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.

It should not do that.
1 What else has been done to that account in the past?
2 Is its username still "Administrator" as listed in the response to the command net user
3 If its username is still "Administrator", please post the response to the command net user Administrator

OOBE refers to the first boot of a newly-installed Windows 10.
4 Did you just mean that it went through setting up the account as though it had never been logged into before [or as though its C:\Users\Administrator folder had been deleted after its last login]?
