If you are the administrator of a Windows 10 computer, then you may have noticed that your account has been locked. This is because Microsoft has decided to suspend your account for a period of time in order to improve the security of the system. In order to regain access to your account, you will need to follow some simple steps.
- Log into your account and open the Accounts control panel.
- Scroll down and find the Administrator account name under “Accounts.”
- Click on the “Restore my password” button and enter your administrator password.
- Once you have entered your password, click on the “Confirm” button and then click on the “Save” button.
- Once you have saved your password, log out of your account and then back in to it in order to resume using it as an administrator.
When you delete an admin account, all data stored in it is erased. You will lose everything from the desktop of the account, including papers, photographs, music, and other things.
To determine whether a computer is infected with malware, start it in Safe Mode with Networking Support. Log on as an administrator. Start menu > Run > type cmd and then press Enter. At the command prompt, enter the following command, and then press Enter: Console Copy net user administrator /active:yes.
By default, the Administrator account in Windows 10 is hidden and disabled for security reasons. Sometimes you’ll need to manage or troubleshoot your computer, make changes to your account that require administrator access, or perform other tasks as an administrator.
Open the Start menu. Select Settings from the list. Select Accounts from the drop-down menu. Choose Family & Other Users from the list. From the Other users panel, select a user account and then Change Account Type. In the Change account type drop-down menu, choose Administrator.
To remove the built-in Administrator account, right-click the Administrator name and select Delete. Close Registry Editor and restart your computer. The built-in Administrator account has been removed from the Local Users and Groups window.
