Windows 10: Hidden Admin

I have been trying to install a non-Microsoft program on my new laptop with windows 10 pro. The program has a certified Microsoft certification and is provided by a large brokerage firm.


To do the install it, I realize it requires to be able to work in the hidden admin account net user.... The account is now asking for a password and I don't ever remember setting a password. I assume the name is "administrator". Can you please explain how I can get a new hidden admin password?


My windows 10 pro version is 10.0.18363.535


Thank you

:)

Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

What are your ideas?
