Enable the Hidden Administrator Account in Windows 7

As with Vista, it is possible to enable the Administrator account (hidden) in Seven.

The Administrator account created during installation does not have the ultimate right to the user as a security measure.

Quote:
Grand Administrator account (on default Administrator) not be used as a normal session.

You can go through this Grand Administrator account to solve a problem or blocking rights, or simply activate it and keep it in reserve in case.

Activate the Grand Administrator

  • To Start Click Control Panel (Control Panel), and then click System Security (System and Security).

  • Click on Administrative Tools (Administrative Tools), then click Local Policies-> Security Options(Local Security Policy)



  • In the right pane, double-click Accounts: Administrator account status (Accounts: Administrator account status) and on the Local Security settings Tab (Local Security Setting), select "On" (Enabled), then Apply (Apply ).



  • The Administrator account is now activated and will start Seven or change of use as the Administrator (Administrator).





  • Note:
    This procedure is possible under the direct edition of Seven.

  • According editions below Seven, it will intervene in the registry, as was the case with Vista.

Disable the Grand Administrator
  • To disable this account, simply check Off (Disabled) in Local Security settings Tab (Local Security Settings).

  • You can also activate the account in command prompt as administrator:

    Code:
    net users Administrator / active: yes
  • To deactivate:

    Code:
    net users Administrator / active: no
