1.Enable
the hidden Administrator account in WIN 7,8,8.1, and 10.
The
Administrator account in WIN7 and later is disabled by default. It is a built
in account which we cannot access for security reasons. However we may need the
administrator account for carrying out troubleshooting operations,testing some
potentially harmful software or carrying out networking tasks such as running
apache servers which requires admin privileges. Here is a step by step guide to
do that
Step 1:
Open cmd by typing cmd on start menu search bar and running it as an
administrator.
Step 2:
In the command prompt type net user
As you
can see there are two users one Administrator and another one is your user
name.
The
Administrator account is disabled by default. So, we are going to enable it by
typing in the command prompt
net
user administrator /active:yes
Now the
admin account is having no password and any one can access it. Hence we are
going to give a password by typing
net user administrator
Note:
using this technique you can change the password of any user by typing(Asterisk
will not appear in this case)
net
user username *
for
example my pc username is Kaushal
hence,
I will be typing, net
user kaushal *
To
disable the admin account type
net
user administrator /active:no
Next
time when you restart your pc you will get two accounts. One consisting of
username and another consisting of the administrator as shown in the pic below
Using
administrator account you don’t have to run programs in admin mode by right
clicking every time because all the programs running inside the admin account
are running in admin mode by default.
