The simple steps to enable and disable the master Administrator account in Windows 7 are as follows:

Enable the Administrator account:

Step 1: Open the command prompt in administrator mode

  • Type ‘cmd’ in the start menu search box:

  • Right click on the Program ‘cmd’
  • Select “Run as administrator”:

Step 2: In Command Prompt:

  • Type in the command ‘net user administrator /active:yes’

 Windows 7 Cmd

And you are done ! 😀

Logoff and login again and you will now see an option for Administrator login!

Administrator Account in Windows 7 Ultimate

Note: It is advisable to create a strong password for this account.

Disable the Administrator account:
