  1. Can’t login to my pc No administrator found


    I recently got a pc from a friend of mine and so I resettes the whole pc. Complete whipe Everything seemed to be normal until I came to the login screen. The login screen said “Sign in to other user” and it gave me two boxes, “username” and “password”. I had no idea how to fix this issue so I did some research myself and tried to solve the problem as I am a computer guy myself. There was a couple command prompt methods but they would not work as an error message on my screen said “you need an administrator account to use this” or something along the lines. I tried to make a system restore and gave me the same error message about the “not having an administrator account. I really have no idea what to do, I was thinking about using a flash drive and downloading windows 10 iso again but im not really sure as I would assume there would be a simplier way. Please help :

    :)

  2. Upgrade to Windows 10 removed administrator account named "Administrator"

    Hi Lonna,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    1) Currently are on Windows 7 or Windows 10?

    2) If you are on Windows 7, are you able to see the "Administrator" account in the PC?

    If you are on Windows 10, try to follow the below steps and check.

    I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and check if you’re able to login using your Microsoft account.

    Method 1: Safe mode.

    Please follow below steps:


      • Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
        Shift key and click on Restart.

      • Click on Troubleshoot.

      • Click on Advanced options.

      • Click on Startup Settings.

      • Click on Restart.

      • Login to Microsoft Account and create a new administrator account.
    If you’re not able to login using Microsoft account then refer to below steps and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    Activate Inbuilt Administrator Account.

    Follow the below steps:


      • Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
        Shift key and click on Restart.

      • Click on Troubleshoot.

      • Click on Advanced options.

      • Click on Command Prompt and enter following command.

        net user Administrator /active:yes
    Now reboot your system and login to inbuilt admin account and try to reset password for other account. Once you reset password login to other account and to deactivate inbuilt admin account enter following command in elevated command prompt.

    net user Administrator /active:no



    Hope these information helps, please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.
