"To continue, enter an admin username and password",

Hello ,

Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

Firstly, could you let me know the specific system version (OS Build)? You can check it by pressing Win + X > System > Windows specifications, click “Copy” and paste it in your next reply.

Did this occur recently, or has it been going on for a while? If it was recent, did you have any special actions (such as installing system updates, hardware changes, etc.) before that?

You can try to create a local administrator account following the steps below to avoid later being unable to log in or completely losing administrator privileges.

• Create a local user account
  

1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts and then select Family & other users. (In some versions of Windows you'll see Other users.)
   
2. Next to Add other user, select Add account.
   
3. Select I don't have this person's sign-in information, and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.
   
4. Enter a username, password, or password hint—or choose security questions—and then select Next.
   

• Change a local user account to an administrator account
  

1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts.
   
2. Under Family & other users, select the account owner name (you should see "Local account" below the name), then select Change account type.
   
3. Note: If you choose an account that shows an email address or doesn't say "Local account", then you're giving administrator permissions to a Microsoft account, not a local account.
   
4. Under Account type, select Administrator, and then select OK.
   
5. Sign in with the new administrator account.
   

Visit Create a local user or administrator account in Windows - Microsoft Support for more details.

Note: If the new account is normal, please do not delete the old account before backing up the data of the old account to avoid any data loss.

If you are unable to create an administrator account using the above steps, please try creating the account using commands (if you can run Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator). Run Command Prompt as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q" to open Search box, type"Command Prompt", select "Run as administrator"), and copy and paste the following commands into the Command Prompt and press Enter to run one by one.

"UserName" is the new user account name, and "Password" is the password of the user, you can customize them.

Or use the following command to activate Super Administrator:

Then adjust the UAC settings: Win + Q to open the search box, type "UAC" and press Enter, open the "User Account Control Settings" interface, and then suggest that you set it to "Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer(default)", this is the default option.

Disclaimer: Follow these steps to temporarily disable User Account Control (UAC). However, keep in mind that if you do so, your device may be vulnerable to threats. So please turn on it immediately once the issue is fixed.

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Best Regards,

Forget hidden Administrator Account Password-Windows 10

Thank you for providing the details. You can change the password of the hidden admin account by following the steps below.

• Press Windows key and type "cmd".
• Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
• Type this command: net user "UserName" "NewPassword".
  
  Type "administrator" in the "Username" and type the password that you want in the
  "NewPassword".
• Retype the password that you've created and close the Command Prompt.

These steps are intended for local accounts. And since the hidden admin account is considered a local account, you can apply these steps.

Let us know how that turned out for you.
