How to Enable the Hidden Administrator Account on Windows 7 8 8 1 10
Windows automatically creates an Administrator account with elevated privileges during the installation process.
We mostly need to access it to perform tasks limited only to system Administrators. These are tasks performing which result in the UAC asking for confirmation even if you are using an account with administrative privileges. The elevated Administrator account is disabled by default in Windows 7 , Windows 8 , Windows 8.1 , Windows 10 and Windows Vista .
To activate it, you need to use any one of the the following simple methods.
Important: It is recommended to only use this account for troubleshooting purposes and disable it once the task is complete. Even if you do leave it enabled, protect it with a strong password to prevent unauthorized access.

Windows 8 and 8.1 users, search for CMD on the Start screen and in the results returned, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator .
