    Help in deleting built-in administrator account in Windows 10

    I am having the same problem

    My Acer S3 is crashing multiple times very day with a blue screen error - Windows 10 definitely not doing it for me - I have also spent hours trying to sort out drivers on another persons laptop who went past the 30 days to be able to roll back

    I want to roll back asap - I believe my 30 days will be up in 2 days - I have tried multiple sites to get support to no avail - the instructions just haven't worked

    Help in deleting built-in administrator account in Windows 10

    Sorry, I thought it would expand

    It says:

    "Before you can go back to a previous version of Windows, you'll need to remove any user accounts you added after your most recent upgrade. The accounts need to be removed, including their profiles.

    You created one account (Administrator)

    Go to Settings > Accounts Other users to remove these accounts, and then try again."

    Of course, when I tried to follow this advice, the built in administrator account is nowhere to be found (as it was disabled).

    I also know about the way to confirm this using Run>lusrmgr.msc that the administrator account was indeed disabled.

    Thank you, again, for your time and patience

    You can check the status of your Administrator account as follows:

    Open an elevated Command Prompt and type: net user Administrator

    By default, the built-in Admin Account has NO password, unless whoever enabled it created a password.
    If nobody created a password for the Admin Account, then in the sign in screen, all you have to do is to press Enter key and you will be in.
    See if that applies to you.
    If you get in to the built-in Admin account, use it to change you standard user account to administrator account.
