    Built in activated admin acc not showing up


    I did all the stuff to enable it net user administrator /active:yes and it said command completed successfully, but I still don't see it on my login screen? If it helps there are 3 users on the PC.

    How to know if you have a BUILT IN ADMIN ACCOUNT or a MAIN ADMIN

    So I went to cmd and I want to know if I have the built in admin account. Im logged in as a standard user, second account.
    and in cmd I typed NET USER USER which probably shows the administrator account. But in the comment section it doesnt say BUILT IN ADMIN ACC FOR ADMINISTRATERING THE PC. Only the hidden admin account has that comment . But how do I know I have the built in admin acc?
    Any help is patiently accepted
