous article
I discus about what is windows 10 safe mode ? How to windows
10 enable remote desktop?
Now I will
discuss about a matter, like what to do if “windows 10 administrator access denied”??
When we
install Windows 10 in new on a PC or run it for the first time if it comes
pre-installed with the computer, you create the first user account during that
process.
This is the
main account on the system and configured to be an administrator account by
default, but it is not the only one that is created during that process.
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.
A core
difference between the administrator account of the user and this built-in
administrator account is that the former receives UAC prompts while the latter
does not. The user account is an un-elevated administrator account while the
built-in administrator accounts an elevated one.
To enable the Windows 10 administrator account do the
following:
·
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.
·
Type
cmd and wait for the results to be displayed.
·
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.
·
Run
the command net user to display a list of all user accounts on the system.
·
To
activate the inactive administrator account, run the command net user administrator /active:yes
·
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.
The built-in Administrator account is
disabled by default in Windows 8,
Windows 7, and Windows Vista. It
is disabled to enhance security as this is a common account targeted by hacking
scripts and hackers when they try and access your computer without your
permissions. In my opinion,
you should leave the Administrator account disabled, but I decide to write
this guide because many of my friends ask me about this and also ask how to do
this. This guide will provide you about the methods that will allow you to
enable your Administrator account in Windows
8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista if
Administrator access denied.
:: It is important to note that in order to
perform either of these methods you will need to be logged in with an account
with Administrator privileges. ::
That’s my recommendation
to you, if you are enabling the Administrator account for the first time you
will also need to assign it a strong password.
Enable
the Administrator account through the Computer Management Console:
:: this
method only works in Windows Vista
& 7 Professional, Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise,
and Windows 8 ::
About Windows
10 I discuss in above part.
In Windows 8, from the Start Screen type
Computer and when the icon appears right-click on it. You should now see some
options appear at the bottom of the screen. Left-click on the
“Manage” option and skip to step 2.
In Windows XP, Vista, and 7, right-click on the “My Computer” icon on
your desktop and select “Manage” as shown in the image below. If you do not have this icon, you
can click on the Start button and the right click on the Computer menu option.
If prompted
by a User Account Control screen, click on the “Yes” button.
When “Computer
Management” screen will open. Expand the “System Tools”
folder, then open “Local Users and Groups” folder, and finally click on the
Users folder to make it highlighted. Now, In
the right hand side you will now see a list of the accounts of your computer
including the “Administrator” account.
Now Right-click on the “Administrator” and click on the “Properties” menu
option as shown in the image given below.
After Administrator Properties screen will now
open as shown in the image below.
Uncheck the “Account is disabled” checkbox if you
would like to enable the Administrator account. If you wish to disable the
account, then put a checkmark in this box instead.
Press the “OK”
button and then close the Computer Management screen.
If you have
enabled the Administrator account, please assign it a password as it does not
have one by default. It is also suggested that you rename the account using the
instructions here.
Enable
the Administrator account through the “Local Policy Editor”:
:: this
method only works in Windows Vista
& 7 Professional, Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise,
and Windows 8 ::
>> In
Windows Vista or Windows 7 click on the Start
button and type Local Security Policy and press Enter on your keyboard. When the Local Security
Policy opens, skip to step 2.
>> In
Windows 8, from the Start Screen type Run and then press Enter on your keyboard.
When the Run dialog box opens, type secpol.msc and then press Enter on your your keyboard. Please continue to step 2.
If prompted
by a User Account Control screen, click on the Yes button.
When the Local
Security Policy screen opens, expand the Security Settings folder, then
the Local Policies folder, and then click on the Security Options folder so it
is highlighted. You will now be at a screen showing the local security options
for Windows as shown below.
Scroll
through the list and double-click on the policy named Accounts: Administrator
account status as shown in the image above.
The policy
properties screen will now open as shown in the image below.
Either
select Enabled or Disabled depending whether or not
you wish to enable or disable the built-in Administrator account. When done,
click on the OK button to save your changes.
You can now
close the Local Policy Editor.
>> There is also a another way to enable it if your Administrator account is disable permanently disable and you have a only one user with only "user" privilege. That was mainly do with the "windows OS Disk", we can go to the raw point of the OS and can do anything with OS. So don't be hurry!!! we will reveled that method as soon as possible.<<
