  1. Help - No admin accounts


    Hello,
    My PC for some reason has removed the administrator status from my account and therefore right now there is no administrator.
    I can't download/open certain files because i'm not an administrator and when it gives me the option of typing in the administrator password, there is no spot located for me to be able to type and the 'yes' box doesn't allow me to click it either as it is grayed out.
    I've attached some examples the troubles i have and what i think may be of help? sorry i'm not much of a tech person
    Any help would be helpful. thank you so much ><

    All accounts guest accounts, no user admin

    Hi Nimita,

    Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

    Enable the hidden Administrator Account and
    try creating user account and check.



    You need to run the command from an elevated command prompt.



    To do that you need to do the following:

    a) Press
    Windows key + X on the keyboard.

    b) Click on ‘Command Prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated command prompt. Note: Click ‘Yes’ if it prompts
    for permission.

    c) Enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:

    net user administrator /active:yes



    Now create a new user account and make this account as an administrator.



    Create a user account

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/create-user-account

    Note: This also applies to Windows 10



    Once you are done creating a new user account disable hidden Administrator Account.



    To do that you need to do the following:

    a) Press
    Windows key + X on the keyboard.

    b) Click on ‘Command Prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated command prompt. Note: Click ‘Yes’ if it prompts
    for permission.

    c) To disable the account follow the same instructions, but run the following command instead:
    net user administrator /active:no



    If you have any more suggestions/queries related to Windows feel free to post. We will be happy to help you.

    Help - No admin accounts

    Windows has a built in Administrator account that is inactive by default. You have to activate it, and then make yourself an Administrator. Because you are not a administrator now, not all options are available to activate it. Start with Option 1, but I believe you need Option 4. After you are an Administrator, you should disable the built in Administrator account. This is a guide to enable it.
