To enable the Windows 10 administrator account do the following:

1. 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.
2. Type cmd and wait for the results to be displayed.
3. 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.
4. Run the command net user to display a list of all user accounts on the system.
5. To activate the inactive administrator account, run the command net user administrator /active:yes
6. 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.

It is highly recommended to protect it with a password. This can also be done on the command line:

1. Type net user administrator * and hit enter.

2. You get a password prompt. Type the desired password and again when you are asked to type it a second time
for confirmation.

To disable accounts at any time, use the following command:

1. On an elevated command prompt: net user administrator /active:no

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the photo above shows, typenet user to get a list of accounts. To the point type: net user administrator *

Your Options (Choose One That Applies):

Change Password:
net user username new_password
When you do so, the password changes without prompting you again.

Add an account:
net user username password /add
Tip: If your username has a space, like John Doe, use quotes like "John Doe".

Admin that:
net localgroup administrators username /add

Delete that:
net user username /delete

Remote Desktop Users Group: (just in case)

net localgroup Remote Desktop Users UserLoginName /add

Net User Syntax Reference:

net user commands
Domain i.e. Servers:
net user for domain
