    Change to a New Administrator Account


    Here's what you need to do:
    1. Sign in to current admin account
    2. Create a new user account for yourself (tutorial)
    3. Change the new user account's account type to administrator (tutorial)
    4. Sign out from the old admin account
    5. Sign in to your new admin account
    6. Delete the old admin account (tutorial)
     
  3. Unable to change my account type to Administrator and cant create a new account.

    Hi Aadil,

    I suggest you to activate Default Administrator and try creating a new Account with Administrative privileges. Try the below steps and check if you can create a new Account.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Command prompt(Admin).

    • Type the following command and hit
      Enter:


    net user administrator /active:yes



    Now, sign out from the current account and you will be able to see a new Administrator account. Sign in to the new Administrator Account and you may create
    a new user account
    with administrative privileges. You can also change the current local user account to Administrator Account. Follow the below steps to change the current local user account to Administrator Account.


    • Begin by right-clicking the
      Start Icon of Windows, then click Control Panel.

    • Then under User Accounts and Family Safety, click
      Change Account Type.

    • Then choose the account you wish to change, and double-click it.

    • Then click on Change Account Type.

    • Then choose the Account Type you want the user to be, you can choose between Standard and Administrator.

    • Click on Change Account Type.




    After creating the new user account or changing the current account to Administrator Account, use the following command at the command prompt (as mentioned above) to disable the default administrator account:



    net user administrator /active:no

    Can't change sign in from Local Administrator to Microsoft Account

    Hello Perica,

    I realize your concern. Let me help you with this issue.

    I guess you're trying to access the apps on built in administrator account. Yes, you can't access them using built-in Administrator account. In order to access them you should use Microsoft account. Try with the below mentioned steps and check if it helps
    you.

    Suggest you to try the below mentioned steps to fix this issue, when you access the desktop screen:


    • Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.

    • Click File >
      Run New Task


    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges

    • Type CMD and hit Enter key. Type or copy/paste the following commands at the CMD prompt and hit Enter key:
    net user test /add


    • This command will create a new user account called test.

    net localgroup administrators test /add


    • On executing this command makes
      test account as administrator. In simple this will give administrator privileges to test account by adding it to administrators group.
    Note: In the above command line,
    test is the name of the User Profile which we're creating. You can keep any name in the place of
    test that which you think your User Profile name should be.

    Now logoff from the existing User Profile. When you're on the login screen, on the left bottom corner you can see the account which we have created. Now login with that account and try to convert that account
    as Microsoft account by navigating to Start/>
    Settings/>Accounts/>Your Account/> Sign with Microsoft account Instead.
    If you have Microsoft account try to use that by entering the credentials or else follow the steps to sign-up for new and switch with new Microsoft account.

    Once you done with this, now check if you're able to access the app there.

    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.
