Enable Administrator Account in Windows 7
November 25th, 2009
Those of you who switched to Windows 7 may have realized that the “Administrator” account is missing. It is hidden by default- but luckily, it’s rather easy to enable.
This account may be needed for running certain applications that require Administrator Mode. The default Administrator account is recommended to use for troubleshooting purposes only.
1- Click the Windows button at the lower left corner (where the “Start” button in XP used to be)
2- Type in “cmd” in the search bar below
3- You should see “cmd.exe” as the first search result – right-click on it and click “Run as administrator”
4- type in net user administrator /active:yes
5- Now log out and you should see the “Administrator” account as an option
