Windows 10: Completely reset hidden Administrator account?

Hi, not sure if anyone can help - this is more of an OCD type request.

I recently needed to activate the hidden Administrator account and on first run it asked me to set a password and then ran the OOBE.

I found a page on EightForums where Brink explained how to reset the OOBE but this doesn't completely reset everything and the account retains its password. I know that the password can be deleted and the account can be set to ask for a new password when next logged in, but I am looking for a way (if possible) to completely reset it so that the next time I use it it will follow the same steps as the first time, as though I had never used it.
