Enable or Disable Administrator Account Windows 10

Windows 10 includes a built-in administrator account that is disabled by default. This account has unrestricted access to the system and can be used to perform tasks that require administrative privileges, such as installing software or modifying system settings. If you need to use the administrator account on your Windows 10 device, you can enable it by following these steps:

  1. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
  2. Type “lusrmgr.msc” into the Run dialog and press Enter. This will open the Local Users and Groups manager.
  3. In the Local Users and Groups manager, click on the “Users” folder in the left-hand pane.
  4. Right-click on the “Administrator” account in the right-hand pane and select “Properties” from the context menu.
  5. In the Properties window, uncheck the box next to “Account is disabled” and click “Apply” to enable the administrator account.
  6. Close the Properties window and the Local Users and Groups manager.

Once the administrator account is enabled, you can log in to it by selecting it from the login screen. Keep in mind that the administrator account has unrestricted access to the system, so it is important to use it responsibly and only when necessary.
