Enable Admin account on Windows 7

Windows7 admin account is just like that Windows Vista admin account. It does not have by default admin account, So you need to enable them by following steps : Go to start and and open command prompt then run the following command net user administrator /active:yes and restrart the system. If you found any issue reply me.

Group policy method of enable Windows 7 account.

There is another way to activating the administrator account in Windows 7 that is Local Security Policy. You need to type secpol.msc in the search bar and hit enter. Then a Local Security Policy windows open, you need to navigate Local Policies > security option where you will find Accounts: Administrator account. Just double click on that and enable it and restart the windows. If you have any confusion after that, Please reply.
